What began as a mere exchange of words between the Fortnite streamer and his mother ended in a physical altercation after a kick was thrown in her general direction toward the end of a heated argument.

Fortnite streamer lost his cool during an argument with his mother; threatened to punch her in the throat

After a three-day marathon of Fortnite streaming on Twitch, a young streamer known as YEdge was confronted by his mother about something related to his time spent at the PC. Although it’s unclear what the issue was, she opened the conversation by stating,

By the time the conversation had reached this point, the screen went blank and the game was no longer visible on stream. By all accounts, it would seem that the mother somehow managed to disconnect one of the monitors, but the Fortnite streamer’s camera remained on.

At this point, the young Fortnite streamer retaliated by kicking in the general direction of his mother, saying, “I’ll punch you in the throat re****.” His mother responded by saying he wouldn’t be allowed to use the computer for two days on account of his behavior. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

Soon after the incident occurred on the livestream, a few friends managed to clip it and post it on several subreddit groups and other social media sites. Backlash soon followed, and a few days later, YEdge published an apology on Twitter.

It’s still unclear what had transpired, however, both of them agreed to seek help and work on the problem together. Hopefully, the relationship and situation have both improved since then, and the bond between mother and son has been fixed with past transgressions being forgiven.
