On October 16, Amouranth took to social media to share her unsettling experience. She revealed that her staff had noticed someone taking pictures of her house, leading to a series of alarming events. As she returned home from an IRL stream, she sensed that she was being followed. A car pulled up behind hers, and a man got out, behaving erratically.
Security camera footage captured the man approaching her house and engaging with an assistant. Despite claiming to live nearby, his request to meet Amouranth inside was denied. The situation escalated when he mentioned meeting at a park with a troubled past, where a recent double homicide had occurred.
