Justketh is an IRL Twitch streamer residing in Bangkok, Thailand. IRL streaming has gained a lot of popularity recently and are entertaining to watch. Sometimes, things don’t go as planned and IRL streaming can get a little confrontational.
Twitch streamer “justketh” is no stranger to uncomfortable situations as she has been robbed on stream before. This incident took place when she was live streaming on January 2, 2023. IRL streamers are well versed in confrontations and difficult situations as the public is unpredictable.
A man was arrested after he started harassing and chasing the internet personality on a live stream. The IRL streamer was sitting near a pool when a man approached her and asked her to sit with him. Things went wild when she declined the man’s offer.
Justketh claims the man made a sexual gesture towards her that she did not appreciate. The man started to chase her aggressively and the streamer ran towards the hotel staff to notify them. Eventually, the police came to the rescue and issued the man a fine of 300 euros which he declined to pay. This led to his arrest as the police took him away.

IRL Twitch streamer Justketh takes to Twitter after chaos
Justketh explained the entire situation to her fans after the incident. The situation escalated after she declined the man’s proposal. The police fined the man, which could not be paid due to some banking issues on the man’s behalf, which led to his arrest and a night in jail.
The man was enraged after he figured she was recording or streaming. Putting cameras in people’s faces does not sound like a good idea, but this time the stream captured the entire incident which helped the police figure out the culprit.
1# I was streaming at the hotel’s pool where only me and the guy were present. He been sitting in the pool and drinking beer. After he asked me to sit next to him and made a sexual gesture (looked at his crotch and nodded) while I was at the opposite side of the pool.

#3 called the police and they ended up fining him ,he claimed not to be able to pay by any means that didn’t require my personal information and claimed that he had no access to cash. So the police took him to the station and will make him spend 1 night in jail and 300 euro fine
