American blogger Yoatzi Castro was harassed by an unknown man during a live Twitch stream at Disneyland, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times.
Castro was celebrating a friend's birthday at the theme park when a stranger suddenly approached her and grabbed her buttocks. The blogger became angry and shouted at the man, but he pretended not to understand her reaction.
Following the encounter, Castro reported what had happened to Disneyland security personnel. Park security staff notified law enforcement, and police officers subsequently detained the visitor before releasing him a short time later.
Castro expressed her gratitude to the Disneyland security team and stated that she intends to press sexual harassment charges against the man. She added that women always have to be on alert because you never know when such men will be nearby.
Disneyland security and live streaming
Disneyland, located in Anaheim, California, is the original theme park opened by The Walt Disney Company. The world-famous resort receives millions of guests every year and operates a comprehensive security infrastructure, working alongside local law enforcement officers to respond to safety concerns and public disturbance reports across the property.
The incident occurred while Castro was actively broadcasting on Twitch, the live video streaming service owned by Amazon. On Twitch, lifestyle bloggers and creators frequently host in-real-life streams, sharing unedited video of their daily lives, outings, and celebrations directly with digital audiences.
Public live streaming has become a staple format for popular online personalities, but broadcasting real-time footage in crowded public venues presents unique safety risks. Because streams broadcast continuous video without a time delay, creators can be exposed to unexpected harassment or confrontations from individuals in their immediate surroundings.
Prior attacks on live streamers
Safety risks facing digital creators while broadcasting in public places have drawn growing attention across the online video industry, where streamers must often navigate unpredictable public interactions while recording live footage.
The harassment report involving Castro comes after a previous incident in which an American blogger known online as Captain Crunch Boats was attacked during a live broadcast. In that case, the influencer was targeted with a knife while streaming and suffered a wound.
