STREAMER Amouranth has received a gift package from a fan containing $70k (£58k), a new iPhone, a taser, and a warning about her safety.
The package has come after the streamer Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa revealed live on stream that she was married, and accused her husband of controlling her and her stream.

Among other things, she claimed he would decide what clothes she wore, control her finances, and threatened to hurt her dogs if she did not comply.
She has since separated from her husband, and is seeking legal counsel.
The events were all shown live on stream, with Amouranth revealing messages and calls from her husband of a threatening nature.
She is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch and has thousands of viewers watching her at any given time.
One of her viewers had heard about her plight, and wanted to help her with the situation.
The iPhone came with a prepaid plan, so Amouranth could activate it and keep the number private.
The package also contained the number for a bodyguard service, which had also been prepaid by the fan.
Inside was a letter from the viewer which read: “I have provided a few defence essentials and cash, to ensure that no amount of financial tampering can hinder your resolution.

“Lastly, I have included a new phone, all you have to do is activate the service, the plan is active and prepaid. No one except you will know the number.”
Viewers were concerned that the package would come with strings attached, but Amouranth said that she didn’t find anything “creepy” in the package.
She said the package didn’t contain the usual hallmarks of messages from stalkers such as “run away with me” or “please marry me”.
Amouranth has received a number of anonymous fan packages over the years with declarations of love inside.
She said this package was different, stating: “[It’s] just a letter like ‘here’s your stuff, have a good life’”.
Amouranth has continued to stream since the separation from her husband, and intends to keep working.
