Arsenal Fan TV star Troopz is slammed by fans for ‘toxic’ behaviour, calling his wife ‘this f***ing woman’ in an angry rant when she walked in during his live stream of their defeat by Man City
Supporters have slammed AFTV star Troopz after he launched an angry rant towards his wife during the Gunners’ 4-1 defeat by Manchester City on Wednesday.
Troopz, whose real name is Aumar Hamilton, made his name during the early days of the channel – then known as Arsenal Fan TV – when he was a vocal critic of Arsene Wenger.
He remains a regular presence in regards to Arsenal matters online – but is no longer associated with AFTV – and now works for US company Barstool Sports. On Wednesday night he was running a live stream of the huge title clash.
However, Troopz launched into a horrifying rant towards his wife after Kevin De Bruyne put Pep Guardiola’s side 1-0 up after just seven minutes.
As he reacted to the Belgian firing past Ramsdale, Troopz lost his cool and appeared to shout in the direction of his partner as he said: ‘No man this f***ing woman walks in then they f***ing score. Nah cut bruv, nah I’m being deadly f***ing serious, don’t smile at me.
‘I’m being deadly serious leave the room. Leave the room. Don’t laugh at me, leave the room. Leave! Leave! Leave babe! Leave you’re not watching it. How can you walk in here and they f***ing score?
‘What do you mean you’re going to watch it? Nah leave, leave! You’re cursing my team.’
Football doesn’t cause domestic abuse but it can trigger existing abuse. The abusive behaviour displayed by Troopz towards his wife highlights how football can create a period of more intense control and fear, exacerbating an existing problem. pic.twitter.com/3pUNphtfw9

See reactions below:
‘After more than 2.4m views of Troopz shouting at his wife cuz [because] his team were losing a game, Barstool has deleted the tweet where they found that incident hilarious.’
Another added: ‘That Troopz guy is vile. How dare he speak to his Wife so rudely on that video just because Man City scored? As for anyone on here who may find his awful behaviour funny, have a word with yourself.’
A further supporter fumed: ‘I understand it’s frustrating seeing your team losing but talking to your wife/partner like that is disgusting! Shame on Troopz for this!’
Meanwhile, David Challen, who is a campaigner on domestic abuse, added: ‘Football doesn’t cause domestic abuse but it can trigger existing abuse. The abusive behaviour displayed by Troopz towards his wife highlights how football can create a period of more intense control and fear, exacerbating an existing problem.’
He continued: ‘This behaviour is not normal, acceptable nor should be seen as entertainment to be live streamed to countless young men and boys who watch his content. There is no place in society for this behaviour. It is abusive and controlling.
‘Troopz’s young son was also in the room and verbally attacked for his team conceding another goal. So, not only did his son witness his mother be verbally abused, he was himself too. Children are victims of domestic abuse in their own right. This is awful.’
