Darren “IShowSpeed” is being criticized by a large number of people in the streaming community for some recent comments he made after arguing with a girl on-stream. The content creator got very agitated after talking to her on his phone and, in the heat of the moment, repeatedly used words like “b*tch” and “tre*sh,” a pejorative slang used to denigrate women. This drew the ire of many on the internet.
With his track record of making controversial remarks, the 18-year-old has already become a polarizing figure and has been streaming on YouTube for over a year after being banned from Twitch. While the VOD seems to have been deleted, clips of the interaction have been shared by many fans.
In the video embedded below, IShowSpeed can be heard saying:
“F*ck you, b*tch! You stupid tre*sh b*tch! F*ck you! F*ck that b*tch! F*ck her…. She’s a f*cking tre*sh. A f*cking tre*sh.”
