Frogan removes all twitch videos and clips amid viral legal dispute with Ethan Klein
In a surprising turn of events, Twitch streamer Frogan appears to have wiped her entire video archive following a lawsuit filed by YouTuber Ethan Klein. The sudden move comes in the wake of Klein's legal action against three creators, accusing them of copyright infringement linked to his viral 'Content Nuke' video.
What Sparked the Lawsuit?
On June 19, Ethan Klein publicly confirmed he is suing three Twitch streamers—Frogan, Kaceytron, and Denims—for what he claims is blatant copyright infringement.
At the center of the dispute is Klein's "Content Nuke" video, a critical breakdown of fellow creator HasanAbi. Klein alleges that the streamers used his video without proper commentary or transformation, violating fair use laws.
Frogan, a political content creator known for her sharp takes and Twitch debates, was specifically called out by Klein for offering minimal input during her reaction streams.
He also accused her of encouraging viewers to 'watch through her,' implying a deliberate attempt to divert traffic away from the original video.
Frogan Reportedly Deleted All of Her Twitch Clips
Shortly after the lawsuit became public knowledge, Frogan's Twitch channel underwent a drastic transformation. Viewers noticed that nearly all of her past VODs and clips had vanished.
The only piece of content left standing was a now-viral clip of AI HasanAbi telling Frogan her therapy sessions weren't working—an odd remnant amidst the digital purge.

Frogan hasn't issued a formal statement addressing the lawsuit or her decision to delete her content. Her silence stands in contrast to fellow defendant Denims, who has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help cover legal fees.

Ethan Klein's Case Against Frogan
Klein didn't hold back when explaining why Frogan is among the specific individuals targeted in his legal action.
In a recent video, he highlighted a moment where Frogan left his video running while stepping out of frame, adding no commentary or value to the original work.
He argued that such behavior fails the 'transformative' test required for fair use protection.
He also mentioned that Frogan's own viewers criticized her lack of engagement during the stream. For Klein, the final straw came when Frogan allegedly encouraged others to view his content 'through her,' framing it as ethical consumption.
According to him, this move indicated an intentional effort to divert viewership, what he calls 'malicious intent to steal.'
What's Next?
With over 66,000 followers and an average of nearly 100 viewers per stream, Frogan's Twitch career is now under intense scrutiny.
Whether her mass deletion was legal damage control or an emotional response remains unknown. For now, her content void speaks louder than any tweet.
Ethan Klein's legal claims are likely to ignite broader discussions around the ethics of 'react content,' fair use, and where creators should draw the line. And while some fans stand divided, one thing's for sure—the drama's far from over.

Start the week with a film: Revisiting ‘Shakti', the other Ramesh Sippy classic
Ramesh Sippy's Sholay turned 50 on August 15. A mid-century after the vengeance drama's release, fans continue to marvel at its technical mastery, iconic characters, Sippy's eye for both intimate moments and grand spectacle. Lines from Salim-Javed's screenplay are still being quoted in conversation. But as filmmaker Atul Sabharwal pointed out in his excellent essay for Scroll, Sholay was something of a paradox – a peak that its director didn't always scale in his subsequent films; a blockbuster whose inventiveness was lost to the Hindi film industry. Sippy's follow-up to Sholay was the underwhelming Shaan (1980). In 1982, Sippy changed course, making a film that ignored the scale of Sholay and Shaan by turning inwards. Shakti is a compelling character study of an upright police officer and his wayward son. Starring Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan, the film was written by Salim-Javed and loosely inspired by the Tamil movie Thangappathakkam (1974). As a child, Vijay is kidnapped by the smugglers JK (Amrish Puri) and Narang (Kulbhushan Kharbanda). Vijay's father Ashwini Kumar (Dilip Kumar) refuses to release one of JK's men in exchange for Vijay. The boy learns about this. Although Vijay escapes from his abductors, his father's perceived treachery scars him. The grown-up Vijay's idea of revenge is to work with Narang, which saddens Ashwini. Caught between the righteous Ashwini and the rebellious Vijay (Bachchan) is Vijay's mother Sheetal (Raakhee). Vijay leaves home and moves in with the singer Roma (Smita Patil). Vijay keeps crossing paths with Ashwini, this time as a criminal. Sippy's film is remarkable in its measured handling of the moral dilemmas faces by its principal characters. The crime aspect of the plot – JK's later rivalry with Narang, the mission to capture JK – is a sideshow in the contest for Vijay's soul. Shakti is available on YouTube, ZEE5 and Prime Video. Sippy prevents Shakti from being a re-tread of Deewar (1975) and Trishul (1978), which feature Bachchan as the anti-hero Vijay who takes to crime to avenge personal slights. The Vijay of Shakti is a different animal. This Vijay is insecure, self-centred, a bundle of resentment. Even when Vijay does declaim, it's in a lower register. He argues with his parents, but nobody has the last word. Vijay's rage is tempered by the knowledge that Ashwini and Sheetal are right too. Vijay's diffidence comes out most vividly when he meets Roma. An elaboration of the wise woman of the night played by Parveen Babi in Deewar, Roma isn't shy about her feelings for Vijay. They meet in a train one night. Vijay rescues Roma from a bunch of goons – a sequence that Mani Ratnam lifted for his film Agni Natchathiram (1988). Vijay walks Roma home. His bravado has clearly disappeared. Why don't you come in, I make good coffee, she says. Some other time, Vijay bashfully replies. There's no judgement about Roma, who is as much of an outlier as Vijay. She happens to live by herself and when she invites Vijay to move in, that's that. Their ardour results in the sensuous RD Burman song Jaane Kaise Kab Kahan. Vijay comes alive when battling Ashwini. In the bristling confrontations between the characters, the thespian sails past the younger actor in terms of dialogue delivery and emotional depth. Shakti is a rare detour in Bachchan's Angry Young Man phase. Sippy treats Bachchan as a character, rather than an archetype. Yet, Bachchan appears visibly unsure of how to tackle Vijay's ambivalence. Dilip Kumar, having already played his fair share of troubled men, has no such inhibitions. A couple of scenes are evocative of Mughal-e-Azam (1960), in which Dilip Kumar's Salim has a showdown with his own father, the emperor Akbar (Prithviraj Kapoor) that begins with loud words and ends in tears. Dilip Kumar is strongly complemented by Raakhee, who is terrific as his spouse. Sheetal is not a weepy bystander but a spirited woman who speaks her mind. Smita Patil too has several lovely scenes. Compared to Sholay, Shakti is plainly filmed. There are none of the visual pyrotechnics of that Indian Western, no moments consciously designed to draw whistles. Instead, there are searching moments of poignancy and emotional truth as a family tries to balance duty with individual goals, a commitment to righteousness with a young man's lingering sense of betrayal. Sippy was often faced with the question 'What after Sholay?' Shakti, that's what.

'Wanted To Be Friends With Apoorva Mukhija, Not Rebel Kid': Sufi Motiwala Breaks Silence On Broken Bond
Last Updated: Sufi Motiwala said Apoorva Mukhija has not defended him against her fans who keep trolling him. Social media influencer Sufi Motiwala was one of the faces on Karan Johar's reality show, The Traitors. Premiered on Prime Video, the show brought together an ensemble cast of renowned personalities from the fields of film, TV and the internet. Through his participation in the reality show, Sufi forged a close bond with influencer and actress Apoorva Mukhija, also known as The Rebel Kid. However, their friendship has now come to an end. Sufi took to his Instagram Stories and wrote, 'No more lies. I've received a lot of texts saying that I've taken clout from Apoorva, and I've left her. I've literally never collaborated on a reel with her and have been on her YouTube twice, both of which were her content pieces entirely." He added, 'So no I'm not sorry I didn't use her for clout (incase u forgot we were on the same show without knowing each other I don't need her clout) I wanted to be friends with Apoorva not the rebel kid when there was no accountability constantly for how I was being treated I distanced myself." He said, 'I even requested her to ask her audience to calm down because they've been abusing me for no reason. Sadly, this person who called me her best friend has no concern for that, or the fact that maybe I'm hurt. THAT is why I'm not friends with her anymore. Keep it cute, keep it moving." He concluded, 'Idc about anything u think I'm a horrible person, ok. But I have worked my a** off to build myself to where I am, and I won't let a bunch of children discredit that by spreading misinformation." Sufi and Apoorva became fast friends during the show's shoot and the internet loved their friendship. However, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Sufi and Apoorva no longer mention each other on social media despite attending the same events, including one in Australia. In fact, Sufi has even unfollowed Apoorva on Instagram. Meanwhile, Apoorva is yet to react to Sufi's Story. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Terence Stamp, actor known for 'Superman' villain General Zod, dies at 87: Inside his personal life with 35-year younger Elizabeth O'Rourke
Legendary British actor Terence Stamp , famously known for his unforgettable role as General Zod in Superman and Superman II, has passed away. His family announced the death of the actor on August 17, with a statement that said, 'He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer, that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come. ' He was 87. Born in London in 1938, Stamp rose from humble beginnings to become a style icon and dramatic powerhouse. Stamp's career spanned six decades, earning accolades for work in Billy Budd, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and beyond. However, apart from his decorated acting career, Stamp's personal life, too, attracted significant attention, thanks to his whirlwind romance and a brief marriage to Elizabeth O'Rourke. An unusual romance and a brief marriage: Elizabeth O'Rourke Terence Stamp met Elizabeth O'Rourke while visiting a Bondi pharmacy in the mid-1990s. Back then, O'Rourke was an Australian pharmacy student at a chemist shop in Bondi, New South Wales. On New Year's Eve 2002, Stamp married for the first and only time at age 64, to O'Rourke. What drew attention to his marriage in his 60s was the bride's age; O'Rourke was just 29! Their 35-year age gap drew attention, but the actor's charm and persistence prevailed, and they married in a private ceremony. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo However, the marriage was short-lived and ended only six years later. O'Rourke filed for divorce in April 2008, citing Stamp's 'unreasonable behaviour.' According to reports, Stamp did not contest the claim. In later reflections, Stamp fondly remembered their time together, calling it 'incredible fun.' The couple had no children, but Stamp often spoke lovingly of his nieces' children, describing his bond with them as akin to that of a grandfather. Terence Stamp: The life, the career, and the legacy Born in 1938, in Stepney, East London, Terence Henry Stamp grew up during the Blitz as the eldest of five children to a tugboat stoker father and a homemaker mother. He earned a scholarship to the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, launching his dramatic career on stage. His film debut came in Billy Budd (1962), earning him an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer. Stamp became a cultural figure of the Swinging Sixties, linked romantically with model Jean Shrimpton and actress Julie Christie. He even inspired The Kinks' hit 'Waterloo Sunset' for his brief relationship with Christie. After a slower period in the 1970s, Stamp's career rebounded in a spiritual way. He spent time in India embracing yoga philosophy, an internal transformation that helped him reimagine himself as a character actor willing to take bold roles. General Zod and beyond: Crafting iconic villains with nuance Stamp will forever be remembered for bringing depth, charisma, and menace to General Zod in Superman (1978) and Superman II (1980). This portrayal reshaped how villains were depicted in superhero films. Stamp wasn't just an action star. Beyond Zod, the 'master of the brooding silence' demonstrated his emotional range as Bernadette Bassenger, a trans woman, in the cult classic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994). The role earned him BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations. His filmography spans decades and genres. His later career included acclaimed performances in films like The Limey (1999), earning an Independent Spirit Award nomination, and memorable roles in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Valkyrie, Last Night in Soho, and more.
