Who is Dean Withers? Streamer accused of doxing another streamer and calling CPS in viral controversy
The internet is once again on fire, and this time, it's over Dean Withers. The streamer has landed in hot water after being accused of doxing and allegedly making a CPS (Child Protective Services) call on another creator.
Social media timelines are messy, fans are divided, and clips are flying around everywhere. So, what really happened?
Who is Dean Withers?
If you're deep into Twitch or YouTube drama, you've probably come across Dean Withers. He's a relatively smaller content creator but has built a reputation in certain online circles for his reaction streams and hot takes. But recently, things spiraled way beyond debates and content—it got
personal
.
It Started With an Argument
Things kicked off when Dean got into an online beef with another creator. Dean was accused of going beyond the platform drama and leaking personal information—aka doxing.
One clip circulating shows Dean allegedly reading out names and partial addresses. Although he never showed full details, people were quick to call it intentional.
Then Came the CPS Call Allegations
This is where it gets serious. Multiple creators online claimed that Dean may have been involved in filing a CPS report on the other creator he was feuding with.

No official documents have surfaced yet, but leaked DMs and voice clips suggest that someone close to Dean—or possibly Dean himself—made the call.
Naturally, the internet lost it. Doxing is one thing. But dragging Child Protective Services into a content spat? That's a whole new level of low.
Dean Responds... and Makes It Worse?
Instead of laying low or addressing the matter seriously, Dean went
full sarcasm mode
. In a stream, he joked about how people
'can't take a little internet sleuthing'
and said the CPS situation was
'just a prank, bro.'
Fans weren't laughing. Clips of his mockery started spreading fast, and even creators who previously supported him started pulling back.
Internet's Reaction: Split But Loud
The community is divided. Some say there's no hard proof of Dean actually making the CPS call, and that everyone's overreacting. Others believe even entertaining the idea—especially in a joking tone—is already crossing a line.
Reddit threads, X/Twitter spaces, YouTube callouts—Dean is everywhere right now. And whether you think he messed up or not, it's clear that the trust is broken.

IND vs ENG 3rd Test: Six minutes of drama! Why a fired-up Shubman Gill lost his cool at Lord's
Zak Crawley and Shubman Gill in London: A hundred, two gritty half-centuries, an excellent run-out and a fiery spell with the ball was not enough as it was six minutes of unadulterated drama in the dying stages of Day 3 which brought the Lord's to life. A fired-up India captain Shubman Gill was in England opener Zak Crawley 's face and had almost every Indian player converging towards the pitch during that moment. The umpires intervened to cool things down but the damage had been done. Gill had enough of the theatrics and the call for the physio was the moment he exploded. After a round of applause, he charged towards Crawley and did an impact player signal, and also fired some not so pleasant statements with aggressive hand gestures. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The stump mic was alert enough to pick up the four words which went viral on social media. "Show some fu*g b**s," yelled Gill as the right-hander did all he could to deny India an over from the pavilion end. He succeeded and Jasprit Bumrah , equally annoyed, stood on top of his run-up for the final delivery of the day's play. He bowled an absolute peach but Crawley survived. The opener immediately turned back and was brisk walking to the dressing room as the umpires flipped the bails to signal end of day's play. A good old fashioned Day 3 got a spicy finish and has now set-up the remaining two days, and the series very nicely. The series hasn't had any dramatic moment yet and the episode on the third day could well fire up proceedings, and lend some flavor and colour to action. Both camps were asked about the final over and KL Rahul understood why Crawley was doing what he did, and also explained why Gill was so fired in those few minutes. Poll Do you believe this incident will ignite more drama in the remaining matches? Definitely Maybe Unlikely "I am an opener so I can understand what he was doing but Shubman Gill was fired up because we wanted to bowl two overs in the six minutes before stumps. Lot of theatrics and everyone was fired up," said Rahul at post-day presser. From the hosts camp, Tim Southee, part of the coaching set-up, felt this is part and parcel of the game, and reiterated both sides have played in the right spirit in the series so far.

‘Metro... In Dino' Box Office collection day 9: Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Pankaj Tripathi's film sees BIG jump on second Saturday; earns over Rs 33 crore
Anurag Basu's new film 'Metro... In Dino' is taking moviegoers back into the lanes of love, heartbreak and hope, all set in the middle of a busy city. Released on 4th July, this film brings together a big bunch of actors we all know and love. From Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur to Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi , Konkona Sen Sharma , Ali Fazal, Anupam Kher and Fatima Sana Shaikh. Many have called it a sort of spiritual sequel to Basu's popular 2007 film 'Life... In A Metro'. This time, too, he gives us a slice-of-life story that looks at different people and their tangled relationships. The film's box office run started off calm but picked up pace. On day 9, the film's collection saw a big jump. A decent start at the box office According to Sacnilk, 'Metro... Dino' got off to a decent start in cinemas. In its first seven days, the film collected an estimated Rs 26.85 crore in India. On its opening Friday, it made Rs 3.5 crore. Saturday brought in better numbers with Rs 6 crore, and by Sunday, it reached its first peak of Rs 7.25 crore. As the weekdays rolled in, the film's earnings dipped a little, which is common for most films. Monday saw Rs 2.5 crore, Tuesday grew slightly to Rs 3 crore, followed by Rs 2.35 crore on Wednesday and Rs 2.25 crore on Thursday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Đây có thể là thời điểm tốt nhất để giao dịch vàng trong 5 năm qua IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo By the end of its first week, the film was close to Rs 27 crore. Big Saturday boost on day 9 Day 8, which was a Friday again, showed early estimates of Rs 2.25 crore. But on day 9, according to early estimates by Sacnilk, the film saw a surge in collection and minted around Rs 4.65 crore on Saturday. This took its total to an impressive Rs 33.85 crore. This jump on the second Saturday has come as a pleasant surprise and shows that audiences are warming up to the film more and more. Day 9 occupancy The occupancy in theatres on Saturday, 12th July, also showed how many people stepped out to watch the film. Overall, 'Metro... In Dino' had a 44.84% Hindi occupancy that day. The morning shows had around 18.63% seats filled. This went up sharply in the afternoon shows to 47.86%. By evening, it was even better at 56.28%, and night shows did the best with 56.59% occupancy. 'Metro... In Dino' review 'The Times of India' gave the film a fair review, pointing out both the good and the not-so-good bits. The review read, "Despite being largely pleasant, some tracks don't quite add up, feel uneven and don't know where to end. After an engaging build up, the second half feels a tad stretched. You also wish the story scratched the surface a little more, especially for Konkona-Neena Gupta track, where the actors have the potential and gravitas to dig deeper. " However, the review also praised the film for giving Bollywood something it's been missing lately. It said, "There has been a scarcity of love stories in Bollywood and Metro In Dino, elevated by some fine performances, fills that gap perfectly. It is a breezy, intimate watch tailor-made for a rainy day."

Aaron Rodgers' touching reunion with ‘family' member steals spotlight from celebrity golf event
Aaron Rodgers' touching reunion with 'family' member (Getty Images) As Aaron Rodgers inches closer to the twilight of his NFL career, the four-time MVP has shown that some bonds matter far more than stats or accolades. Amid a break before training camp, Rodgers made his way to the scenic setting of Lake Tahoe to participate in the annual American Century Championship, a celebrity golf tournament that's as much about connection as competition. Aaron Rodgers finds solace in unexpected bond with his 'Lake Tahoe Grandma' While Rodgers' estrangement from parts of his biological family has long been known, his affectionate reunion with a woman he fondly calls his 'Lake Tahoe grandma' turned heads for all the right reasons. The 41-year-old quarterback greeted Carol Sargent, his longtime friend, with a warm embrace and a genuine smile—offering a rare glimpse into the emotional side of the famously private athlete. Their story began nearly two decades ago when Sargent introduced herself to Rodgers at the same tournament. 'Favorite part of the year. Because we've made a really nice friendship, and we appreciate each other and nice to catch up,' Sargent told Daily Mail, highlighting the significance of their enduring bond. Despite not being related by blood, Sargent and Rodgers have shared a relationship that is deeply rooted in mutual respect and admiration. 'He's a wonderful person, so I feel very fortunate,' she continued. 'It's just been a wonderful friendship. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 기미, 레이저말고 이렇게 해보세요 에스테틱최원장 Undo He's thoughtful, he's caring. He is extremely intelligent. He is a warm, wonderful person. He has his opinions and he's free to express them – which is what he should be able to do. And [he is] a great friend. A great, great friend.' In a world where headlines around Rodgers often revolve around controversy or on-field drama, his heartwarming interaction with Sargent felt refreshingly authentic. The quarterback, typically stoic and guarded in public, was visibly relaxed and cheerful—far removed from the often intense figure seen on game days.
