A controversial YouTuber has lashed out at an Australian hospital staff for not treating him quickly enough as he writhed in pain on the floor or in the emergency room, and threatened to “sue Australia.”
American streamer Yousef Saleh Erakat, better known as Fousey, is known for his outrageous live antics and posted videos of himself lying on the floor of Liverpool Hospital in western Sydney, claiming he had a ruptured kidney.
“This hospital sucks,” he shouted in the live stream on his FouseyTube channel during the weekend.
‘Honestly, you’ve got a guy crying on the floor, are we just going to leave him there?’ What happens if I die because my kidney explodes? he shouted, as bewildered staff and patients looked on.
And you say ‘let’s go’ and I’m dead in your name.
“I hope I die so I can blame Australia forever and my parents can sue them for every damn dollar they’re worth.”
He was previously seen hunched over the patient consultation desk as hospital staff told him they would not accept his American Express card.
“Okay, I’ll give you another card, no big deal,” he said.
‘Just tell me that, I’ll give you a Visa. You guys worry too much about money before helping a client, that’s crazy.’
Fousey was seen collapsed on the floor of an Australian hospital during a live broadcast, fearing his kidney would rupture.
Yousef Erakat, 33, is known for his scandalous live broadcasts, but his behavior in the hospital left viewers baffled.
He then limped down the hospital hallway with two people helping him sit up as he groaned.
Then, one of the men told the streamer ‘you have to stay strong, I got you brother’ as the YouTuber leaned back in the chair.
He tried to encourage the streamer even more and offered him a fist bump.
‘I got you brother,’ the streamer shouted.
“Damn, I gave you a pound,” he said, ignoring the man’s fist.
Fousey sought help for a “bursting kidney” at Liverpool Hospital in Sydney’s west.
He later said it was the worst pain of his life, as a doctor said it could be caused by a kidney stone.
Last week, Fousey revealed his plans to play a concert to showcase the album he had been working on, as he looked to join the litany of YouTubers who have embarked on music careers.
He told an American car dealer that he would be in Sydney for four weeks while he shopped for a new Tesla and told him his plans for the event.
“I’m going to be the number one person in Sydney because I’m going to live there for four weeks,” he said.
‘And I’m going to be on the street every day. At the end of the four weeks I’m going to rent a concert hall… And I’m going to premiere my hit single.’
The YouTuber said his first days in the port city were tumultuous, as he revealed in a later video.
In a ten-minute Instagram video posted on Sunday, Fousey said his arrival in Sydney had been difficult.
He said he went days without sleep, suffered “internal” problems and kidney pain.
“I was streaming on my first day in Sydney… And while I was dancing, my kidneys, ‘boom,’ like it’s bad,” he said.
“I spent that night alone in the hospital and it was hard.”
Last year, he made headlines when Miami police officers burst into his hotel room and appeared to arrest him after he reported it to the police.
The YouTuber appeared to have streamed earlier footage showing law enforcement arriving at his accommodation.
He also previously filmed himself walking down a Miami highway, dodging cars.
In later footage, four officers are seen entering the hotel room, as Fousey, apparently distraught, tells them “there’s a stalker.”
In 2022, he fell spectacularly against fellow YouTuber Deji, Oladeji Olawale Olatunde Daniel Olatunji, in a boxing match.
Fousey’s corner took him out of the fight after a flurry of compact punches and crosses landed on his face.
The streamer has over 10 million subscribers on YouTube and is known for his comedy sketches and Kick streams.
Fousey has continually discussed her struggles with depression, porn addiction, anxiety, and bipolar disorder in her vlogs.
