Introduction
Kaitlyn Siragusa (born December 2, 1993), better known as Amouranth (/ˈæmərænθ/), is an American Internet celebrity, streamer, and adult content creator. Siragusa is also known for her ASMR Twitch livestreams.
Career
Siragusa was initially a cosplayer, appearing at character parties for children and doing hospital visits. In 2016, she was asked by streaming company Twitch to join as a content creator and livestream making costumes. She accepted, and by 2021, became the most popular female streamer on Twitch, known for her dancing, ASMR, and hot tub streaming content.
In May 2021 Siragusa reported that Twitch had cut her off from advertising revenue on the site without explanation. Twitch soon returned it but at a much reduced rate around a tenth compared to earlier.
On October 8, 2021, Siragusa was banned from Twitch for the fifth time, as well as Instagram and TikTok.
By July 2022, Siragusa was reported to have earned $33 million through OnlyFans. Siragusa also does cosplays, NSFW content, and often pairs in streams with other Twitch streamers.
In November 2021, Siragusa announced on her Twitter that she had bought a gas station, which she is renting out to a Circle K. In January 2022, she announced that she had also bought an inflatable pool toy company. In April 2022, she announced that she was quitting her OnlyFans and associated online activities to focus on Twitch by the end of June of that year. In July 2022, she announced she was starting a company matching personal assistants with content creators. In April 2023, she feuded with Twitch streamer and retired porn star Adriana Chechik, who criticized Amouranth's persona, with Amouranth responding by challenging Chechik to a boxing match.
Personal life
On October 15, 2022, Siragusa revealed on-stream that she had been married for several years, after her stream was interrupted by her husband, who could be heard verbally abusing her live on stream. Siragusa alleged that her husband controls her finances, coerced her to stream more than she was willing to, and threatened to kill her dogs if she did not obey his demands. A few days following the incident, Siragusa stated she was seeking legal and emotional counsel and had regained access to her finances and that her husband was out of her life and is seeking help.
In March 2023, Siragusa was diagnosed with ovarian failure, which she revealed during a video in June of the same year.
