Controversial Influencer Sneako Tackled During Livestream in NYC

Apr 16 2026

In a startling incident, controversial influencer Sneako found himself on the ground during a livestream in Manhattan on Tuesday. Just moments before the altercation, he had made a provocative claim that masturbation should be punishable by public execution.

The individual, known as Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, was walking through downtown when an unidentified man suddenly approached him, wrapping his arms around Sneako's neck and dragging him to the pavement in a chokehold, all captured live for his audience.

As the livestream continued, viewers witnessed the chaotic scene unfold. Prior to the attack, De Balinthazy had been passionately discussing his views on male masturbation, asserting that it deserved severe punishment. “If you put your life-force into a sock, yeah, you deserve to be publicly executed, yes,” he declared.

After a brief silence following his statement, the beanie-clad assailant launched his surprise attack. The two men exchanged heated words off-camera for several moments before parting ways.

“I’m fine; we got it handled,” De Balinthazy later posted on X, attempting to downplay the incident.

The clip of the confrontation quickly gained traction online, despite being removed from his archived livestream. Other figures within the so-called “manosphere” community reacted to the event, with one notable comment from Nick Fuentes, a controversial figure himself, who dismissed the attack as ineffective: “Sucker punch didn’t even land. What a coward.”

Meanwhile, critics flooded social media with memes mocking De Balinthazy and expressing support for his assailant. With over 1.3 million subscribers on YouTube, De Balinthazy is often viewed as a spokesperson for young misogynists within the toxic “manosphere,” which includes other polarizing personalities like Andrew Tate and Fuentes.

In a recent interview, De Balinthazy attributed his controversial success to his willingness to voice thoughts that many might keep to themselves, regardless of how offensive they may be. He bizarrely referenced societal taboos surrounding discussions of historical figures like Hitler, claiming that people avoid such statements for fear of repercussions.

His views extend beyond mere shock value; they include a range of repugnant beliefs, such as advocating against women's voting rights and promoting antisemitic rhetoric intertwined with his admiration for Nazi ideology.
