Live-streamer sued for $1M for beating up 'gay robot'

iShowSpeed is being sued by Social Robotics for $1 million in monetary damages, in a new lawsuit seen by Futurism, following a physical altercation between the streamer and the robot.
Darren Jason Watkins, aka iShowSpeed, became “angry and agitated,” and then “intentionally assaulted” the bot until it broke, the lawsuit seen by media alleges.
The moment was caught on iShowSpeed’s livestream, which shows Watkins throwing insults at the robot before putting it in a headlock and then punching it multiple times in the head.
The streamer threatened to knock the robot’s “head off (its) shoulders” before punching it straight in its face.
“Stop playing with me,” iShowSpeed threatens as sweat cascades down his face.
Social Robotics, the company behind the “Rizzbot,” has since filed a lawsuit against iShowSpeed claiming monetary damages.
