Controversial Influencer Sneako Slammed to Ground During His Livestream in NYC [WATCH]

Controversial online personality Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, known as Sneako, was taken to the ground by a stranger while livestreaming in Manhattan on Tuesday, moments after making inflammatory remarks during a public rant, as reported by The New York Post.

The incident occurred in downtown Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon as Kenn De Balinthazy, 27, walked through the area broadcasting live to his audience.

During the stream, he made comments about male masturbation that drew immediate attention.

“[If] you put your life-force into a sock, yeah, you deserve to be publicly executed, yes,” he said.

Seconds later, an unidentified man wearing a beanie approached from behind, wrapped his arms around Kenn De Balinthazy’s neck, and pulled him to the ground in what appeared to be a chokehold.

The encounter was captured on the livestream itself.

The video shows a brief struggle between the two men. The scuffle continued off-camera for several seconds, during which both individuals could be heard exchanging expletives before separating and going their separate ways.

The clip quickly spread across social media platforms, though it appeared to be removed from the archived version of the livestream. The video’s circulation prompted reactions from both supporters and critics of the influencer.

Others reacted differently, with critics posting memes and comments mocking the influencer and expressing approval of the confrontation.

Kenn De Balinthazy has built a following of more than 1.3 million subscribers on YouTube and is often associated with online communities described as part of the “manosphere.”

The space includes figures such as Andrew Tate and others who have drawn scrutiny for controversial and polarizing views.

In a recent interview last week, Kenn De Balinthazy told The Post that his approach centers on expressing views he believes others are reluctant to say publicly.

He cited an example during that discussion, stating people “can’t say ‘Hitler had aura’ because they’ll get fired.”

His online content has included a range of positions, including statements opposing women’s voting rights and comments that have been described as antisemitic.

The livestream incident marks the latest controversy involving the influencer, whose public appearances and online broadcasts frequently generate strong reactions both online and in public settings.
