Porn legend-turned-Twitch star Adriana Chechik has revealed that she’s being so badly swatted, she’s going to have to move house. On Saturday, the adult entertainer issued a damning rebuke of “beyond childish” pranksters, who have been blighting her life for months. In a furious tweet, Chechik, 31, explained that the emergency services had been called to her house on 12 separate occasions, as she urged the culprits to “grow up”. “Y’all suck so hard. I’m gonna have to move with this swatting sh*t,” she wrote.

It involves a troll finding out their victim’s address or location and then making a hoax phone call to the emergency services, claiming that there’s extreme violence taking place there. The idea is to make the lie sound as urgent and threatening as possible to prompt an armed response – hence “SWAT”. The perpetrator then keeps their fingers crossed that the police will raid the home during the streamer’s broadcast so that they can watch the dramatic action unfold live on camera. And whilst some would argue that swatting is just an elaborate prank, most will tell you it is, in fact, a dangerous crime that puts lives at risk. In one high-profile instance back in 2019, a teenage Call of Duty player swatted an opponent after losing a game. Police showed up at the wrong address, then shot and killed a totally innocent father-of-two. It is also, as Chechik pointed out in her tweet, a complete waste of the emergency services’ time, that should be dedicated to legitimate crises. One of the most horrific aspects of the 31-year-old’s plight is that she was attacked by swatters even as she recovered from a near-life-threatening injury. In October last year, she broke her back in two places after jumping into a foam pit at TwitchCon, San Diego, which left her facing months of surgery and gruelling rehabilitation. She also lost her unborn child as a result of the accident – later revealing that, unbeknownst to her, she was pregnant at the time. And yet, some of her followers – who seem unfamiliar with the very concept of human decency – decided it would be fun to ambush her. In December, as Chechik lay bedbound, she tweeted: “Tell me how some internet trolls are gonna swat a person whose back is still healing from being broken. Some twitch chatters are a whole different breed of small d**k idiots. “The cops know me now. We legit talk about our life because this happens so much.” Based on her latest complaint, the situation has only escalated since then. But, at least, she suggested action is being taken to find those responsible. One of her fans responded to her tweet, saying: “Moving I think would only give you a brief respite from the bampots, and then it would start again. Time to get a lawyer and PI involved and start to sue the c**p out of both the city for having inadequate response to being repeat called and the people calling them on you.” Chechik replied simply: “[Already on it!!]” Of course, this is not a game, but we hope she nails those swatters once and for all.

Singer Dua Lipa stole the show with a very NSFW dress at the premiere of the Barbie movie in Los Angeles. On Sunday night, celebrities from across the entertainment industry gathered to celebrate the hotly-anticipated film, with everyone from Gal Gadot to Issa Rae taking to the pink carpet. Pop star Dua Lipa was in attendance having performed a song on the film’s soundtrack and making her acting debut with a small role as Mermaid Barbie. The three-time Grammy winner certainly caught the eye with her revealing outfit as she wore a sheer, floor-length silver chain mail Bottega Veneta gown with no bra and a white thong. She accessorised the dress with jewellery from Tiffany’s and a pair of silver Bottega Veneta rocket mules. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter In an interview with Dazed, Dua Lipa said she had been wanting to work with the director Greta Gerwig for a long time, because her films “never really feel like the male gaze. They have very interesting female protagonists”. She continued: “The film ― and there’s a lot of diversity in the cast ― is touching exactly on the buttons that maybe it presses, and shows a different story.” Dua Lipa also explained the film’s soundtrack is inspired by disco, adding, “There’s a lot of very glittery and pop moments in it”. And, her small role in the Barbie movie appears to be the first of her new acting venture as the singer has also secured a part in the spy-thriller movie Argylle, also featuring Henry Cavill and Bryce Dallas Howard.
