Arsenal Fan TV star Troopz is being berated by fans for ‘toxic’ behaviour, calling his wife ‘this damn woman’ in a furious tirade as she burst in during his live stream of their defeat to Man City
- Arsenal were beaten 4-1 by Man City in the Premier League on Wednesday
- Arsenal Fan TV personality Troopz hosted a live stream of the match online
- He launched into a ghastly rant against his wife after City were 1-0 up
Supporters have berated Arsenal Fan TV star Troopz after he launched into a furious rant against his wife during the Gunners’ 4-1 defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday.
Troopz, whose real name is Aumar Hamilton, made a name for himself during the early days of the channel when he was a vocal critic for Arsène Wenger.
He remains a regular presence regarding Arsenal affairs online, also works for US company Barstool Sports and last night led a live stream of the huge title fight.
Troopz, however, started a horrific rant against his wife after Kevin de Bruyne put Pep Guardiola’s team 1-0 after just seven minutes.
While reacting to the Belgian shot past Ramsdale, Troopz lost his cool and appeared to yell in his partner’s direction as he said, “No one, this damn woman walks in and they score.” Nah cut bruv, no I’m deadly serious, don’t smile at me.

‘I’m dead serious, leave the room. Leave the room. Don’t make fun of me, leave the room. To leave! To leave! Go away baby! Never mind not looking at it. How can you walk in here and they score?
‘What do you mean you’re going to look at it? No, go, go! You curse my team.’
Shockingly, Barstool Sports originally shared the clip with the caption, “TROOPZ HAS LOST IT WITH THE MISSUS,” accompanied by several laughing emojis, before later deleting the tweet.
Fans blasted both Troopz and Barstool when one of them said, “After over 2.4 million views of Troopz yelling at his wife because his team lost a game, Barstool has deleted the tweet where they found that incident hilarious .’
Another added, “That Troopz guy is mean. How dare he talk so rudely to his wife in that video just because Manchester City scored? And for anyone here who might find his appalling behavior amusing, talk to yourself.’
Barstool Sports – who Troopz works for – originally shared the video to ridicule his reaction
However, they later deleted the tweet after receiving a furious backlash from supporters
Other supporters were also quick to criticize Troopz for his “mean” behavior towards his wife
Another furious supporter said, “I understand it’s frustrating to see your team lose, but talking to your wife/partner like that is disgusting! Shame on troopz for this!’
Meanwhile, David Challen, who is an advocate for domestic violence, added: ‘Football does not cause domestic violence, but it can trigger existing abuse. Troopz’s abusive behavior towards his wife highlights how football can create a period of more intense control and fear, exacerbating an existing problem.”
He continued, “This behavior is not normal, acceptable, nor should it be seen as entertainment that should be live-streamed to countless young men and boys who watch his content. There is no place in society for this behavior. It’s offensive and controlling.
‘The young son of Troopz was also in the room and verbally attacked because his team conceded another goal. So not only did his son witness his mother being abused, he did too. Children themselves are victims of domestic violence. This is terrible.’
David Challen, a domestic violence campaigner, also heavily criticized the behavior, highlighting the impact football can have on provoking existing abuse in relationships

The problem of domestic violence while watching football has increased recently.
In December, researchers at Warwick Business School found that domestic violence increased by 47 percent the day England’s men’s football team won a World Cup or European Championship match.
Their research found that levels of domestic violence were also higher than average the day after a tournament win, with a significant number of cases being caused by alcohol.
Organizations emphasize how alcohol or major tournaments do not cause or justify domestic violence, but often exacerbate pre-existing patterns and provide perpetrators with the opportunity to relapse into assault.
