The growing trend of confronting rival YouTubers at their homes took a turn on Friday night as controversial Yonkers, New York, based YouTuber Ely engaged in a fist fight with YouTuber EZ Camera outside of his house and ultimately was stabbed multiple times in front of his wife on a live stream.
Ely was taking part in the live panel on The People’s Podcast TV when he asked the panel for advice. He said that he was at home and that from time-to-time fans and clout chasers show up for autographs and pictures.
Tonight, he claimed that there was a fan outside his house who he had previously refused to promote. He said that his wife and son informed him that the man was screaming his son’s name and demanding that Ely come out of the house.
The People’s Podcast TV panel gave various views on the situation with dubious legal advice, before Ely said he could see the man, later identified as EZ Camera by Familia TV, supposedly had brass knuckles.
Ely brought up a second feed to the panel as his wife recorded the YouTuber leaving the house and as he was immediately jumped by EZ Camera. EZ Camera also had a friend live streaming the altercation.
The two men traded punches until Ely took EZ Camera to the ground and engaged in UFC style ground and pound. That’s when Ely’s wife’s camera stopped broadcasting. EZ Camera’s footage, as aired on Familia TV, showed that EZ Camera took a tremendous beating until he took out a knife and began stabbing Ely repeatedly.
EZ Camera got on top of Ely and continued to slash him until Ely’s wife pulled EZ Camera off of her husband. EZ Camera’s footage ended shortly after that.
Ely would later live stream from the hospital, now on a gurney and he began to show off what appeared to be extensive superficial cuts on his arms, elbows and shoulders, defensive wounds on his knuckles and larger stab wounds on his right arm that were covered in bandages.
When a nurse asked him to stop recording due to HIPAA rules, Ely told her to take his IVs and monitoring devices off as he was leaving. As he was dressing, said he lost a lot of blood on scene, and received several staples on his right arm but refused stitches for the rest of the wounds.
He refused to identify EZ Camera, as he didn’t want to give his rival YouTuber “clout” and signed his discharge papers before getting dressed and leaving the hospital. He was greeted by family members and neighbors, who he briefly identified, before ending his live stream.
It is unclear if police were involved in the incident, as EZ Camera live streamed the footage and it was eventually sent to Familia TV.
This is a breaking news story.
HIPAA, not HIPPA.
