An explosive incident between rising OnlyFans model Sam Frank and controversial YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy is gaining renewed attention months after it was caught live on camera. The confrontation, which took place at a California party hosted by influencer and gym owner Bradley Martyn in January, has evolved from viral internet drama into a full-blown legal battle.

Frank, who is dating Kick streamer N3on (real name Rangesh Mutama), was seen aggressively confronting Vitaly before spitting in his face — a moment that not only went viral but also triggered police involvement.

What started as a seemingly minor clash during a livestream has snowballed into a case with potential criminal implications under California law. And with mentions of law enforcement in both the United States and the Philippines, the story is becoming more bizarre by the day.

The Scuffle That Sparked a Storm

The altercation unfolded during a livestreamed social event. Vitaly, known for provocative public stunts, approached N3on with printed photos in hand, apparently seeking a signature or reaction for content.

Sam Frank, visibly annoyed by the unexpected interaction, intervened in an increasingly hostile manner. She can be seen shouting, 'What the f*** is wrong with you? Do you want to start a problem?' before spitting directly into Vitaly's face.

The moment, broadcast live to thousands of viewers, spread rapidly across social media platforms. The incident quickly polarised viewers. Some framed it as a spontaneous act of self-defence or frustration, while others labelled it as outright assault.

Vitaly's Response: No Laughing Matter

For Vitaly, the incident was no prank. In a video statement shortly after the confrontation, he confirmed he had filed a police report and intended to press charges.

'We are not giving up until action has been taken,' he declared. While many assumed the controversy would fade like countless other influencer spats, Vitaly's determination to pursue legal accountability has kept the matter alive.

Things took a stranger turn when Vitaly mentioned that he had also contacted authorities in Manila, raising eyebrows about whether he had attempted to file complaints internationally. While details remain unclear, he insisted that local California police were involved and that detectives were reviewing the footage.

Under California penal code, spitting in someone's face — particularly in a threatening manner — may legally qualify as battery. Vitaly made it clear that, from his perspective, the law had been broken.

A Tangle of Influencer Egos and Legal Consequences

Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, 31, is no stranger to controversy. He gained notoriety for his pranks and viral antics on YouTube, including streaking at major sporting events, and has been banned from several social media platforms.

Sam Frank, meanwhile, is building a brand through adult content and her high-profile relationship with N3on. She has been involved in other controversial moments, including slapping a fan during a previous livestream.

N3on appeared caught off guard during the incident. Although he attempted to de-escalate tensions, his efforts did little to stop the online firestorm that followed.

In the aftermath, Frank issued a brief apology on camera: 'I'm sorry, King Vitaly... I'll end up in jail, and that's unnecessary.' However, Vitaly was unmoved. Not only did he confirm that he had proceeded with filing charges, but he also issued a chilling warning: 'She better sleep with one eye open.' The threat sparked further backlash, with some viewers accusing him of escalating matters beyond reason.

Internet Divided and Legal Stakes Rising

Reactions from the online community were split. While some sympathised with Frank and argued that Vitaly had provoked her, others felt that spitting was unacceptable and justified legal consequences. Fellow streamer Jack Doherty criticised Vitaly, calling him a "b***h" for seeking police intervention, accusing him of hypocrisy given his history of pranks.

Legal analysts noted that with such clear video evidence, prosecutors may be more inclined to take action. There is no ambiguity or dispute about what happened — it played out in real time for a global audience.

What Happens Next?

As of now, no court date or arrest has been made public, but Vitaly has insisted that legal proceedings are moving forward. Whether the odd mention of Manila has any legal significance remains uncertain. What is clear, however, is that under California law, the case has enough weight to be taken seriously.

In a time when social media conflicts can turn into courtroom dramas, this incident stands as a cautionary tale for influencers who believe that viral moments are without real-world consequences.
