A controversial American YouTuber has threatened to “sue Australia” after staff at a Sydney hospital allegedly didn’t treat him fast enough.
Yousef Saleh Erakat, who goes by the online moniker of Fousey, posted a series of videos across social media in which he basically has a tantrum and yells at emergency staff.
The streamer seemingly rocked up to Liverpool Hospital in Western Sydney claiming that he had a “ruptured kidney”. In what was originally a livestream, Fousey documented himself rocking up to the hospital, crying from the pain in the middle of the emergency room and yelling at staff for not seeing him right away.
“This hospital sucks ass honestly,” he said.
“Honestly, you have a guy crying on the floor, and you just leave him there … What if I die from my kidney exploding?”
Although a staff member told him that they were coming to him soon, the 34-year-old wasn’t impressed.
“Free healthcare my ass,” he replied.
“I hope I die so I can blame Australia forever and my parents can sue them for every fucking dollar they’re worth.”
While I’m generally willing to give people the benefit of the doubt when they’re in pain, I still think it’s fair to say that Fousey acted like an absolute dickwad.
Don’t believe me? Check out the whole video below. It is sooooOooOOoo much worse.
When Fousey was eventually seen by busy hospital staff, doctors said his pain was most likely caused by a kidney stone.
“I’ve been through pain. I think I experienced literally what women feel when they’re giving birth and it was the worst pain ever. So women are stronger than men,” he said to a friend during the livestream.
“If they can handle a head coming out of their vagina, they’re stronger than men. I can’t handle a kidney stone but my mum can handle my head coming out of her? Come on now.”
Well, he may have acted like an ass but at least he’s right about that.
The YouTuber and wannabe rapper has come to Australia to launch an album he’s been working on.
“I’m going to be like the number one talk of Sydney because I’m going to live there for four weeks,” he said in another video.
“I’m going to be the number one talk of Sydney. And I’m going to be out in the streets every day. At the end of the four weeks, I’m going to rent out a concert hall … And I’m going to debut my hit single.”
Fousey last made headlines after he called the police on himself and claimed that someone was putting a gun to his head while he was livestreaming. He continued streaming as four police officers came into his hotel room and he claimed to have a stalker.
He also once filmed himself walking down a freeway whilst dodging incoming cars.
It sounds bonkers, but honestly, old mate has almost eight million followers on Instagram and two million on TikTok so I guess he’s doing something right.
