IShowSpeed Faces Rizzbot Damage Lawsuit
Popular creator IShowSpeed is facing a lawsuit over Rizzbot damage. In September, he livestreamed a meeting with the viral humanoid influencer, Rizzbot. The robot has over a million followers and 800 million views, known for its comedic roasts.
Speed, with 50 million followers and six billion views, is known for dramatic livestreams. However, the meeting ended badly. According to a November petition, Speed allegedly punched and choked Rizzbot, pinned it to a couch, and threw it to the ground.
The lawsuit claims these actions caused total Rizzbot damage. The robot reportedly lost head camera function, sensor ports, and walking stability. The creators, Social Robotics, seek compensation for lost profits and damages.
Consequences and Legal Response
Austin Police were called after the incident. Officers noted the damage occurred without the owner’s consent. Social Robotics’ lawyer, Joel Levine, said talks with Speed’s team failed, prompting the lawsuit.
This livestreamed event shows the facts clearly, Levine said. We want accountability. Rizzbot missed several high-profile deals, including appearances with CBS’s The NFL Today and MrBeast. Viewership dropped over 70% after the incident, causing significant financial setbacks.
Rizzbot recently confirmed it received a new body. “Everything’s brand new except my Nike kicks and cowboy hat,” Rizzbot said. Now I’m back online and ready for new content, including complex leg movements and TV appearances.
