Twitch streamer Nina Lin has faced multiple controversies over the years. She is currently facing intense backlash after a viral video appeared to show her shoplifting during a live stream. The incident occurred on November 29, 2025. It has generated notable reactions from fans and the streaming community. Netizens are saying:

"It is like she is speedrunning being the most unlikeable streamer on the Internet recently, it's crazy, nothing but Ls"

The viral 52-second clip shows Nina Lin inside a Target store. She was using the self-checkout machine. In the footage, viewers noticed that she scanned a pack of butter, but a pack of steak was hidden beneath it, and it was not being scanned.

The steak was then placed in her shopping bag. It raised suspicions of theft among netizens. People flooded social platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok with accusations of shoplifting.
