Nina Lin, a well-known Twitch and TikTok streamer, is facing new trouble after a clip from her November 29, 2025, livestream went viral. The short 52-second video began spreading on X on November 30, 2025. In the clip, she is at a Target store using the self-checkout machine. She has a pack of steak and a pack of butter in her hands. The on-screen text in the video says she scanned only the butter barcode but not the steak. After that, she put both items in her bag. The video was shared by X user @NotUlxa, who said she was “caught shoplifting live on stream.” Many people picked up the clip and shared it across the platform.Online users reacted fast. Some people said this is the kind of moment that should lead to a ban on Twitch. One person said Target must press charges first for Twitch to take action. Another person wrote that they do not understand how someone can “shoplift on stream with chat watching everything.” A few others said this is why theft is common at self-checkout machines. Many users asked Twitch to give her a permanent ban. As of now, Nina Lin has not made any statement about the shoplifting claims.

This shoplifting claim comes right after another viral video of Nina Lin. In that earlier video, she talked about why she was not in a relationship. She told her viewers that if she liked someone, she would “go to jail,” and said that “by any means, anything will happen” when she loves someone. The clip spread quickly across X and made many people confused and surprised.Soon after this, streamer John “Tectone” reacted to her video. He called her a “transgender dude who openly SA’d two guys on stream.” His comment added even more drama because Nina Lin was already facing anger from many people online. She had also gone viral before for a moment where viewers said she crossed a line with two male streamers during a past IRL stream. Those clips led to debates about consent and Twitch rules.Now, the shoplifting clip has restarted the conversation around her behavior. Many people think the new video shows a pattern. Others say she is only being accused right now because she has not answered the claims.Also Read: Candace Owens And Charlie Kirk Controversy Explained: Inside Her Statements On Erika Kirk, Emmanuel Macron And Mystery Around His Death
