An Ocala man who livestreams video game content on Twitch and YouTube says that video of him pushing his pregnant wife, which has been viewed millions of times in the days since it was broadcast, is being misconstrued into false accusations of domestic violence.
The video of Jordan Sisco and his wife has been circulating across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram for the past week. In it, the couple is seen discussing a Ghost energy drink that spilled on Sisco’s personal computer (P.C.). Property records show the couple, who has been together for several years, has been associated with addresses in Inverness and southwest Ocala in the past.
In the original video of the incident, the livestream of which has since been removed by Sisco, the livestreamer’s wife can be heard speaking from a position next to the desk, outside of the view of the camera.
“Okay take these off. Take the lids off, chill. You need to have no drinks in here,” says Sisco’s wife. While his wife continues to speak, Sisco can be seen moving quickly and striking something out of the view of the camera.
At the exact moment that Sisco moves out of frame, his wife can be heard saying “ow” twice. At the same time, Sisco makes two audible grunts.
The video goes quiet for a few seconds before Sisco’s wife asks why he brought the drink in the room. Her voice is now audibly muffled.
Sisco responds that the drink was “in here, on this,” while slapping the desk multiple times. As he continues to escalate his reaction, his wife can be heard shushing him and telling him to “calm down.”
At that point, Sisco looks directly at the livestream equipment on the desk and his wife says to “turn that thing off.” As he reaches for the mouse, he says “I don’t know what to do” and repeats the phrase. His wife repeats “turn your thing off” and “turn your fan off” before the stream ends.
After the incident, despite Sisco’s attempts to explain the situation for his viewers and scrub the video content, several large YouTube and Twitch channels shared reaction videos showing the original footage.
One of those videos, which was created by popular YouTube streamer Penguinz0 (a.k.a, Charles Christopher White, Jr.), has received more than four million views. In that 15-minute video, White, who is one of the largest social media influencers in the world, comments on several clips that illustrate some of Sisco’s behavior over the years. Those clips show Sisco punching and smashing his equipment, screaming, and making threats at other gamers.
In another since-deleted video, Sisco tries to explain the circumstances that led to the incident. According to Sisco, his energy drink spilled on his P.C. while his wife was in the shower. He claims he went to the bathroom to retrieve a towel and his wife came in after him.
“I come in here, then she comes in running after me, then I pick up the P.C.,” says Sisco. In the video, he then asks his wife to come into the room and help him record his response. As she enters the room, he stops to address the incident in front of his wife.
“Before I’m talking about everything else, like, if I ever did hit her – which is insane, I would never hit my wife, and she’s pregnant – she would have stuff on her face. You know, I don’t know what else to say,” says Sisco. His wife then displays herself to the camera to demonstrate that she is unblemished.
Although Ocala-News.com was unable to obtain this original livestream response, in a separate reaction video of the livestream by AaronTheLoco (a.k.a., Aaron Tenner), Sisco’s wife can be seen with a noticeable blemish near her eye.
Sisco goes on to explain that he was lifting one of his computers and placing it on top of another and that the motion that occurred off screen did not involve him hitting his wife. He says that as he placed the computer down, his wife said “ow” because the device had been placed on her fingers.
“Nobody saw anything, like it was insane. Man saw me use one arm motion and thought I hit her. It’s insane. She had her fingers right here,” says Sisco as he motions to the computer set up. “I pushed her and she literally was saying ‘ow’ because…the [expletive] was on her fingers. It was literally on her fingers. I don’t know how much this weighs, but it was on her fingers like this.”
Later in the livestream, Sisco insists that his wife is not abused and that the couple’s relationship would not have lasted five years if she were experiencing domestic violence.
“I swear on my life, on my soul, that I am not an abuser. We are in a happy relationship, a very happy – literally married – and we’ve been together for five years. Trust me, if there was something up, our whole family would know about it,” says Sisco before his wife begins to address the chat.
“The skin contact that you guys are talking about where you’re hearing it…Jordan was so freaked out in that situation, and I love him, and I’ve been with him for five years…when Jordan flips out, I mean, y’all have seen him many many times. I mean if he punched me it would be very obvious – I’m very pale,” says his wife in the video.
That livestream was eventually removed from Sisco’s channel.
In one of the last videos posted to his Twitch channel, Sisco can be seen reading a chat in which users make comments about the “grunts” he made in the video.
“They’re saying the grunts make it look bad, like the way I was grunting,” says Sisco while reading chat. “Brother, I promise you, brother, I don’t know else to say it, it’s literally like – I grunted in that. I grunted but I wasn’t hitting her bro, I pushed her, that’s the only thing that I did.”
He then continues to say that he “didn’t [expletive] hit her” and that he would “never hit her on her face.”
He finishes the clip by saying that. hiswife was not reacting the way it appeared on the video.
“She was not crying afterwards….She was literally not crying, she just said ‘turn the [expletive] thing off.’ Bro, what I was saying is, if I hit her, she would have been like ‘what the [expletive] did you do that for.’ It was one push, it was one push,” says Sisco in the clip.
As of Wednesday, no formal charges have been filed against Sisco and there is no indication that a criminal investigation is active or forthcoming.
