SSSniperwolf, aka Alia Shelesh, isn’t just a YouTuber, she’s the YouTuber. With 35 million subscribers and a decade of dominance, she’s been running the reaction content game since 2013. But forget viral TikTok compilations, the real content is her divorce, and it’s messier than a Twitch chat at 3 a.m.
While live streaming on Kai Cenat, she nonchalantly mentioned her ex-husband Evan “Sausage” Young is suing her for absolutely everything. We’re talking her money, her accounts, even her new channel. Dude got her things split right down the middle in the breakup, and he’s back for seconds now.
“He’s suing me for the lot,” she explained to Kai. “He’s got half already, but he’s after all my future earnings anyway.”
Bro. That’s insane.
The Receipts Look Like a Netflix Doc
This isn’t divorce court, it’s a legitimate business lawsuit. Court filings detail seven counts against SSSniperwolf ranging from breach of duty, breach of contract, interference, conversion, you name it. Well, if there’s a way you can sue a person, Sausage is attempting it.
He claims the SSSniperwolf channel was a “jointventure” since day one. From his perspective, she was only the face and he was responsible for the scripts, editing, and back-end approach. As he portrays it, it was not herchannel, it was theirchannel.
So now he’s after what he claims is his share of the brand. All of it, if you’re inclined to listen to him, of course.
The Return of the “Fake Gamer” Conspiracy Theory
If you’ve been around YouTube long enough, you know this rumor mill: that SSSniperwolf staged her initial Call of Duty videos. During her SexySexySniper era, fans would swear up and down that she was not in fact the player. Well, you know what? It’s purported in the lawsuit that it was Sausage who was recording gameplay and her merely talking over it. If so, it doesn’t only make her a reaction YouTube, it perhaps invalidates her gaming origin mythology.
YouTube commentator Atozy put it best: “This lawsuit essentially confirmed what everybody’s been guessing for years.” Translation: the streets talk, and it’s not good.
A Three-Year Battlefield
Shelesh reports this war between the couple has lasted three years, and there will be no end until perhaps next year. Young maintains there was an understanding between them since 2013 of dividing ad income 50/50, but she purportedly began to lock him out after the couple split up in 2022.
He’s further accusing her of running sideline operations and backdoor arrangements with her boss Kevin Gold behind his back. Bro is actually framing her as a content mafia of one person.
