ZeroDarkTony is live [ZeroDarkTony] / November 3, 2026 / YouTube / _lLKEkrOLKQ

D’Amato also claims the rival is “making money off of maligning me” with “six-hour legal streams.”

On a Nov. 3, 2026 YouTube livestream, Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., known online as ZeroDarkTony, warned a rival that he would face “a big fucking problem” in court for replaying old video of him. D’Amato said the clips showed things he said before he went into treatment. He did not name the rival in either clip. By context it is Scott Hochstetter, known online as DOA, who streams on YouTube at @thelordofthegadflies. In the same run of remarks D’Amato describes the man as living in an RV that won’t run, mentions his remark about Sticker Chick’s parents’ house, and then addresses him as “scott.”

"Not Only Did He Dox Them, He Extorted Them"

Early in the stream, D’Amato spoke of “very interesting” developments “over the past 72 hours” and said the replays were meant to mislead. He did not deny the old statements: “did i say those things yep but uh you know that’s what treatment’s for.” A few minutes later he accused the same man of doxxing people. Of one post, he said: “not only did he dox them he extorted them saying that if you do this i’ll do this.” He did not name the person, show the post, or offer other evidence for either accusation.

Exhibit A

D’Amato says someone “wanted to replay a video” while “continuing to malign me and paint me in a false light,” then warns: “you’re gonna have a big fucking problem later in uh when you get to court.” He adds that “continuing to intentionally misrepresent the truth is also very interesting so we’ll get to that another time.”

He frames it as future legal action: “i’m gonna deal with it in court like i’m certainly not gonna deal with it on youtube.” He does not name a case. He admits the old statements are real but says airing them without the treatment context misrepresents him.

Exhibit B

D’Amato says: “not only did he dox them he extorted them saying that if you do this i’ll do this,” and calls the man “an idiot absolute buffoon.” He says he forgets the name of the person, and he shows no screenshot, link or other record in the clip.

The doxxing and extortion accusations are D’Amato’s claims; nothing in the clips backs them up. Later in the stream, D’Amato said his rival is “making money off of maligning me” in his “pathetic six-hour legal streams,” and that “a lot of it is a lie.” Related: “I Have You Eight Ways to Fucking Sunday”: ZeroDarkTony Claims Legal Leverage Over Critic; “Threatens Their Families, Doxes Them”: ZeroDarkTony Accuses Rival Streamer DOA of Targeting Women
