“He’s Gonna Figure Out a Way to Fuck You Up”: ZeroDarkTony Predicts Harm to DOA, Says He Will Sue Brooks’s Wife and Daughter

it will be great when ashley spills all the beans on him

Exhibit A

D’Amato tells his audience that Clearwater “and all of his goons” are “planning some really harsh shit” for Hochstetter, then addresses Hochstetter directly: “He’s gonna figure out a way to fuck you up, Scott. That’s what’s gonna happen, you bitch.”

D’Amato puts the harm on Clearwater, not himself, as a prediction about what someone else will do. He does not say who Clearwater is or what Clearwater might do. He follows with insults aimed at Hochstetter, then turns to what he calls “Tommy’s long con.”

Exhibit B

D’Amato says of his own case: “I’m going to win because I actually have evidence, proof that will support my declaration.” He says that if Hochstetter (by context: he named “Scott” about three minutes earlier and has been talking about him since) is trying to attach him to a lawsuit against institutions, that case will be dismissed with prejudice and Hochstetter will “have to pay those lawyers for the rest of his fucking days.”

These are his predictions. He did not name Hochstetter’s lawsuit, its court or its case number.

Exhibit C

D’Amato describes a suit he says he is writing: “If and when I decide to file what I am writing up, then they’ll think it’s funny then.” He says the next subpoenas will come with a judge’s order.

He says that the last time he sought subpoenas, his critics “gave up and they ran.” The best-documented earlier try ended differently: in Willens v. D’Amato (25STRO01863), a judge quashed his lawyer’s 2025 subpoenas to YouTube for records on several critics’ channels, including that of Hero Not Zero contributor Hero Light Cody, and ordered the lawyer to pay $2,000 of the other side’s attorney fees, a payment she put on hold.

Exhibit D

D’Amato turns to other critics, saying of Lara, “I think Lara’s a total piece of shit as a human being,” and of Dan Walks LA, “I can’t stand Dan Walks LA, I think Dan Walks LA is a total piece of shit.” He then says, “Have I made some gay jokes? Probably.”

Earlier in the stream, in remarks that by context are about Hochstetter (he names DOA and Scott just before and after), he accuses him of hate crimes and of “a disdain and a hatred for gay people,” after asking, “have I made some gay jokes before?”

Exhibit E

D’Amato says that if “the respondent’s little chat” keeps harassing him on Brooks’s behalf, “I’ll sue the wife. I will put that fucking daughter on that lawsuit. I’m not kidding.” He then says “Ashley is gonna have some legal issues” and invites her to contact “one of my attorneys or one of my mods” if she wants to come forward, adding, “I don’t know how that works.”

The respondent is Brooks; the wife and daughter are his. Nothing in the clip makes Ashley the daughter; on his Oct. 20 stream he grouped her with Hochstetter.

Exhibit F

D’Amato describes the restraining order hearing against Brooks: “When we showed the evidence of the respondent screaming my daughter’s name, threatening my daughter, threatening me, talking about my mother, the judge was appalled. That’s why I got the RO.” He says the judge called $23,000 “a reasonable amount” and that he will be in court on Oct. 29.

The restraining order is real: the court granted it on June 22, 2026, for five years. What the judge thought of the evidence is his account. The fee claim is not borne out. At the Oct. 1 hearing the judge made no finding on the amount; she said she needed Brooks’s income and expense information and continued the motion. On Oct. 29 she awarded $10,725.00 of the $23,197.40 requested. Her minute order lists only Brooks and D’Amato’s lawyer as present, both appearing remotely. In the same clip he turns back to Hochstetter and repeats a claim he makes several times on this stream. In his words, the target of it is “a pervert who films little girls and got a restraining order.” He says that “the only thing that’s an opinion about that is the pervert part. Everything else is factual.” HNZ has not verified that claim. Related: “I Take That as a Threat Against My Daughter”: Brooks Puts ZeroDarkTony’s Lawsuit Talk Before the Judge
