ZDT THEATER – DIRTBAG DOWN _ N-WORD BLUES _ SURPRISES
“This is Lara when she lied.”
On April 14, 2026, a livestream Rumble broadcast centers on a sustained attack against the streamer and musician known as LaraFM, a former member of the Church of Scientology. During the broadcast, Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, responds to a prior vandalism incident involving Lara by delivering a series of statements expressing approval of violence. What begins as a review of a year-old tire-slashing incident quickly shifts into rhetoric endorsing harm.
The vandalism targeting Lara’s vehicle has been widely discussed online, with some viewers and commentators speculating that ZeroDarkTony may have been connected, in part based on an individual seen on security footage she presented being connected to him. ZeroDarkTony has denied and mocked those claims on-air. At the same time, material from earlier streams shows him addressing the individual who appeared to be linked to the incident, adding another layer to an already disputed narrative.
Lara is not the only target. The broadcast situates her among a broader group of critics and former Scientologists, including Aaron Smith-Levin and Marilyn Honig, who are referenced during the segment. In this context, the livestream functions less as a rebuttal than as escalation, replacing factual engagement with ridicule and increasingly extreme language.
Exhibits
Exhibit A – Statements expressing approval of violence
“Maybe a meteor could hit that jail… I also hope that somebody beats the dog shit out of him… I think that would be great for him.”
The statement moves beyond insult into explicit approval of physical harm. The phrasing—“that would be great for him”—frames violence as a desirable outcome. The remarks extend beyond a single target, with additional references to Marilyn Honig, broadening the scope of the hostility.
This moment marks a shift from ridicule to endorsement. The tone is not incidental; it establishes a pattern that continues throughout the segment. Chat activity remains active during this portion of the broadcast, and a gifted membership (“RadTigers gifting one sub”) appears in the same timeframe, aligning audience engagement with the escalation in rhetoric.
Timestamp: 00:27:22 – 00:29:12
Exhibit B – Escalation to lethal harm language
“I hope her coke gets spiked with fentanyl.”
Here, the rhetoric escalates further, invoking a specific and potentially lethal scenario. The statement is direct and unambiguous in expressing a wish for harm.
This segment unfolds alongside continued personal attacks directed at Lara. The host uses dehumanizing language while continuing to frame her claims as fraudulent. Chat comments visible during this portion reflect a similarly hostile tone, mirroring the posture set by the host.
Timestamp: 01:34:04 – 01:38:34
The stream does not show a sustained effort to address the allegation. Instead, it shows a pivot: from dispute to derision, and from derision to explicit endorsements of harm. The escalation is not incidental. It is the defining feature of the segment.
