ZDT THEATER – DANNY THE LIAR – SHENANIGANS – EYES WIDE SHUT / March 29, 2026 / Rumble / v77t13u
Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, addressed multiple named individuals across a nearly two-hour Rumble livestream on March 29, 2026. The stream included a warning against approaching his home, extended dehumanizing commentary directed at individuals he referred to as “Danny,” “Darren,” and “Chee,” and an expressed wish that “Darren” be beaten by the unidentified third parties D’Amato claimed were actually responsible for threats being reported to him.
“I Hope You Beat the Shit Out of Them”
Running across multiple segments, D’Amato alternated between distancing himself from alleged harassment of “Darren” and narrating what he hoped would happen if Darren located the responsible parties. In the same stretch of audio, D’Amato stated he did not condone involving children in online disputes while also saying, of Darren specifically, “just because I don’t condone it doesn’t mean you don’t fucking deserve it.” Later, on the question of physical confrontation, he said on stream: “I hope you find them, I hope you beat the shit out of them, I hope you do, good luck with that, but it ain’t me.”
D’Amato separately described what he characterized as “Chee’s” conduct, claiming on stream that “Chee has a reputation for not only catfishing pedophiles and talking to them in fish nets until they fucking nut, she sits there and has sex calls with convicted sex offenders.” D’Amato framed these claims as context for why he believed Chee, not him, was behind the activity Darren was complaining about. He did not present supporting evidence for the claims.
Exhibit A
D’Amato issues a home-visit warning and states a position on children being targeted: “Cool. Well, you know, like, here’s the deal. The police are going to handle the threats. Alright. And don’t ever, ever, ever fucking come to my fucking house, motherfucker. Okay. Because I will call the police… I do not condone getting people’s children involved… just because I don’t condone it doesn’t mean you don’t fucking deserve it.”
Timestamps: 00:23:08 – 00:24:51 | Watch with a free accountD’Amato states he will contact police if anyone comes to his home, which reads as a personal boundary declaration rather than a threat of physical force. The same segment contains the statement that Darren “deserves” what is happening to him, immediately after D’Amato says he does not condone it. Both the warning and the disclaimer appear in the same breath.
Exhibit B
D’Amato addresses his characterization of his own conduct: “I’m just watching him and talking about him in a non-malicious way,” before directing slurs at Darren and stating, “I don’t like you, but I’m not the one that doesn’t like you that’s doing this to you… it’s unfortunate that it comes in this form rather than, you know, you getting on a fucking bus or something and some stranger just punching you in your fucking mouth.”
Timestamps: 00:28:18 – 00:30:02 | Watch with a free accountD’Amato describes a hypothetical stranger striking Darren as preferable to the current form of harassment Darren is experiencing, framed as an expression of preference rather than a directive to anyone present. The clip documents repeated use of slurs directed at Darren and the word “faggot” used as an insult multiple times in sequence.
Exhibit C
Pivoting to commentary on “Danny,” D’Amato addresses his live audience directly: “What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, Danny, you fucking lying sack of fucking shit. What a lying sack of shit he is. Sad little sack of shit. With an ugly wife.” In the same segment he states, “as much as I dislike Danny, I’m not showing up at his house. I’m not doing any of that stupid shit. I’m just talking about him because he lied about me.”
Timestamps: 01:04:17 – 01:06:10 | Watch with a free accountD’Amato’s stated rationale is that Danny “lied about me,” and he explicitly disavows any intent to appear at Danny’s home. The segment establishes the pattern of extended personal insults directed at Danny and his wife, delivered to a live audience, across the stream.
Exhibit D
Over a multi-minute segment, D’Amato continues commentary on Danny and Danny’s wife “Leah,” stating: “I called your wife a fat, ugly pig… she’s gonna die young because of how fat she is. So are you with all the shit you eat. But hey, you’re both gonna die very young.” He then adds, “we could take bets or do a death pool. I’m kidding. We’re not gonna do a death pool.”
Timestamps: 01:11:00 – 01:17:53 | Watch with a free accountD’Amato verbally walks back the “death pool” comment in the same sentence it is made. The extended segment documents repeated dehumanizing physical descriptions of Danny and Leah by name, delivered without qualification, over approximately six minutes.
Exhibit E
Addressing Darren directly on the question of who is responsible for the threats Darren is receiving, D’Amato states: “I would hope that you would call the police so that they would get caught, but you’re too tough. Okay. So I hope somebody else does. Because I hope you do find out who they are, Darren. I really do. I hope you find them. I hope you beat the shit out of them. I hope you do. Good luck with that. But it ain’t me.”
Timestamps: 01:30:18 – 01:32:03 | Watch with a free accountD’Amato frames this as an expression of hope directed at Darren about unidentified third parties, not a directive to his own audience. The clip documents the wish, on a live stream, that Darren locate and physically assault whoever is responsible.
Exhibit F
D’Amato states his theory that the harassment campaign against Darren is staged: “too tough to call the police, so then since they’re too tough to call the police, sort of also makes me believe it’s a work. This is all a fucking work and they’re all working together on trying to do something to fucking frame me up again.” He closes the segment: “there ain’t no war. Nobody’s nobody’s at war, motherfucker.”
Timestamps: 01:32:51 – 01:34:35 | Watch with a free accountD’Amato offers a conspiracy framing as his stated reason for doubting that Darren’s complaints are genuine. The segment establishes his on-stream position that he has no involvement in the reported threats.
Exhibit G
D’Amato names “Chee” as his primary suspect for the activity being attributed to him, claiming on stream: “I don’t know who the fuck it is. My only idea is Chee, because Chee is the only one who would be that nasty.”
Timestamps: 01:40:35 – 01:42:24 | Watch with a free accountD’Amato presents these as his own beliefs and characterizations, prefaced with “my only idea is.” No corroborating evidence is presented in the clip. The segment documents serious public allegations about a named individual made to a live audience.
Taken together, the seven clips from this March 29, 2026 Rumble stream document D’Amato directing sustained dehumanizing language at Danny, Leah, Darren, and Chee by name, issuing a home-visit warning, expressing a wish that Darren physically assault unidentified third parties, and making unverified public allegations about Chee’s conduct with minors and convicted sex offenders.
