Streamer Natalie Reynolds has sparked fury by daring a vulnerable woman who couldn’t swim to jump into a lake then running away cackling with her friends.
The cruel stunt, filmed by Reynolds’ streamer pals and later shared on Reddit, shows the influencer encouraging the woman to jump into a lake before mocking her.
Viewers have responded to the clip by telling Reynolds to ‘get f***ed’ while others described her as ‘narcissistic’ and ‘absolutely horrible’.
Reynolds is a Kick streamer from the US who regularly stirs up outrage through inane stunts like going to the gym with painted ‘leggings’ as a ‘social experiment’.
Her latest video shows her interacting with a vulnerable woman who is wearing only a t-shirt and slider shoes on a low pier over what appears to be Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday afternoon.

Reynolds is facing backlash online since the horrifying incident
Wearing a backward baseball cap and a crop top, Reynolds mimes pushing the woman into the water before telling her ‘you should just jump in right now’.
The lady dives into the water as Reynolds watches, before turning to her friends saying: ‘Oh! What the f***. Did you see her ass?’
Two officials race to the woman’s aid as she shouts ‘You said it was okay!’ to Reynolds, who replies: ‘You said you wanted to swim’.
‘You told me to jump in,’ the woman shouts back, and Reynolds retorts: ‘I didn’t tell you to jump in.’
One of the officials can be heard saying ‘Yeah, you did,’ in a tired voice as they rush to help the woman in the water. They usher Reynolds away.

As the video switches to Reynolds on dry land, the woman can be heard shouting ‘I can’t swim! I can only float,’ in a distressed tone.
‘Stop, seriously, you’re actually freaking me out. I’m going to f***ing kill myself. She says she’s drowning,’ Reynolds says to her pals.
‘I didn’t know!’ Reynolds says as a male friend replies: ‘I think you literally just murdered someone’ and the group of five run away laughing.
The video cuts to the group sitting in a car as Reynolds puts her hand over her mouth and her friend says, ‘this is really bad’, while fire trucks drive past in the direction they just left.
Austin Fire Department wrote on X that emergency medics and firefighters attended Lady Bird Lake for a ‘medical call’ on Wednesday.
‘There is no water rescue on Lady Bird Lake. The person is out of the water and the incident has been downgraded to a medical call,’ the department said.

Disgusted social media users blasted the streamers for their callous behavior.
‘Why wouldn’t they stay and help her? That’s absolutely horrible. There is a special place in hell for people like this,’ one person wrote in response to the video posted on Reddit.
‘She’s a POS for denying and not helping,’ one Redditor replied.
‘These people are focused on getting content and nothing else,’ another person said in a comment which was ‘liked’ 1.4K times.
‘That woman isn’t a human being to them. She is a prop. Suddenly though, this “prop” starts pleading for help and it’s like for the first time these dickheads are realizing they put an actual persons life in jeopardy.’
Others said they hoped Reynolds would face consequences for her actions.
‘Watching you convince that woman to jump in the water, then jokingly run away during her distress? Hope you giggle your way to prison,’ one viewer wrote on Reynold’s latest Instagram post showing her dragging a shark out of the ocean.

‘This girl’s not right in the head that’s for sure. She deserves to face charges maybe that will teach her!’ another person said.
Social media users claimed the woman Reynolds coaxed into the water was ‘homeless’, but this has not been confirmed.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Austin Police and Austin Fire Department for clarification on whether any charges will be brought over the incident.
