Powerlifter Larry Wheels struck streamer DeenTheGreat with an open-hand slap during a livestreamed double date after Deen repeatedly crossed boundaries with Wheels’ wife.
This all went down during an IRL stream featuring Wheels, his wife, DeenTheGreat, and former UFC fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. What started as a casual outing quickly turned tense as Deen directed increasingly flirtatious comments toward Wheels’ wife.
Throughout the stream, Deen complimented Wheels’ wife repeatedly despite visible discomfort from the couple. The situation escalated when Deen attempted to initiate a hug with her. Things reached a breaking point when Deen allegedly told Wheels his wife was “up for grabs.”
Rampage Jackson attempted to calm things down multiple times during the confrontation. He positioned himself between the parties and tried redirecting the interaction with humor. At one point, Jackson hugged Wheels’ wife himself in what appeared to be an attempt to diffuse the tension, later apologizing for the gesture.
Wheels appeared visibly agitated but restrained throughout Deen’s provocations. After the “up for grabs” comment, Wheels delivered the slap. Deen immediately backed away and created distance from the group.
The confrontation shows the risks of IRL streaming culture, where creators broadcast real-world social situations for live audiences. The format can incentivize provocative behavior and boundary-pushing for engagement, sometimes resulting in genuine conflict.
