Controversies	• “Fake Hand Ass Pinch” Prank (2014) In September 2014, Sam Pepper uploaded a video called “Fake Hand Ass Pinch Prank”, where he used a fake arm to pinch women’s buttocks while pretending to ask for directions. The video was widely condemned as sexual harassment and led to the hashtag #ReportSamPepper trending online. He later posted another version with women pinching men, claiming the videos were “staged social experiments” meant to raise awareness about harassment. However, many didn’t believe him. YouTuber Laci Green made a response video called “Sam Pepper Exposed”, which received over 100,000 signatures demanding action against him. Around the same time, several women accused him of sexual misconduct, but no legal charges were filed.

While live-streaming the celebrations, he launched a firework that accidentally struck an eight-year-old girl, injuring her near the eye. The video of the incident quickly spread online, with viewers accusing him of being reckless and disrespectful toward local customs. Pepper later admitted responsibility and claimed to have covered the child’s medical expenses, but the backlash was swift and severe. Several streaming platforms, including Kick, temporarily banned or suspended his accounts. The incident reignited debates about influencer accountability and the risks of turning dangerous acts into online entertainment. [2]Hindustan Times
