Who is Dean Withers? Streamer accused of doxing another streamer and calling CPS in viral controversy
The internet is once again on fire, and this time, it's over Dean Withers. The streamer has landed in hot water after being accused of doxing and allegedly making a CPS (Child Protective Services) call on another creator.
Social media timelines are messy, fans are divided, and clips are flying around everywhere. So, what really happened?
Who is Dean Withers?
If you're deep into Twitch or YouTube drama, you've probably come across Dean Withers. He's a relatively smaller content creator but has built a reputation in certain online circles for his reaction streams and hot takes. But recently, things spiraled way beyond debates and content—it got
personal
.
It Started With an Argument
Things kicked off when Dean got into an online beef with another creator. Dean was accused of going beyond the platform drama and leaking personal information—aka doxing.
One clip circulating shows Dean allegedly reading out names and partial addresses. Although he never showed full details, people were quick to call it intentional.
Then Came the CPS Call Allegations
This is where it gets serious. Multiple creators online claimed that Dean may have been involved in filing a CPS report on the other creator he was feuding with.

No official documents have surfaced yet, but leaked DMs and voice clips suggest that someone close to Dean—or possibly Dean himself—made the call.
Naturally, the internet lost it. Doxing is one thing. But dragging Child Protective Services into a content spat? That's a whole new level of low.
Dean Responds... and Makes It Worse?
Instead of laying low or addressing the matter seriously, Dean went
full sarcasm mode
. In a stream, he joked about how people
'can't take a little internet sleuthing'
and said the CPS situation was
'just a prank, bro.'
Fans weren't laughing. Clips of his mockery started spreading fast, and even creators who previously supported him started pulling back.
Internet's Reaction: Split But Loud
The community is divided. Some say there's no hard proof of Dean actually making the CPS call, and that everyone's overreacting. Others believe even entertaining the idea—especially in a joking tone—is already crossing a line.
Reddit threads, X/Twitter spaces, YouTube callouts—Dean is everywhere right now. And whether you think he messed up or not, it's clear that the trust is broken.

'The kind of script that we were writing, what I wanted to do with it… It's too early to speak about it unfortunately so I can't into into details but it needed this next generation actor in it,' Farhan said in a chat with Raj Shamani on his YouTube channel. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But a recent report says Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra may reunite for part three. A source told India Today, 'The makers are planning to add some drama by including Shah Rukh Khan's character. Not much is known about the part; however, reportedly reached out to SRK and narrated the character and the story around him. While the superstar is busy with King at the moment, given their close association, he's agreed to do it.' The source added that Priyanka also may return to the franchise after acting as Roma in part one and two. Explaining why he chose Ranveer as Don, Farhan said, 'He is mischievous, just full of energy, which is what this needs and he is… I feel when it comes to this aspect of his performance, it's still untapped. Like I don't think he has done a role like this.' 'His characters, because of who he is, they have been written for him, for that reason, are very external. They are loud characters. They are big characters where he has the histrionics and everything. Don requires a very different kind of performance from him. There is a certain holding everything inside that is needed for this character which I don't think he has done so I feel, for him also, it is a nice challenge to be able to do this. You will see him in a different way,' added the Dil Chahta Hai helmer.

Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par becomes 5th highest-grossing film of his career
Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par has become a box office success, grossing Rs 149.89 crore in 18 days. The emotional drama, directed by R.S. Prasanna, is now Khan's fifth-highest-grossing film, surpassing Thugs of Hindostan and Ghajini. Its success marks a comeback for Khan and highlights the appeal of content-driven cinema, with expectations of reaching over Rs 160 crore. Aamir Khan has added yet another feather to his illustrious cap with Sitaare Zameen Par, which has raked in an impressive Rs 149.89 crore in just 18 days across all languages. Directed by R.S. Prasanna and also starring Genelia D'Souza, the emotional drama has now emerged as the 5th highest-grossing film of Aamir Khan's career, surpassing the lifetime collections of big-budget films like Thugs of Hindostan and Ghajini. Mohit Suri Spills On 20 Years In Bollywood - Ahaan & Aneet, Alia Bhatt Dream Collab & More Released in three languages—Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu—Sitaare Zameen Par opened to strong word-of-mouth and critical appreciation, especially for its heartwarming storytelling and performances. It witnessed a solid first weekend, earning Rs 10.7 crore on Friday, Rs 20.2 crore on Saturday, and peaking with Rs 27.25 crore on Sunday. Despite expected weekday drops, the film closed its first week with a robust Rs 88.9 crore. The second weekend held strong, with Saturday and Sunday contributing Rs 12.6 crore and Rs 14.5 crore respectively, and a total Week 2 collection of Rs 46.5 crore. The third weekend again showed the audience's continued interest, adding another Rs 13.3 crore over Friday to Sunday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Spacious 4 BHK Homes starting @ ₹ 5.25 Cr* on Dwarka E-Way Emaar India Get Quote Undo As of Day 18 (third Monday), Sitaare Zameen Par has reached Rs 148.89 crore, inching close to the Rs 150 crore milestone—a feat rarely achieved by a non-action, emotion-driven social drama in recent years. With this, the film has comfortably overtaken Thugs of Hindostan (Rs 145.55 crore), Ghajini (Rs 114 crore), and Talaash (Rs 93.61 crore) in Aamir Khan's career tally. It now trails behind only 3 Idiots (Rs 202.47 crore), Dhoom 3 (Rs 271.07 crore), PK (Rs 340.8 crore), and Dangal (Rs 374.43 crore)—all massive blockbusters with wide appeal and multi-week dominance. Sitaare Zameen Par marks a significant comeback for Aamir after the underwhelming performance of Laal Singh Chaddha (Rs 61.12 crore). It has not only reinstated his box office credibility but also reaffirmed his strong connect with family audiences, thanks to the film's emotional themes, inclusive narrative, and child-centric story. While it may not reach the heights of Dangal or PK, its entry into the top five is a clear testament to the power of content-driven cinema when backed by a trusted name like Aamir Khan. With limited competition in the coming days, Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to continue its steady run and possibly close its lifetime business above Rs 160 crore.
