"Can't tell if Roman is overreacting or not" - Fans react as a clip showing Roman Atwood "crying" after Vitaly repays the money he owed goes viral

During the recent Vitaly x Roman Atwood stream on Kick, Vitaly paid back the $3,000 dollars that he owed the other streamer. This led to a clip of Roman weeping loudly in appreciation going viral, saying, “You don’t know what this means to me”.

The controversial Kick streamer said that when he was at his lowest, Roman was there for him. However, Roman Atwood claimed he had no idea the debt was even there in the first place.
