Fousey in tears over Kick ban after punching manager in the head

Fousey in tears over Kick ban after punching manager in the head

Prominent streamer Fousey issued a tearful statement after punching his manager during a Kick broadcast, only to be banned from the platform shortly afterwards.

Fousey is an OG YouTuber-which has become a steamboat that is transmitting Stairs for the past year under an exclusive contract after receiving a series of bans Pull.

However, he has now been banned from that website as well, following an explosive moment that occurred during an October 29 broadcast.

In his stream, Fousey verbally berated his content manager following a dispute because his camera wasn’t fully charged, and demanded they “get out of my house.”

The two clashed with expletives before Fousey angrily stomped over to his manager and began throwing punches, successfully hitting him in the head.

It wasn’t long before Fousey was banished from Kick along with his own channel with a 404 error when users tried to watch his streams.

He discussed the incident in a short video later that day, saying he did not believe the fight had anything to do with his ban.

“I don’t think they banned me because of the punch,” he said. “I think the industry, and the people in the industry, know that if we don’t ban him now and keep him quiet, he will expose us all.”

He then uploaded another video showing himself walking on the side of the road at night without shoes and shouting, “The team that forgets to tell me to take my mental health meds when I ask them :’ Hey guys, I’m hiring you to do A, B and C, but your main priority? Help me to help myself. I don’t know how.”

Hours later, Fousey responded very differently, uploading a tearful video in which he claimed he couldn’t even remember the events of the past two days.

“I’ve been under so much stress because I promised Eddie I wouldn’t crash like last year,” he said, referring to the platform’s CEO, Eddie Craven. “My adrenaline spiked and I can’t even remember the last 48 hours now that I’m gone.

He went on to explain that he feels “so much better” and “free” after coming out of his manic state, and admitted that he was mortified by his behavior.

In his video, the streamer referenced another incident that took place in 2023, where he was placed in a mental health facility after calling the police at a hotel in Miami, told the officers that his life was in danger.

Earlier in October, Fousey was also reported missingbut quickly updated concerned viewers on his situation after the ordeal went viral, saying his management wanted to send him “back to rehab” and that he would be away for 80 days.

However, Fousey had just started a 30-day streaming marathon when his latest ban happened – but he insists he’s not leaving the platform to pursue other avenues in the meantime and won’t be able to broadcast on Twitch because of his contract with Kick.

At the time of writing, it is unclear how long his ban will last.
