Prominent streamer Fousey recenty delivered a heartfelt explanation after an incident during a Kick broadcast where he physically struck his manager, resulting in an immediate ban from the platform shortly thereafter.
Fousey, a well-known YouTuber who transitioned to streaming, has been active on Kick for about a year under a unique contract, particularly after experiencing multiple suspension episodes on Twitch.
Unfortunately, he now faces a ban on Kick as well, following a heated altercation that occurred on October 29 during a live stream.
During the broadcast, Fousey unleashed a barrage of insults at his content manager over a disagreement regarding his camera’s battery being insufficiently charged, demanding that they “leave my house immediately.”
The dispute escalated into a profanity-laden exchange, culminating with Fousey angrily approaching his manager and throwing punches, effectively landing a hit on the manager’s head.

Shortly after the incident, Fousey found himself banned from Kick, with his channel displaying a 404 error when users attempted to access his streams.
Later that day, he addressed the situation in a brief video, claiming he thought the fight was not the reason for his ban.
“I doubt they banned me just for the punch,” he asserted. “I believe the industry is aware that if they don’t silence me, I’ll expose everyone.”

In another video, he was seen walking barefoot at night beside the road, expressing frustration about “the team neglecting to remind me to take my mental health medication when I asked them to prioritize helping me with my health.”

A few hours later, Fousey shared a different sentiment; in an emotional video, he confessed that he couldn’t remember much of the past two days.
“I’ve endured a lot of stress because I promised Eddie I wouldn’t fall apart like last year,” he shared, referring to the platform’s CEO, Eddie Craven. “My adrenaline surged, and now I can’t recall the last 48 hours since I’ve calmed down.”
He expressed that he felt “much better” and “free” after coming down from his heightened state, admitting to being horrified by his actions.
I’m sincerely sorry. Now that my adrenaline has settled, I acknowledge my actions. I always struggle with this—it’s the constant battle of Fousey vs. Yousef. But I’m back to my true self. Please pray for me. Also, let’s pray for everyone. Let’s continue to grow together… pic.twitter.com/H1v2n4gJ8m

In this video, he recalled a severe incident from 2023 where he had to seek assistance at a mental health facility after calling the police in Miami, indicating that he felt he was in danger.
Earlier in October, Fousey had also been reported missing, but he quickly updated concerned followers after the news spread, stating that his management aimed to send him back to “rehab” for 80 days.
Just as he was beginning a 30-day streaming marathon, the recent ban occurred, but Fousey stated that he wouldn’t be leaving the platform to pursue other paths, explaining that he was unable to stream on Twitch due to his commitment with Kick.
As of now, the duration of his ban remains uncertain.
