Kick streamer Yousef Saleh Erakat, better known as Fousey, was banned from the platform following an incident on October 30, 2024.

During his IRL stream broadcast in Australia, he allegedly attacked his manager and used homophobic slurs, including the “F-word.” Following the incident, Fousey's Kick channel went offline.

This ban comes shortly after Fousey signed an exclusive contract with Kick, limiting his ability to switch platforms. Addressing his viewers, Fousey noted, “Not even 48 hours into my 30 days of 24/7 and Kick bans me… I can't go to Twitch to continue.”

Fousey said the ban wasn't just because of the physical altercation. “I don't think they banned me because of the punch…if we don't ban him and silence him now, he's going to embarrass us all,” he hinted, noting that he expects Kick to the bans clarify duration.

Before his suspension, Fousey had been anticipating a possible ban and urged fans to follow him on Twitch. He acknowledged his actions and said, “I did something…that I shouldn't have done.” That's what I did. We are all human beings.”

Fousey highlighted the unique scrutiny he faces as a 24/7 live streamer and expressed his frustration and vulnerability in public. Although he viewed Twitch as a backup, contractual obligations prevented him from making the switch.
