Internet star Fousey has been hit with yet another ban on Twitch, making it the second time he’s been suspended in less than a month’s time.

For over a decade, Fousey has been known for his high-quality YouTube content having amassed over 10 million subscribers on the platform.

He also has a budding Twitch channel as well with over 170k followers on the Amazon-owned platform.

On August 7, 2023, Fousey was hit with a mysterious ban on Twitch — his second suspension from the site in the last month.

Fousey banned on Twitch for “hateful slur”

Immediately after being hit with a ban from the Amazon-owned platform, Fousey’s channel began to display one of Twitch’s ban messages instead of the creator’s channel.

“This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service,” it reads.

Twitch inclusivity

The internet star has been 24/7 live streaming since July 1, 2023, according to TwitchTracker, and has had a few incidents happen on stream that may have potentially caused his ban.

Fousey revealed why he was banned from the platform in a quote retweet, debunking a user claiming it was due to his controversial stream with a “trafficked” woman.

“I know how bad you want to capitalize on this because I am now friends with H3. But I got banned for using the “F” slur,” he said.
