Why was Melina banned on Twitch?
While fans are eager to uncover the precise reason for the ban, as of now, no concrete evidence is available regarding the suspension's cause. The streamer is also quite active on social media, but she has not made any statements or provided any information regarding the ban.

Why are Destiny and Melina feuding?
The streamer's relationship has been a topic of discussion for quite some time, especially since the couple publicly disclosed that they are, despite being married, in an open relationship.
Recently, however, things haven't been smooth for the couple. Destiny disclosed during a recent stream that she has been preoccupied with another individual, revealing a strain in their relationship:
"I'll have a small convo when I'm back about things, I'm not gonna 'nuke' Melina or anything, but the last two months (and two weeks) have been a massive mindf**k for me, watching her become obsessed with a toxic/abusive guy."
At the moment, a reconciliation between the two seems unlikely. Destiny recently confirmed that Melina has returned to her home country, Sweden, further indicating a potential distance in their relationship.
