Yousef "FouseyTube," or Fousey, has announced his arrival on streaming platform Kick following his suspension from Twitch on August 7, 2023. The streamer recently came under significant scrutiny after being accused of exploiting a visibly inebriated woman at an airport. The woman was also believed to be a survivor of s*xual trafficking, further intensifying the backlash.
In the wake of the controversy, Fousey shared a detailed message in which he expressed his intention to take a hiatus. He also disclosed that he was undergoing medical treatment.

"Hello? Is this thing on? Can you hear me @KickStreaming? You said the deal was what? RETWEET if it’s time to join the dark side."
