Pokimane states her intention to stay away from all controversies
From ItsSliker being exposed for swindling hundreds of thousands of dollars from fans and viewers for gambling to CrazySlick being accused of s*xual assault, the streaming community has been under heavy stress lately.
Pokimane herself was in the thick of things as she played a major role in driving home the point of restricting gambling on the Amazon-owned streaming platform. She was supported by various other streamers such as Zack "Asmongold" and Hasan "HasanAbi".
Their collective efforts turned out to be worthwhile as Twitch issued a public statement regarding the deplatforming of gambling sponsorships and categories. This surprising news was accompanied by serious accusatory charges against Mizkif and CrazySlick by Tyler "Trainwreckstv" and the victim, fellow Twitch streamer AdrianahLee.
Speaking about the entire conflict and her relationship with the perpetrators, Pokimane said:
"I just don't wanna be involved in any of this, really..."

Shocked at everything that was happening, she further stated:
"I wanna be, like, homies with my OTV friends, and stream some time, vlog and post sh*t, but the Twitch scene, it's all a lot, Jesus Christ!"
It remains to be seen if there are any more chapters left in all of these controversial topics. As of writing this article, both CrazySlick and Mizkif have been suspended from their organization and content house.
