While some expected Emily's channel to be reinstated in three days, others speculated that her account was taken down because of a recent incident that occurred during her IRL livestream, where she was seen using a phone while driving and running a red light.

"unban incoming in 3 days," X user @6stako wrote.
"We all knew this was coming lol," X user @iOrcas12 posted.
"Now she has to be fined because there is no lack of evidence," X user @suayrez remarked.

What was the recent controversy surrounding ExtraEmily?

ExtraEmily made headlines on April 12, 2025, when a video of her IRL livestream from Austin, Texas, was posted to the r/LivestreamFail subreddit. In the clip, the content creator drove and interacted with her live audience, and she appeared to be running a red light while looking at her phone.

While claiming that the red lights in the Texan city are "really long" and that there was "no problem," Emily remarked:

"Okay, we keep going. Okay, I'm stopping. Okay. Okay, we're good! Okay, no problem! That happens all the time. In Austin, you know, the stoplights here are really long. So, usually I just go past. It's fine, it's fine. Like, people do that as long as it's yellow. People do that."

The community on the streamer-focused subreddit was not pleased with ExtraEmily's actions, with one netizen claiming that her driver's license should be "taken away permanently."


Emily got banned for the first time on Twitch in October 2023, days after she received backlash for using her phone while driving on live stream. However, she was eventually unbanned two days later.
