On November 3, 2024, former Kick streamer Fousey shared a short clip of the police allegedly coming to arrest him while he was on a beach in Australia. The American-Palestinian content creator traveled to the country a few days ago to do a month-long marathon stream on Kick.

However, he was banned from the platform after he threatened to shoot himself on a livestream. In a post on his X community page, Fousey warned people who had reported on him to "run" and "hide" after he gets freed:

"I’M BEING ARRESTED!!!!! #FREEFOUSEY TILL IT’S BACKWARDS. WHEN I GET OUT. IF U F**KED ME OVER IN LIFE… RUN. HIDE. I’M COMING!", wrote the streamer in a post on X.

Fousey confronts the cops who had come to allegedly arrest him

Yousef "Fousey" has had a turbulent couple of days after he was initially banned from Kick for fighting with his employees on camera while on a 30-day-long marathon stream. While he did get unbanned in just a day, after the streamer went live, his channel was banned again after his tirade about shooting himself on a future broadcast.

Since then, he has announced that he will retire from livestreaming and won't be coming back to Kick even after the ban gets lifted. Regardless, it appears that someone called the cops on him while he was at a beach in Australia. After law enforcement confronted him, Yousef tried explaining to them that he was being doxed:

"I was on the phone with my therapist, I am totally okay. I am an internet star. Peopleacalled the cops on me and it's called doxing. You ever heard of doxing? People call the cops and then they do threats to get me arrested."

Fousey also told the police officers at the scene that he had been put in a psych ward a couple of nights ago after being allegedly doxed:

"Two nights ago, ask the police department, I was in a psych ward. Fousey Yousef. They did this to me two days ago. Maam, two days ago I was sleeping in bed and I wake up with 15 guns in my face and lights. Someone called the cops and said I am going to kill my employees."

The internet personality claimed that he was declared mentally fit after consulting with psychologists and doctors. Fousey also claimed that people online were trying to mess with him because he retired the day before:

"I met with the psychiatrist, therapist, the board and the police. They said he is good, he is mentally fit. Right now the internet is trying to f**k with me 'cus I retired yesterday. Whatever they called you and said, they lied. I don't have a knife, I have a chapstick, I'm gay."

Fousey also mentioned the 2023 episode where he was arrested in Miami and put on psychiatric hold for more than two months. As the police officers walked him to their car, the streamer insisted that he would not let them arrest him:

"I am not letting you guys arrest me right now. That's why I posted and said I am not suicidal, I am not going to hurt anybody. I am not letting you guys do this, respectfully, you see me I am sane. Can I grab my stuff? My stuff's over there. I'll walk to the car but I am not getting arrested though. I am safe, I am fit to be here."

Since the initial video posted on his community page, Fousey has put out an update tagging Andrew Tate and talking more about the police trying to arrest him.

In another post on X, the streamer claimed that no one from his team had come to his rescue after the cops detained him. He also went on a rant about law enforcement using resources and money on him when in vain. It is unclear whether the police took him into custody.
