Felix "xQc" has called out Emily "ExtraEmily" for doing a driving school stream as her first broadcast back on Twitch after getting banned for distracted driving following the traffic violation controversy. For context, Emily was banned by Twitch for roughly 24 hours on April 13, 2025, after clips of her running a red light while streaming on the platform garnered backlash on social media.
The fact that her channel was reinstated after a day was a subject of much controversy as well, with streamers like Stable Ronaldo blasting Twitch and claiming ExtraEmily deserved to get banned for over a month. On her return stream, she apologized and said she would go to driving school and take the tests. She also stated she'd have a driving instructor to keep her from breaking traffic laws.
xQc reacted to a clip of the ExtraEmily talking about the driving school stream on April 15 and criticized her, claiming the OTK-affiliated streamer had made a mockery out of the traffic violation controversy.
"Yeah, she got banned for distracted driving. And instead of apologizing, I guess she did apologize, she is making a mockery out of it with a driving instructor. No hate but, you don't need a driving instructor to do attentive driving, bro. You can be the best driver in the world and be on your phone at the same time, and then you are still a dumbf**k."
