Popular streamer Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa has revealed that Twitch issued her a warning after featuring the voice of banned streamer Adin Ross on her latest broadcast. Here’s the breakdown of this unexpected turn of events. 🛑
A Shocking Incident: Amouranth’s Close Call with Intruders 🚨
On March 2, Amouranth was involved in a terrifying real-life incident when three intruders broke into her home, attempting to steal her cryptocurrency. After being pistol-whipped, Amouranth bravely led the group to another area of her house where her husband, Nick, was waiting, armed with a firearm. 🔫
In a dramatic turn of events, Nick fired two shots, hitting one of the intruders, who retreated before law enforcement arrived on the scene. 🚔
The Controversial Interview with Adin Ross 🎙️
In the days following the traumatic event, Amouranth went live on March 11 and revealed her husband to her audience for the first time, during an interview with Adin Ross, the popular star from Kick. Unfortunately for Amouranth, this live session with Adin Ross resulted in her receiving a warning from Twitch. 😬
Amouranth Reacts to Twitch’s “Generous Warning” 💬
Amouranth took to social media on March 13 to share her frustration, revealing that her Twitch channel had received an account warning for having a banned streamer’s voice featured in her VOD (video on demand).
“My Twitch channel just received an account warning for having a banned streamer’s voice on my recent VOD,” Amouranth posted. Twitch has strict policies that prohibit banned streamers from appearing on the platform, even through their voices. 🚫
Adin Ross’s Ban: What Happened? ❌
Adin Ross was permanently banned from Twitch in 2023 after showcasing racist messages in the Kick chat during a stream. The situation sparked controversy, with Kick’s executives claiming that Twitch banned Ross as a tactic to harm their platform. Since then, Ross has been vocal about his desire to return to Twitch, even expressing anger over the platform’s decision to unban Hasan after a controversial comment while keeping Ross indefinitely banned. 💥
Amouranth’s Sarcastic Response to Twitch’s Warning 🤦♀️
Despite the warning, Amouranth remained sarcastic, saying:
“I appreciate the generous warning, and I won’t do that again.” 😏
While Amouranth was let off with just a warning, this incident highlights Twitch’s strict enforcement of its rules about banned streamers. In contrast, other streamers have been suspended for similar infractions.
Past Suspensions: Double Standards? 🤔
Amouranth’s situation is not unique. In 2022, Hikaru ‘GMHikaru’ Nakamura, a popular chess streamer, received a three-day ban for watching Dr Disrespect during his own broadcast, though he was allowed to return early, just a day later. 📅
The Future for Amouranth on Twitch: What’s Next? 🔮
After this warning, Amouranth has promised to avoid featuring banned creators on her streams in the future. The question remains: will Twitch’s warning system continue to be consistent, or are there double standards at play when it comes to punishing content creators? ⚖️
