Fousey’s recent mental struggles led to consecutive bans on Twitch in the past weeks. Following this pattern, he shifted his streaming activity to Kick and collaborated with content creator Adin Ross.
Although scheduled to finalize his Kick agreement, Fousey’s plans were thwarted as he was subsequently admitted to a mental institution.
The events leading to Fousey’s interaction with the police unfolded during his Kick stream. Displaying visible distress, he called the police on himself, citing a recent death threat involving him and his mother. Amid verbal exchanges, Fousey expressed frustration at the perceived lack of police assistance, resulting in his restraint with handcuffs. He threatened legal action against the officers.
Contrary to initial assumptions of an arrest, TMZ disclosed that Fousey was directed to a mental health facility for evaluation following the altercation. Supporters were already concerned due to death threats Fousey received. Earlier, he faced a significant breakdown on stream after accusations of exploiting an inebriated woman. Fousey sought professional help but resumed streaming shortly after.
Recently, Fousey stirred controversy by using a racial slur during a song performance, sparking social media discussions.
