Heelmike has now been hit with a permanent ban on Twitch a month after being banned on Kick for allegedly soliciting minors.
The content creator and streamer Heelmike has now been hit with a permanent ban on Twitch a month after allegations that he wasinvolved in soliciting minors while livestreaming on Kick.
Now, a month on Heelmike’s Twitch channel has received the same fate, with many claiming this to be due to the recent allegations and Kick ban.
Heelmike’s Twitch account is now inaccessible andstates, “This channel is currently unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.”
The reasoning behind Heelmike’s initial Kick ban has been a major source of discussion amongst the community. After being hit with a permanent ban by Kick for allegedly soliciting minors on stream, Heelmike came out and claimed they had fake IDs and that he did not know they were underage.
However, during the live stream where the teenagers appeared, Heelmike can be heard saying, “I love teenagers,” when responding to a viewer who called him out for his behavior.

Kick staff haveconfirmed that the banis “irreversible,” and if this Twitch ban does indeed stay permanent, Heelmike will be left with severely limited options concerning where he can stream. YouTube seems to be the most likely next platform for him to transition to.
