Streamer Johnny Somali is pleading to be unbanned from Twitch, offering to help the Amazon-owned platform “destroy” Kick after being banned.
Johnny Somali was permanently banned fromTwitchbefore making the jump toKickand Rumble, and has been IRL streaming on both platforms ever since.
However, it’s fair to say his adventures have landed him in a fair bit of hot water, especially in Japan, withlocals attacking himfor harassment and racist remarks, as well as beingarrested and subsequently deportedfor anunauthorized livestream in a restaurant.
Recently, the streamer was alsoarrested in Israel for harassing a female police officer, before beingarrested again after putting up picturesof Adin Ross, Harvey Weinstein, and Jeffrey Epstein on the Western Wall — a holy site in Israel. The streamer was banned from Jerusalem for 50 days as a result.
Somali was later suspended from Kick following the incident and is now calling on Twitch to take him back. “Unban me Twitch, I am a changed man,” he pleadedin a post on Twitter/X.
“I made a mistake 1 year ago at the age of 22 under the influence of alcohol. I have matured and grown since then.”
Not only that, but the streamer proposed he’d also help the platform “destroy” their rival too. “I will help you destroy Kick,” he wrote. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
It’s unclear if Twitch will lift the permanent suspension. However, the Amazon-owned streaming site is looking into giving permabanned streamers “another chance” —allowing some to apply to be unbannedbut with some exceptions.
