According to the Kick Team account, Malek was streaming in the wrong category, and urged her to change it.
“Hello there! We would appreciate if you stay in the appropriate category that matches your content. Thanks in advance!” the member of Kick staff wrote.
While this may seem like a simple request, the streamer has had a history of fighting with staff over categories and how they would change her category without warning.
So@KickStreamingjust banned me for live streaming Just Chatting in the Just Chatting category 😂😂😂 Whichever staff member is on night shift is a joke. This is the dumbest most unprofessional shit i’ve ever dealt with. ‼I am so tired of streaming on kick and being HARASSED…https://t.co/4bwUNmYt4Fpic.twitter.com/uw0hHVa8UO
After pleading her case, insisting that she was right to broadcast in Just Chatting, Malek was hit with a ban from the platform, but remainedlive on Twitch.
Although she laughed about it on stream, she was not happy about the ban and made her case known on X where she accused Kick staff of harassing her.
“Whichever staff member is on night shift is a joke. This is the dumbest most unprofessional sh*t I’ve ever dealt with,” she blasted.
“I am so tired of streaming on Kick and being HARASSED by bored staff members that change my category. Not only do they change category but they don’t even correctly change it.”
Malek sid that in a prior broadcast, she was playing Rumble Club in the Just Chatting category when Kick staff kept changing the game to Fall Guys.
