Controversial streamer Michael "Heelmike" recently announced that Kick had banned him. In a post on X, he shared a screenshot that reveals that the reason the platform suspended him was "Underage endangerment." Michael has called out the website for this ruling, sharing a picture of the woman he was streaming with and claiming she is not a child.
The post on X has garnered thousands of impressions within hours, and has the following caption:
This is his second ban of 2024 after he and Jack Doherty were suspended back in January after a woman appeared to flash her privates to them on camera after being egged on by Doherty.
Michael is quite a contentious streamer who made the switch to the Stake-backed platform in January 2023, a few months after the new website was announced towards the end of 2022. He had quite a large following on Twitch. He garnered a lot of attention for his Fortnite streams and still boasts over seven million followers on the Amazon-owned streaming platform despite not going live on his channel for over a year.
However, since coming to Kick, he has been known for IRL vlog-style streams, collaborating with other creators, some of which have blown into scandals. His first ban on this site came in February 2023 when he was suspended for a brief time after indulging in sexual actions on camera.
However, since then, Heelmike has been banned several times, such as back in October 2023 after he got into a proper fistfight with other streamers like SweaterGXD, Cuffem, and Citrus. This happened after an altercation between them turned into a brawl, which led Kick to suspend some of the creators involved.
