Later that day, he went live on Instagram to apologize even more. He said that it’s no one else’s fault but his and that he is having the worst anxiety of his life. He shared that he hasn’t got anything back yet from Twitch that’s why he thinks it was permanent.

He also doubled down on his claims saying that he was at a red light when he texted and despite several Twitch clips shared on other social media showing otherwise, he said that he’s going to appeal it and seems sure that he’s at the red stop lighthuring his IRL stream.
