Jack Doherty was banned from the streaming platform Kick
Earlier this month, Doherty drove a sports car and frequently glanced at his phone to read the chat. While multitasking, he lost control of his McLaren and collided with a guardrail. He then filmed himself exiting the vehicle and inspecting the damage, with his passenger, a cameraman, visibly bleeding in the footage.
Jack Doherty reported that he was unharmed, and no other individuals were involved. In response, streaming platform Kick permanently banned Doherty, stating that it does not tolerate illegal activity, and acted swiftly to remove him.
He is also reportedly facing a lawsuit for assault and battery related to an alleged altercation at a party involving his bodyguard.
After this incident, he switched to the streaming platform Twitch where he made his debut on October 11, 2024. He announced his new streaming platform through a tweet, though he mentioned feeling disconnected without his usual Kick audience.
It was a brief five-minute livestream where he asked for advice on how to avoid getting banned on Twitch, reflecting on his previous ban on Kick and wondering how he could stay in good standing on the platform.
The 21-year-old YouTuber also expressed hope of eventually being unbanned from Kick. However, Kick’s co-owner, Adin Ross, publicly stated that Doherty would need to pay $300,000 to lift the suspension, warning that without the payment, his ban would remain indefinite.
