Pokimane Threatened With Legal Action Over Ninja Controversy
The last week on Twitch has been a whirlwind of controversy in the wake of JiDion's hate raid on Imane "Pokimane" Anys, which continues to escalate despite JiDion's permanent ban on Twitch. This is due to the involvement of Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, whose role in the controversy Pokimane spoke about in her most recent stream. Her decision doesn't appear to be sitting well with Ninja's wife and manager, Jessica Blevins, who is threatening Pokimane with legal action as a result of sharing their interactions on stream.
The situation began on January 12, when Pokimane was hate raided by JiDion during his first partnered stream on Twitch. She ended stream early while JiDion was handed down a 14-day ban for the hate raid, though the harassment did not stop, as the latter changed his Twitter profile picture to one of Pokimane without makeup, reacted to her streams on Instagram, and appeared to call out the male segment of her fanbase. This ultimately led to Twitch handing down a permanent ban for JiDion as a result of the ongoing harassment Pokimane was facing from his fanbase, something JiDion has since posted an apology video for on his YouTube channel.

In return, Jessica messaged Pokimane that the couple would be speaking with lawyers and seek a possible defamation lawsuit which the latter shared on Twitter.
