A Singaporean streamer has reportedly copped a ban from Twitch after breaching its guidelines.
Cheng ‘Kiaraakitty’ Wing Yee, a 19-year-old originally from Hong Kong, has been touring Taiwan, showing off the highlights of the region.
But she reportedly ran afoul of Twitch’s guidelines.
Automated Twitter bot StreamerBans wrote on January 23, “Twitch Partner “Kiaraakitty” (@kiaraakitty) has been banned!”
It’s unclear what the alleged indiscretion was, but one video posted on the YouTube channel Twitch Clips states the star was pinged for footage of her doing squats while wearing a pink bra and pink leggings with her back facing the camera. That is reportedly against the Amazon-owned streaming service’s guidelines.
Another report states she was banned for eating a sausage while wearing a bra.
Twitch has strict policy on nudity and sexually suggestive content.
The adult model has about 365,000 followers on Twitch, 183,000 on Instagram, 72,000 on Twitter.
She’s widely known for doing IRL (In Real Life) content, and hot tub streaming.
It’s not the first time she’s been banned for breaking Twitch’s rules.
She served a ban in March 2021 after she and four other women wore bikinis while in a jacuzzi, Game Rant reports.
Some fans expressed disappointment that she was off the platform.
“Nooooo,” one person wrote, while another posted a photo of a sad Pikachu.
But they didn’t have to wait long. StreamerBans tweeted on Friday January 27 that she had been allowed back on the platform.
“Thank you for standing by me everyone. I love you all,” Kiaraakitty wrote on Twitter.
The streamer also revealed that an anonymous donor had gifted her $8,888.
