Fousey’s livestream incident explained
In a clip posted by user JAY THE GOAT on X (formerly Twitter), Fousey was seen having a verbal altercation with his employee, where he immediately fumed and attacked him.
The said video snippet is from the latest YouTube livestream done by Fousey. In it, he can also be heard calling out racial slurs at his manager. As per the clip circulating online, Fousey confronted his team member by saying, “You hung out with A-listers for one day and you got dropped. You ain’t sh**t! You ain’t never going to be sh**t!”
The YouTuber later transformed into uttering insults at his employee, telling him to leave his residence. While Fousey rushed to throw a punch at the person, he was heard screaming disrespectful and homophobic remarks. Furthermore, he allegedly uttered the n-word as the team member retaliated verbally. Later, Fousey posted a clip on X stating that Kick imposed a ban on him for 48 hours.
Hours later, the YouTube streamer posted another clip, in which he was seen addressing the livestream and crying. Fousey wrote in the caption, “I’m so sorry. The adrenaline wore off, and I’m back to reality. I realize what I’ve done. I always do this—it’s always Fousey vs. Yousef. But I’m back to being me now. Pray for me. Actually, pray for everyone. We should all love each other.”
