On November 9, a streamer named Adin Ross was arrested live by SWAT (American special forces) in front of thousands of helpless viewers in the face of the situation. An unusual event on Amazon’s platform that shocked its users… and caused a temporary ban on the content creator. But while many are crying fake, a Twitch star defended Adin body and soul.
“Why are you doing this?”
Here is the sentence uttered on a loop by Adin Ross while a SWAT team was in his living room. He was streaming rather quietly when he was surprised to be informed that a police special forces team was heading towards his home. The streamer with 6.8 million followers didn’t have time to get ready when he heard a commotion in his house.
Viewers of Adin’s stream then witnessed this rather confusing scene: the streamer and his friends gathered in his living room. The agents didn’t appear on camera, but their reflection and the light from their flashlights were enough to send shivers down the spine of all the viewers behind their screens. After that, the residents of the apartments were evacuated and the streamer’s channel… banned for a few hours. Fortunately for him, his channel was debanned about 26 minutes after being sanctioned. Amazon’s platform then confirmed that it had made the decision to ban Adin’s channel. for the sole purpose of not spreading the incident to too many people.
So many emotions for the English-speaking streamer who took a few days to recover from all this. Meanwhile on the networks, many users shouted fake saying that this arrest would have been fabricated and that the SWAT officers would in fact be actors.
Pokimane comes to the rescue!
In one year, Adin Ross has been checked by SWAT twice and while the streamer believes these are anonymous calls from troll viewers, others think the content creator staged it all. To these accusations, Pokimane responded on stream as she reacted to the scene: “Why do people say it’s fake? Why would anyone fake a SWAT intervention? It’s terrifying”.
Pokimane seems to defend Adin’s version and according to her, he would have had no interest in organizing such a live sequence. It is true that, although it made the buzz on the networks, the excerpt worried many fans who feared not seeing their favorite streamer anytime soon. But all’s well that ends well anyway, the special forces officers just carried out a check after a worrying call, according to the streamer. More fear than harm for the influencer and his viewers!
