Ninja Threatens To Sue Pokimane for Defamation Following Jidion’s Hateful Raid Controversy

Twitter recently became a battleground for two of Twitch’s biggest streamers as Pokimane and Ninja went back and forth regarding the controversy surrounding Jidion’s hate raid.

Last week, Poki was subjected to a ton of abuse on Twitch and Twitter, when Jidion’s community raided her stream with vile messages. After she abruptly ended the stream because of the hate she was receiving, Pokimane took to Twitter to voice her concerns about the harassment she faced from Jidion and his viewers.

the hate that women receive within gaming has become so normalized, but we need to make it clear to our communities & platforms that it is absolutely not okay.

huge thank you to everyone who spoke up today (especially other streamers) ❤️
let’s make streaming inclusive for all!

However, she faced more harassment from trolls, which caused her to go private on the popular social media platform. Moreover, Jidion’s action also caused him to earn a permanent suspension from Twitch as well.

Since then, the situation has calmed down, with Pokimane returning to her regular streams on Twitch. However, during her recent stream, she condemned streaming icon Ninja for trying to help Jidion with his ban.

After the disgraced streamer received flak for raiding Pokimane’s stream with hate messages, Jidion reacted to Ninja talking about the controversy, wherein the legendary streamer revealed that he will try to help him out with his ban.

In her stream, Pokimane gave her stance on Ninja’s efforts to help Jidion by condemning him for trying to help him “evade the ban.”

“Why Ninja would help someone evade a ban for harassing me? I have no idea.”

However, things took an ugly turn when Ninja DM’ed Pokimane to clarify the statements that he made about helping Jidion with his ban. Pokimane later revealed these messages to her fans on Twitch and they particularly noticed how Ninja ended his conversation with her.

Later on, Ninja’s wife Jessica Blevins also sent her a DM on Twitter, in which she threatened to sue Pokimane for character defamation as the former claimed that she was spewing lies to her thousands of fans.

Furthermore, Jessica Blevins also mentioned that Pokimane was bringing upon hate to the couple, and she ended the message by noting that they might consider taking legal action soon.

In the end, it seems like two of Twitch’s most popular content creators are at loggerheads with each other, and there’s very a slim chance of the two battling it out on court soon.
