Kick streamer Fousey recently took to social media to address the controversy surrounding his disappearance on October 3, 2024. His management team had initially reported that he was missing, leading to widespread concern among his fanbase and the streaming community due to his well-documented struggles with mental health. However, just a few hours later, Fousey made contact with his team and confirmed that he was safe. Shortly after, he went live on Kick, sparking further worry when he suggested it might be his final appearance on stream.
Now, Fousey has reassured his fans through a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), addressing the incident and updating everyone on his well-being. In the video, the streamer thanked his audience for their concern and confirmed that he had undergone a wellness check, which confirmed he was in good health and didn’t require institutional care.
“A lot of you may have seen what happened yesterday, just posting this to say I am good, I am healthy,” Fousey said. “My team had a wellness check done on me just to make sure I was okay. I didn’t need to go anywhere or do anything, and it was deemed that I was healthy enough and my well-being was a-okay.”
While confirming that his mental and physical health were in check, Fousey acknowledged that he would be making significant changes to his approach on stream. He explained that he felt as though he had been playing a character for the sake of content creation, which contributed to his stress. Now, the streamer is committed to dropping that persona and being more authentic moving forward.
“With that being said, that doesn’t mean that a lot of changes aren’t going to be made,” Fousey explained. “Yesterday, my spiel of word vomit, I had continuously said, ‘I don’t want to play a character.’ Now I have to meet that with action and not play a character, just be myself and do what I do.”
Fousey expressed gratitude for the ongoing support from his fans and reassured them that this is just the beginning of his streaming journey. “I’ve got a great team right now, I’ve got a great community. This is only the beginning, I’m still here, I love you all so much. By the time I’m posting this, I’m probably live right now,” he concluded, directing fans to his live stream link.
In recent days, Fousey has also been involved in public feuds with fellow streamers Adin Ross and Sneako, which has fueled speculation about his well-being. Some fans believed that the stress from these online beefs contributed to his temporary absence, but Fousey has not directly commented on whether these interactions played a role in the recent controversy.
Despite the rumors and concern, Fousey’s latest statements make it clear that he is in good health and ready to continue streaming. With a renewed focus on authenticity and self-care, the streamer’s fans can look forward to seeing a more genuine version of him in the future as he returns to content creation on Kick.
