Twitch streamer ExtraEmily has responded after receiving a 24-hour suspension from the platform over a distracted driving incident that went viral
The ban followed a June 28 IRL stream in which ExtraEmily appeared to look down at her chat while making a turn, narrowly avoiding a collision with another vehicle
She acknowledged the mistake on her July 2 stream and apologized to viewers, but clips of the incident quickly spread across X, Reddit, and other social media platforms
After her suspension expired, ExtraEmily addressed the situation during a livestream, saying she intends to change how she approaches IRL broadcasts in the future
“I want to learn from my mistake and do better in the future, so from now on I’m going to try to minimize the amount of driving I do on stream,” she said
“And if I do drive on stream, I’m going to have the chat off. I just want to do better and not make the same mistake again and again. I do feel really bad. I’m learning from it, and I want to just do better.”
The original clip sparked widespread criticism online, with many viewers arguing that reading chat while driving put both the streamer and others on the road at risk. Others pointed to the incident as another example of the safety concerns surrounding IRL streaming while behind the wheel
Twitch star Asmongold said, “Ngl, they need to just ban streaming and driving entirely. Want to stream yourself going somewhere? Get an Uber or have someone else drive. At best, it is a neutral effect; at worst, it causes accidents and kills people. Pretty easy logical decision.”
