A Kick streamer has officially gotten the boot from the platform after a video he posted seemed to show him dining and dashing … and, leaving an alleged homeless woman to pick up the bill.
Here’s the deal … a streamer — who goes by the name Dumbdumbjeez on the platform — posted a video of sitting across from a woman named Mabel, who he says is homeless.
Dumbdumbjeez opens the bill, sees the $76 price tag and tells his dinner companion he needs to go get his wallet out of his car … before walking out the front and taking off for a waiting car down the street.
The clip’s gone viral, and Kick’s cofounder Bijan Tehrani says he didn’t find this “prank” that funny … taking to social media to let people know that Dumbdumbjeez was trying to win a $50K contest — and, said he’d receive a ban from the company instead.
Tehrani says the company is happy to give Mabel $50K dollars if anyone can connect the two parties.
BT may want to hold off before writing any checks though … ’cause Dumbdumbjeez says he briefed this woman on the whole situation before running out the door.
He says he tried to rig the contest — which asks people to take a stranger on a date — saying he’d already given Mabel the cash … so, no one was actually harmed in the making of the clip.
Hard to know what to believe here … but, sounds like Dumdumbjeez made need to contact Kick — ’cause right now, the platform’s putting a pause on his account.
