The controversial internet influencerJiDionhas recently shared that he got an arrest warrant in Houston, Texas. The warrant, which is related to a YouTube prank in which he invaded the University of Houston and declined to leave, is only the latest controversy surrounding the streamer, who waspreviously permanently banned from Twitch.JiDion is a controversial figure. He started his career back in 2018 with comedy videos focusing on pranking people and often going too far to get attention from social media. He has also beenaccused of sexism for promoting hate raidsagainst female online streamers such as Pokimane, which led to his permanent ban from the platform. After the event, he contacted several other male streamers on the platform such as Adin Ross and Ninja to ask for help, only to fail in overturning the situation, as Twitch promptly maintained the ban.RELATED:ExtraEmily’s Twitch Subathon Takes a Wild Turn with a 24-Hour ChallengeNow, the formerTwitchstreamer has been informed that there’s an arrest warrant waiting for him in Houston. The Houston Police Department issued the order a few weeks after he invaded the class of a college professor to “prank” her, giving her flowers and a teddy bear on Valentine’s Day together with the influencer Damii. The professor shunned the duo away from the class and threatened to call a security before they eventually left. Now, the two men are being charged with criminal trespassing for the invasion of the college grounds.
At the moment, there’s not much information about the case, though.The Twitch-banned influencerhas not talked more about it after the initial tweet, nor has been actually arrested so far. According to Dexerto, the case against JiDion is also currently listed as inactive on the police’s website, meaning that it’s yet to go to judgment and that the authorities were unable to get him so far. DiJion currently lives in Houston, so it’s unlikely that he’ll be able to avoid the police for much longer, though.
The situation for the streamer looks grim, and it does not seem to be improving in any way lately. Last year,JiDion was evicted from his apartmentand all of his belongings were left outside of the house. The event, which happened in the same year as the permanent Twitch ban, seemed to mark the beginning of JiDion’s personal issues and current downfall. Now, with an arrest warrant, his situation may become even worse.
