Did Kick streamer Jon Zherka flirt with a teenager? Controversial clip explored

Although Kick has not officially disclosed the specific reason for the ban, a circulating clip may shed light on the situation. The clip captures the streamer involved in overtly flirtatious behavior with a girl on Omegle (Ome.tv), raising questions about the appropriateness of his actions. He asked this during the stream:

"We should go on a date. You like famous rich n**gas?”

The girl promptly rejected the proposal, explicitly stating that she was only 16 years old. This revelation added a layer of impropriety to the streamer's flirtatious advances, emphasizing the inappropriateness of his actions. Shockingly, however, the streamer responded by exclaiming:

“I don’t give a f**k!”

Interestingly, the streamer responded to the clip after it was shared by a fan account dedicated to Kick streaming. He said:

"I hate that f**king racist p*dophile"

Such conduct unequivocally breaches the platform's Community Guidelines. Although the precise clip responsible for the ban hasn't been officially confirmed, there is a growing likelihood that the ban was due to the aforementioned interaction.

Although Kick Streaming is generally known for its leniency in meting out penalties to its streamers, in this instance, the platform has opted to impose a temporary suspension on Zherka.

When not facing a ban, Zherka consistently pushes the limit with his streaming content. The streamer is frequently observed making polarizing remarks both on his live stream and on his dedicated X page.

Recently (October 30), he even found himself in the middle of a fistfight with two individuals from the African-American community who accused him of racism. To read more about the story, click here.
