"Scripted BS": Reddit calls out JonZherka for getting into altercation on Kick creator HeelMike's stream

A clip of controversial Kick streamer HeelMike's recent broadcast is being shared on social media. It shows Jon "JonZherka" seemingly getting into a fight with two subscribers of the former creator. The incident occurred at a party at Jon's house, which was being livestreamed on Kick. During it, the two viewers got into a physical altercation that ended with them leaving the venue.

JonZherka himself has shared clips from the livestream on Twitter, calling out the men who, according to him, were disrespectful towards him. As the videos of the alleged fight spread on social media, it eventually got posted on the streamer-focused subreddit, r/LivestreamFail.

A substantial amount of Redditors, however, felt that the interaction was not genuine, with one user calling it "scripted," like contentious IRL streamer IcePosideon's content. Here's what the aforementioned denizen said:

Others made fun of the fact that he appeared to be fighting people seemingly far younger than him.

"Get out of my house": JonZherka tweets out clips of him "fighting" with HeelMike's subscribers

The alleged fight between Jon and the two men invited by HeelMike — who himself has been the cause of much controversy in the past — has divided the community.

While official clips from the Kick stream appear to have been removed, JonZherka has shared relevant videos from the livestream on his Twitter page, with one captioned, "Get out of my house."

In a separate tweet, the streamer claimed that he had tried to remain calm after he was disrespected in his own house by the "two dorks." However, he lost his cool after they purposefully tried to pick a fight with him. In the tweet, he wrote:

Here are some general reactions to his tweets, with some calling out the fight as something that had been pre-planned to farm made-up drama:

JonZherka and HeelMike have been at the center of multiple controversies over the years, with Kick coming under fire for bad moderation policies.
