Kick content creator Roier "PNKZ" has supposedly received a ban from the streaming platform after allegedly brandishing a knife to attack another individual, with the entire incident being broadcast live on PNKZ's Kick channel. The streamer's page on Kick is now inaccessible, returning a 404 error upon attempting to open it.
In the clip of the incident, PNKZ can be seen bending over a table to pick up a knife. After grabbing hold of the potential weapon, he flipped it upside-down and held it in a hammer-style grip (often assumed when intended for use against someone). With the knife visible in his hand, he could be seen aggressively approaching another individual visible on camera as others present at the scene attempted to stop him.

Kick streamer PNKZ gets banned after allegedly grabbing a knife to attack another individual during a broadcast
IRL streaming on Kick is known to be the originating place of much controversy for the platform, with content creators often engaging with strangers or other participants within the broadcast in relatively unpredictable ways. One such contentious incident involved a Kick streamer offering a homeless woman a meal at a restaurant and then eventually leaving her with the bill.
Within the clip taken from PNKZ's broadcast, the streamer can be seen pushing chairs around to get to another individual while gripping a knife in his hand. While the rest of the clip is unclear, it shows PNKZ eventually returning and placing the knife back onto the plate from where he had originally acquired it.
Fortunately, the altercation did not seem to result in any harm to either party. However, the incident raised questions about the content hosted on Kick and the actions by its content creators to acquire views.
In a major controversy that took place in October 2024, Kick streamer Jack Doherty was permanently banned from the streaming platform after crashing his McLaren. A clip of the moments before the crash revealed that Doherty had been using his phone while driving, and thus was using only one hand to steer the vehicle.
