The bizarre incident has left viewers stunned and raised questions about the involvement of another streamer, Ganval.
FOUSEY’S IDEA OF REVENGE ON GANVAL GOES HORRIBLY WRONG
Fousey is no stranger to controversy, and his recent ‘subathon‘ — a popular game streamers play to increase audience retention and subscriptions — took an unexpected turn when he staged a swatting incident during a live stream.
The incident began with Fousey receiving a phone call from Ganval who accused Erakat of his recent Kick ban and proceeded to verbally abuse him.
Fousey’s response was drastic – he contacted the police and falsely reported that Ganval was armed and dangerous. In a dramatic moment caught on camera, Fousey exclaimed,
“Send the f**king cops! Send the cops! There’s a gun to my head right now.”
He continued to provide misleading information to the authorities, falsely asserting that his life was in immediate danger.
As Fousey urged the police to come to his hotel, officers quickly arrived on the scene. The ensuing interaction between Fousey and the police escalated as he demanded their intervention while making claims about his personal safety.
The plot thickened when another Kick streamer, known as Ganval, emerged into the narrative.
Moments prior to Fousey’s swatting incident, Ganval appeared on a live stream, taunting Fousey over the phone call. During this encounter, Ganval confessed to issuing threats against Fousey’s family members and himself.

As the situation unfolded, Fousey revealed that he possessed Ganval’s address and demanded his security team’s assistance. However, the confrontation with the police took a dramatic turn, leading to Fousey’s arrest for his aggressive behaviour.
At the time of writing, it remains unclear whether Fousey has posted bail or faces charges related to his fake swatting prank.
