Kick Suspends Vitaly After Livestream, Citing Endangerment Violation

Kick suspended streamer Vitaly Zdorovetskiy on October 28, 2026, citing a violation of its rules against endangerment. The suspension came around his latest "Catching Predators IRL" livestream, which featured rapper Lil Pump.

Vitaly shared a screenshot of the suspension notice on X, revealing the reason behind Kick's decision. However, the platform has not publicly identified the specific incident that triggered the suspension or confirmed how long the restriction will remain in place.

The suspension became public after Vitaly posted a screenshot of an email he received from Kick on October 28. The message stated that his account had been suspended for violating the platform's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. It identified "Endangerment" as the reason for the action.

According to the notice, Kick reviewed the account's activity and included screenshots or video recordings as evidence supporting its decision. However, the publicly shared portion of the email did not identify the behavior that moderators considered dangerous.

Vitaly's channel also became inaccessible around the time of the suspension. Viewers attempting to visit the page encountered an error message rather than his usual streaming profile.

The action occurred around a broadcast involving Lil Pump, but neither Kick nor Vitaly has confirmed that the rapper's involvement caused the suspension. No particular interaction or moment from the livestream has been publicly established as the reason for the penalty.

Kick's Community Guidelines prohibit content that puts streamers, participants, or bystanders at serious risk of harm.

Under its personal safety rules, the platform does not allow reckless endangerment or dangerous activities that could result in serious injury. Its public safety policies also prohibit conduct that creates significant disturbances or exposes unwilling participants to potentially dangerous situations.

The rules are particularly relevant to IRL livestreams, where creators interact with people in public places. Kick requires streamers to follow local laws and avoid activities that could endanger others. When deciding whether to suspend an account, moderators consider the creator's intentions, involvement, reaction to events, and the potential consequences of the broadcast.

These policies explain the types of conduct that can lead to an endangerment suspension. However, they do not establish which specific rule Vitaly violated during his latest livestream.

The notice Vitaly shared did not specify a suspension duration or provide a date when his account could be restored. Kick's enforcement policies allow moderators to issue temporary suspensions, indefinite restrictions, or permanent bans depending on the seriousness of a violation.

The platform also considers previous disciplinary actions when determining penalties. Suspended creators can appeal their cases and request a review of the decision. As of October 30, Kick has not publicly provided a detailed explanation of the incident behind Vitaly's suspension or announced a confirmed date for his return.

The suspension notice establishes that the platform took action over endangerment concerns, but the exact conduct that prompted the decision remains unconfirmed.
