Controversial Twitch streamer Jenelle “indiefoxx” Dagres has been banned from the streaming platform for the fourth time in just a few months. 

This time, it appears that indiefoxx was banned for not following Twitch’s Terms of Service regarding donation use. indiefoxx was promising VIP status to viewers who donated to her, which goes against Twitch’s guidelines. According to the platform’s ToS, streamers can’t unban viewers in exchange for donations. 

indiefoxx was clearly frustrated with Twitch’s decision and informed her fans that she would be giving VIP on her OnlyFans stream later today instead. 

“I will do all the banned things we can’t do on Twitch,” indiefoxx said, offering that she would be doing a “Banned Bikini Jacuzzi ExtravaganzAssss.” 

How long is indiefoxx’s ban on Twitch?

It’s not clear how long indiefoxx will be banned from Twitch. Since it’s her fourth ban in such a short amount of time, it’s possible that she will receive a permanent ban from the platform. Twitch often claims it has a three-strike punishment system. But going off of how Twitch has responded to OnlyFans models and other streamers promoting sexual content in the past, she will most likely be back in just a few days. 

Many in the streaming community had little sympathy for indiefoxx. In the past, indiefoxx looked down on female streamers who relied on sex appeal, but lately that seems to be the entire basis of her streams. She has been banned multiple times in the past few months for being overly sexually suggestive on stream and for wearing very revealing clothing. 

To many fans, it seems that indiefoxx is purposely creating controversy to get views and attention. For this reason, it’s been hard for people to feel bad about her bans. Instead, this latest ban has been met with eye rolls from viewers who know she will soon be allowed back on Twitch anyway.
