Pokimane reveals creepy reason her ex-editor missed deadlines

Fariha Bhatti Published 01/06/2024

Twitch streamer Imane “Pokimane” Anys has had a fair share of creepy fan encounters, but fans are shocked at why her ex-editor missed some deadlines.

Pokimane has previously shared stories of weird and borderline creepy interactions with fans. Whether it’s someone discovering her home address or stalking her, the streamer has seen it all. However, her recent revelation has fans’ jaws on the floor.

In a recent Twitch stream, Pokimane was reading her chat logs when a message from a fan reminded her of a story from years ago. Before sharing, Pokimane mentioned that she wanted to talk about this on her podcast but decided against it.

However, she has now spilled the beans, and fans can’t believe it.

Twitch streamer Pokimane shares creepy story about YouTube editor

After weighing whether to share it or not, Pokimane finally revealed why her videos were often delayed on YouTube a few years ago.

During her May 31 stream, the Twitch streamer disclosed that many years ago, when she was active on YouTube, she had an editor who often missed deadlines. But since she was satisfied with his work, she never fired him.

The delay made her regret asking him about the reason behind it in the first place.

She said: “You are the person that I have sent hours of footage. I don’t want to know more. I shouldn’t know how much I know right now.”

Pokimane revealed that the videos were delayed by weeks because the editor couldn’t finish his work without inappropriately touching himself to her clips.

“Tell me why he proceeds to tell me that the reason why he sometimes turns around videos a week or two late is because he couldn’t stop touching himself to me,” she revealed.

The revelation shocked her fans, who couldn’t believe she didn’t instantly fire him. In response, Pokimane stated that she felt bad. She understood the impact of addiction and didn’t want to be the reason he didn’t have money, but she was thoroughly creeped out.
