ExtraEmily is a popular streamer on Twitch, where she boasts over 260,000 followers. She’s also a part of prominent streaming org OTK, which includes other top broadcasters like Asmongold, Emiru, Sodapoppin, and more.
ExtraEmily is known for her bubbly personality and high-energy content – but over the past couple weeks, viewers grew concerned about the star due to some of her recent streams.
For instance, Emily drew both criticism and concern after walking in the middle of a busy highway in late September, leaving viewers worried about her safety.
In October, Emily once again drew backlash for using her phone while driving during a live stream. Twitch has been known to ban broadcasters who text and drive, leaving many to wonder if – or when – she’d get banned.
