Kick streamer under fire as friend breaks elderly Uber driver’s phone during argument
Kick: XenathewitchKick streamer ‘Xenathewitch’ got into a heated argument with their Uber driver, and their buddy decided to get revenge by breaking the driver’s phone.
It’s no secret that live streams can get pretty chaotic from time to time. In the last week alone, one streamer got banned for putting metal forks in toasters, while another streamer’s battery pack burst into flames in the middle of their broadcast.
However, the latest chaos to unfold during a stream is making some viewers raise their eyebrows after one broadcaster took matters into her own hands.
Xenathewitch is a streamer on Kick with over 16K followers, who recently came under fire for an incident that occurred during one of her broadcasts.
Kick streamer under fire after friend breaks Uber driver’s phone
On January 22, Xena was catching an Uber with a friend they’d recently made at a club.
Things were a bit sketchy right off the bat. While picking them up, their driver parked in the middle of the road, causing a close call with a truck trying to drive past them.
While clips from the above incident are available on Xena’s Kick channel, the rest of the VOD from their drive isn’t listed on her profile. However, a clip circling social media shows the streamer getting into an apparent argument with the driver.
During the altercation, their friend, who is filming the incident, snatches the man’s phone and throws it onto the pavement, later admitting to it in the same clip.
The video has gone viral online as netizens chime in with criticism toward the streamer and her camerawoman, but Xena clarified the ordeal in a post on her Discord server.
According to Xena, the driver’s behavior on the road was extremely unsafe. The streamer claimed that, while driving, the man “parked the car in the middle of the highway” and even “snatched” her phone out of her hands, saying they had different Uber apps and arguing that her destination wasn’t the same as what was displayed on his phone.
That’s not all; the driver allegedly claimed that “if we don’t tell him where we were going, we can walk” — causing a heated argument between him, Xena, and her friend.
Xena said that he got “aggressive” and “wanted to swing the door” open. “I informed him that if he touches me, I will tase him,” she wrote. “No grown-ass man is allowed to grab me. At all.”
“Bro was not some innocent driver. I have five stars on my Uber for a reason.”
In a post on her Twitter/X account, Xena further clarified that she was “not even aware” that her friend had trashed the man’s phone, saying she was distracted by trying to cancel the ride.
“When she admitted it again I told her I’m leaving, ’cause I didn’t commit a crime and I’m not gonna stick around for cops when that’s their drama,” she explained.
For now, it looks like Xena is sticking to her side of the story… but many commenters are still airing their grievances against her over the incident in spite of her claims to the contrary.
