Fousey Taken to Australian Mental Health Facility After Kick Ban

Internet personality Fousey was recently taken to a mental health facility in Australia following a dramatic incident that involved both police intervention and a ban from the streaming platform Kick. On November 1, Fousey posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) showing Australian police around him, stating he was being detained for mental health concerns. In the video, Fousey described the situation, explaining, “I’m being sedated. I love you so much. I woke up to lights in my face. ‘Sir, you’re in danger of hurting people around you and yourself. You’re being arrested.’”

Fousey later posted an update explaining that he had gone 24 hours without sleep and felt he was “losing himself.” He emphasized the importance of sleep for his mental well-being and voiced disappointment in his team, expressing frustration with the outcome, particularly as it occurred while he was asleep.

This incident comes just days after Fousey was banned on Kick following a physical altercation with his manager during an IRL stream. The confrontation reportedly escalated from a verbal dispute to a physical altercation, with Fousey ultimately throwing a punch that hit his manager in the head.

A woman associated with Fousey’s team later commented on the arrest video, clarifying that he was taken for a mental health evaluation rather than a formal arrest. She alleged that his detention followed threats he made toward his team members, stating that his actions had raised significant safety concerns for those around him.

The incident adds to recent controversies surrounding Fousey, including a disappearance in October, during which he hinted he would soon be taken to a mental care facility. This latest development underscores the ongoing challenges Fousey faces with his mental health and the complexities of managing these issues publicly.
