Internet sensation and Cristiano Ronaldo superfan IShowSpeed recently got into a lot of controversies after he accidentally showed his ‘meat’ during a YouTube Live Stream. Following the wardrobe malfunction, he cut the stream short by abruptly ending it. The teenager recently opened up about the entire incident.
Many creators and influencers online were quick to judge the situation and immediately called for the Cristiano Ronaldo superfan to be banned. The stream took place shortly after Speed returned from his medical treatment of his sinus infection which made his right eye swollen and gave him severe headaches.

Speed was seen breaking down and crying as he explained the mental toll he and his family received after the incident. He went on to say “This is truly an embarrassing f*cking moment for me. Nah, really. And I’ve lately been, in these past hours, I’ve been suffering mentally.” He also mentioned that the real reason for the wardrobe malfunction was that he didn’t have any clean underwear so he had to put on pants without any.
The teenager also went on to say that he too is only human and he does have emotions as well. “Genuinely bro, at the end of the day I am still a human being. And one of my worst fears that I never wanted to happen. Like… As a streamer, this is one of your worst fears, you know? And millions of people seeing, you know… and it’s depressing bro,” he added.
Needless to say, it was just an unfortunate accident as he was playing the game “Five Nights at Freddy’s” where he was shocked by a character named Chica which caused him to stand up and expose his genitals in the process.
YouTube will not be banning IShowSpeed after he accidentally flashed his ‘meat’
While explaining to his fans how he was feeling, Speed also stated that the fans need to show some empathy and look at the bigger picture as he has a family and little siblings too. He also shared his heartbreaking reaction to the “IShowMeat” tweet and his siblings’ reaction to it.
After the incident took place and clips were shared it was a given fact that this is going to be the end of Speed as a Youtuber and also a creator as Youtube have a zero-tolerance policy, but in a crazy turn of events, the officials have decided not to ban the American from their platform.

Reporting to TMZ, they said that soon after the incident, Speed deleted the video archive of the stream and hence is safe from a ban as Youtube can’t take official action based on the clips shared alone. While some believe that Youtube deliberately didn’t ban him so that they can keep one of their most popular creators and also so that he doesn’t join the rival company “KICK” which is much more lenient with their guidelines.
Though many are not happy with this decision as many of his viewers are underage children and if Youtube has let go of this incident as “accidental” then some other creators might take advantage of this giant loophole Youtube just exposed themselves.
After he broke silence, many fans sympathized with the young creator. Also with Youtube not banning him, it can be safe to say that the sooner this incident is buried, the better.
