Streamers Nina Lin and Zoe Spencer's Twitch accounts were reportedly suspended on October 24, 2025. Complex magazine reported that a video of the streamers from May 2024 emerged on social media, which was linked to the ban. The news outlet reported that the streamers allegedly assaulted streamer Faze Silky's assistant, Said (@saidburner).

In a clip shared by X user (@TopClips), Nina and Zoe can be seen restraining and twerking around Said during the livestream, whilst he seemingly appears uncomfortable. X user (@FearedBuck) revealed that the streamers' accounts are "temporarily unavailable" after a massive backlash against the streamers. However, Twitch hasn't revealed an official reason for the ban. In a now-deleted post on X, Said reportedly revealed expressing his discomfort earlier and noted,

"I've been vocal about the situation originally and nobody cared. It took me a lot to talk about it again and for the third time it has hurt me once again, where it'll take time to heal from it again. I've been invalidated by the other parties. which don't realize what it did."

Nina Lin and Zoe Spencer banned on Twitch after a resurfaced video sparked outrage

Nina Lin and Zoe Spencer are facing a Twitch ban after a resurfaced video of the duo allegedly showed them assaulting Said. According to Complex magazine, Nina Lin reportedly issued an apology (@validclipx) and explained the situation during a livestream. She clarified that they assumed Said was "laughing" at the moment and thought it was a "joke." Regardless, she described that it was "wrong" and added,

"He clearly was uncomfortable with it. He was very hurt by it."

The apology comes after other streamers, including Asmongold, allegedly spoke against the streamers and requested they be banned from the streaming channel. Lin claimed during the stream that she doesn't "care" about what other streamers have to say and will speak to Said "personally." Nina Lin went on to describe him as a "good person" and added that she has nothing but "mad love" for him.

Following the Twitch ban, Said took to his X channel and dropped a thanks message. He added,

"still going to make a statement later."

It is unclear if Zoe and Nina are facing a temporary or permanent ban on the streaming platform. While Nina has issued an apology, it is unclear whether Zoe will do the same.
