After the kick streamer Jack Doherty caused a car accident through his own fault, wrecked his expensive sports car, and was banned from the streaming platform Kick, he is now brazenly asking his fans for money on TikTok Live. Many reacted with outrage when they saw that hundreds of dollars were being donated to him.
Why was Jack Doherty banned on Kick? On October 5, 2024, the influencer had a car accident on the highway. He was driving his McLaren in pouring rain and was not paying attention to the road, instead looking at his phone.
Shortly after he accelerated, the car skidded and the streamer crashed into the guardrail along with his cameraman, who was in the passenger seat. The entire accident was streamed live on Kick.
Even immediately after the car accident, Jack Doherty was live on his iPhone and handed the phone to his injured cameraman so that he could continue filming him.
In the German-speaking streaming scene, MontanaBlack is also negligent while driving:
After being banned on Kick, Jack Doherty asks for money on TikTok
Since he can no longer earn any income through Kick, Jack Doherty has now switched to TikTok. A clip of his appearance on the short video platform was posted on X.
On TikTok, he livestreamed and asked his fans to send him gifts. For these, users have to spend real money. Through his livestream, he collected several, as one could see in the stream, hundreds of dollars.
Streamer blames the car
What does the streamer say about the accident? In response to a question from the chat about how the accident happened, the streamer said: “I slipped on the wet road. I was driving a McLaren in pouring rain. What do you expect? You have never driven a McLaren.”
What is the community’s reaction? People who did not donate to Jack Doherty reacted with outrage. Under the post on X, angry comments swarm:
- “Anyone who sends him gifts should not have the right to speak” (Thanatos on X)
- “Donating money to a kid who drives multiple sports cars is wild” (DREW THOMAS on X)
- “He should rather ask for forgiveness from his followers. He could have killed someone in the accident.” (floridanow1 on X)
On Reddit, a post was made in the subreddit “r/mildlyinfuriating” addressing the streamer. Here, the comments and reactions from users are similar:
Owning a fast car is not an excuse for reckless driving behavior. However, this is also likely the view of the German Twitch streamer MontanaBlack, who has repeatedly attracted attention in the past: MontanaBlack says on Twitch that he always drives 20 km/h faster than allowed: That’s normal
