Mini Ladd Apologizes – Says He was Suicidal
This was apparently the reason for the ban: His last YouTube video came out at the end of 2020. In it, Mini Ladd said he wanted to go into the new year with a clear conscience. He admitted that he had behaved improperly towards his underage Twitch moderator Halley and completely wrongly towards Ashe.
He said that was not him. He regrets his behavior since then.
He explained that in 2017 he had been suicidal. However, that should not be an excuse. Mini Ladd confessed that he panicked over the danger of losing his YouTube career and tried to contain the damage. During that time, he only made things worse.
Also in this video on YouTube, fans are unforgiving. It has almost 174,000 downvotes, with only 57,000 upvotes.
Because Mini Ladd openly admits in the video to having approached his then-underage Twitch moderator inappropriately, the Twitch ban apparently followed.
Mini Ladd had already not shown anything new on Twitch for months before the ban. On YouTube, he also stopped the regular updates in 2021. He has since lost over 500,000 subscribers.
The accusation at hand is “grooming,” the manipulation of underage women to lead them to sexual acts. This is a highly sensitive topic that provokes outrage.
We reported on a similar case in October 2020. The LoL streamer Hashinshin says the allegations of grooming against him were staged by women who wanted to blackmail him:

Ashe thanked the brave women who had shared their stories. Now she could share hers and finally move on.

This is how it continued: The reports on Twitter triggered a backlash against Mini Ladd. He released a relatively short video on YouTube in the summer of 2020, in which he did not go much into the allegations. Mini Ladd emphasized that he was now returning to Northern Ireland to his homeland and would begin therapy.
After that time, he no longer streamed on Twitch. And when he uploaded videos on YouTube, they received downvotes, and he was repeatedly confronted in the comments about his misconduct.

LoL streamer fights for his reputation after Twitch ban, relies on the FBI
After more than half a year of drama, Twitch has permanently banned the big YouTuber and streamer Craig “Mini Ladd” Thompson (26). He had been embroiled in a scandal since the summer of 2020: He allegedly approached underage women virtually. He confessed this in a video and apologized for his behavior. Twitch apparently took this as an admission of guilt.
This is what Twitch says: The streaming platform Twitch has permanently banned the streamer “Mini Ladd.”
In a statement, they say (via twitter):
“We take appropriate action when we have evidence that a user has violated our community guidelines or our terms of service.”
Twitch
This is Mini Ladd on Twitch: The 26-year-old streamer has 750,000 followers, but he hardly streams.
He had not been on air since June 2020, and even before that, he only streamed sporadically. Mini Ladd is a big influencer on YouTube, using Twitch as a secondary channel.
This is Mini Ladd on YouTube: On YouTube, Mini Ladd was a big deal at his peak. He had over 5.5 million subscribers there.
His most successful videos are “try not to laugh” challenges that reached over 12 million views. He also uploaded gaming videos for games like Mario Kart, Golf It, or GTA.
2 Women Make Allegations Against YouTube Star
This was the break: On June 23, 2020, two women, Halley and Ash, spoke out on Twitter. They wrote that Mini Ladd had manipulated them when they were still minors.
Halley wrote that he had contacted her when she was 16 and he was over 20. They had intimate conversations, and he had sent her photos of himself in underwear to show how well-endowed he was. Most of the time, he apparently talked about how he wanted to win back his ex-girlfriend.
Halley accused the YouTuber of having manipulated her and played with her feelings. Mini Ladd must have known that she had a crush on him – he just used her for an ego boost. It’s totally bizarre to say things to a minor that he said (via twitter).
The other woman, Ashe, writes on Twitter:
- She was a big fan of Mini Ladd 4 years ago when she was 17.
- To her surprise, he actually reached out to a group of fans, which included her.
- Mini Ladd then picked her out of this fan group and sought closer contact with her.
- Quickly, it became about her virginity. Ashe said: Mini Ladd asked her if he could deflower her. She answered positively.
As a result, they never met each other, but the relationship remained sexually on a virtual level. After the relationship waned, she felt used by someone she had looked up to (via twitter).
Halley said that now that this has come to light, she feels as though a huge burden has been lifted from her.
