It seems that some content creators will go to extreme lengths to gain attention, even if it means stooping to despicable acts. Recently, a Kick streamer caused quite a stir at TwitchCon by harassing other creators with unwanted kisses and licks. But now, another Kick streamer has taken things to a new low by inviting a homeless person to dinner and then running off when the bill came, all for the sake of winning a $50,000 contest.
This deplorable behavior has not gone unnoticed, as it caught the attention of Bijan Tehrani, one of the co-founders of Kick. He expressed his disappointment on Twitter and even offered to give the homeless woman a generous gift of $50,000. The clip that sparked this outrage showed the streamer, who has since been banned, looking at the bill before claiming he left his wallet in his car and then fleeing without any intention of returning to pay.
In a later video, the streamer explained that the whole stunt was actually part of a competition organized by fellow Kick streamer, Sam Pepper. The challenge was to go on a date with a stranger and film the whole thing. The streamer admitted that the dine-and-dash was scripted and that he had actually given the homeless woman the money beforehand. He claimed that he did it for the sake of good marketing, but it backfired and caused a lot of controversy.
However, a fan on Reddit did some digging and found out that the restaurant had not been paid for the meal. It's unclear if the homeless woman has received the money or even knows about the whole situation, but it is hoped that she will be informed soon. In the meantime, Bijan Tehrani has not held back in his criticism of the streamer, calling his actions "pathetic" and highlighting the negative impact it has had on the Kick community.

In other news, Kick has also faced backlash for another streamer's involvement in a hit and run street race crash. And in a bizarre turn of events, a streamer hired a sex worker for a random person and ended up getting arrested.
