Twitch star Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys revealed that she “fell into a depression” after being hate raided by fellow streamer Jidion in January.
On January 13, Pokimane was forced to end her Twitch stream early after being targeted by a hate raid orchestrated by Jidion.
Jidion’s fans spammed her chat with derogatory messages and even came after Pokimane’s viewers, with the streamer claiming that her own fans had been extremely harassed.
The incident sparked a conversation regarding the treatment of women streamers and resulted in a slew of additional backlash against Pokimane across her social media platforms.
On February 15 — nearly a month after the hate raid drama went down — Anys opened up about how the situation affected her mental health, revealing that it had caused her to fall into a depression.
“When all the Jidion online hate stuff happened, bruh… I lowkey fell into a depression,” she said during a Twitch stream.
