While live broadcasting, YouTuber Fousey had a terrifying contact with authorities, shouting out officers, and was hauled in for a mental health examination. Fousey was broadcasting on Kick Tuesday night from the InterContinental Miami hotel; you can hear him yelling at a police dispatcher on the phone while someone from his squad attempts to calm him down.

Fousey tells the operator that someone has been bothering him, potentially even threatening to murder him… and that he has a pistol aimed at his head and is begging authorities to hurry over to his hotel room.

Cops ultimately come and end up cuffing Fousey after all the commotion – and he refers to them as “dumb as f***.”

Youtuber Fousey sent for a mental assessment

According to the Miami Police Department, officers did not arrest Fousey but found that he needed to be sent to the hospital for a mental health assessment. According to those close to the issue, he has been the target of persistent harassment, threats, and swatting – and it has taken its toll.

The accusation of continual harassment appears to be substantiated, since at least one other streamer was live at the same time and phoning the cops on Fousey, informing dispatch that he was armed. For those who are unaware, Fousey’s followers have recently expressed worry about his mental health… after freaking out after he shouted the n-word during a livestream marathon earlier this month while rapping along to J. Cole’s “Love Yourz.”
