Adin Ross Issues Apology after Facing Backlash for His Transphobic Rant on Kick (2024)

Adin Ross has been in his fair share of controversies to date.

He does not hesitate to make hom*ophobic and transphobic comments on platforms like Twitter, Twitch, and Kick. In fact, he has been banned from Twitch for spewing hateful content on the platform.

Since then, he has been streaming on Kick, an Amazon-owned streaming platform. He signed a big deal with them and was even called a “poster boy” of the platform.

However, Ross did not stop making hom*ophobic and transphobic rants while streaming on Kick. Recently, he was forced to apologize for his statements.

Adin Ross’ apology for his transphobic rant

Ross was reacting to a teacher giving lessons about non-binary pronouns while streaming in late March. However, he went off on a tangent and started criticizing individuals who use other pronouns.

He even declared that his pronouns were “kill/them.” Soon, the streamer was faced with massive backlash.

The community was outraged by Ross’s “transphobic rant,” with many denouncing the popular streamer. A Twitter user utilized their platform to call out Ross shortly after the video of his pronoun statements went viral, and fans learned that Kick liked the post.

The tweet, written by Twitch streamer @mittenskittens, criticized Ross for his transphobic rant and tagged Kick. Users noticed that Kick liked the tweet just hours later, and it is still liked at the time of writing.

People found it by searching through Kick’s list of liked tweets, with one user tweeting a screenshot that has been seen over 60,000 times.

The tweet soon gained popularity, with many individuals replying “W” in the responses, implying that Kick believes Ross is wrong for making such comments. Similarly, many demanded an apology from Ross and even asked Kick to ban him from the platform.

Finally, Ross addressed the problem on April 1, 2023, when he went live to issue an apology. While everyone expected an apology, the Kick star, in his own words, “apologized for absolutely [expletive] nothing.”

But, he soon backtracked and apologized before emphasizing how he would be more careful with his words in the future. He said that the world was crazy, and he would slow down when he would instruct “someone to do anything, like kill or threaten.”

“I would never in any type of way want anyone to ever harm themselves or do something violent with something that I’ve said. So, I’m going to be cautious on that end,” he concluded.

Adin Ross’s controversies

Following the arrest of influencer Andrew Tate in Romania on December 29, 2022, five persons, including Ross, were permitted to see Tate in custody. He stated that he was traveling to Romania but was denied entry by the Romanian authorities.

He tweeted to Joe Biden to pardon Tate. Tate is a controversial figure, but Ross remains committed to him.

Ross was also embroiled in a Twitch “hot-tub stream” dispute with prominent streamer Amouranth, which sparked some fan outrage. He was banned from Twitch on April 10, 2021, after YouTuber Zias accepted a phone call and called Ross a slur.

Ross attempted to defend himself against the ban by telling Twitch employees that he did not speak the phrase and was not in the room then. Twitch clarified that he would be permitted to stream based on this information.

He was banned until April 2021. Ross was banned indefinitely a year later, on April 20, 2022, for using hateful slurs or symbols.

The decision was made in response to video evidence that Ross uttered a hom*ophobic slur during Twitch broadcaster YourRAGE’s live stream. He was later able to start streaming in June 2022.

On February 25, 2023, Ross was banned from Twitch for the eighth time for hateful conduct after displaying his poorly controlled Kick chat on the screen, which was overrun with racist and antisemitic insults.

“I was really sad about that,” said the YouTuber.

Colleen Ballinger has been facing backlash, and multiple companies have ended ties with her since she was accused of grooming young viewers.

The YouTuber has since been sharing her “dark times” following the accusations. Now, the YouTuber has opened up about how she lost out on a Broadway audition last year over her grooming allegations.

On Thursday, January 11, 2024, Ballinger uploaded a new vlog on her YouTube channel titled ‘My Big Audition!’ In the new video, she went into the details of losing out on a big Broadway opportunity.

She mentioned that the auditions didn’t work out and was sad about it. She also said that she lost the Broadway opportunity right after she was accused of grooming, an accusation which she claimed was made up.

She stated, “It didn’t work out and I was really sad about that. I’m not going to get super into it but obviously, a lot happened last year, a lot was said last year. I lost that opportunity right after a story came out about me that was just completely made up and it is what it is.”

“We’re moving forward. I already got to do a Broadway show, and I’m so grateful for that. What a cool, wonderful, and beautiful experience that was for me,” Ballinger added. She said she was grateful for that opportunity as it was her ultimate dream to be on Broadway.

Her statement read, “I’m so grateful that I ever got to do it because my ultimate dream, if you know me at all since I was a little girl, was to be on Broadway.” She further reflected on the opportunity and admitted that she was “excited to see that dream come true again.”

But Ballinger then reconciled with the fact that the “dream has already come true.” As she continued, she said she finally understood why her viewers wanted an update, as she had conveyed so much of the audition process in her videos throughout 2023.

She stated, “I shared that audition process with you, so I understand why everyone is so curious to know what happened, but I’m not going to sit here and have a pity party about it. I definitely already had a pity party about that one, believe me, and now I’m just trying to look at everything with a different lens.”

Ballinger’s grooming accusations first surfaced in 2020 when Adam McIntyre, a former fan and YouTuber, spoke up against her. He accused her of grooming him and claimed that her behavior towards her fans wasn’t good.

However, nobody believed McIntyre then, and many of Ballinger’s fans defended her and accused McIntyre of lying. This led to the topic being faded and forgotten until McIntyre uploaded another video about Ballinger on June 4, 2023.

In the video, which was over an hour long, he opened up about his relationship with Ballinger and how he felt she was using him and other fans as per her needs. Likewise, in another video, he mentioned being a part of a group chat with Ballinger and other fans.

McIntyre claimed that when all of this was happening, Ballinger was already in her 30s, whereas most of the fans in the group chat were between 14 and 16. But the age didn’t stop Ballinger from commenting on their looks, encouraging bullying, and asking inappropriate questions.

“This woman groomed me,” McIntyre mentioned. Additionally, McIntyre showed multiple screenshots of his time in the group chats. Some of the pictures showed Ballinger asking very inappropriate questions.

As McIntyre went on, he claimed that Ballinger, also known as Miranda Sings, used love-bombing to make him feel special and praised and encouraged him to run her social media handles without pay. All this ultimately ended their friendship.

McIntyre later realized that Ballinger had been grooming him and decided to stand up and talk about his experience. Since he spoke against her, other fans in the group chat have also opened up about their experiences of being groomed or used by Ballinger.

In addition to Ballinger, fans have accused the YouTuber’s sister, Rachel, and her best friend, Kory DeSoto, of grooming. All three have received major backlash since the grooming scandal came to light, and many sponsors have ended their contracts.

“They are living separate lives,” said the source.

It looks like the end is near for Bruno Mars’ long-time relationship with his girlfriend, Jessica Caban.

As per reports, the American singer-songwriter and his girlfriend’s relationship might end up in a break up, considering the two are reportedly living apart as of this moment.

On Wednesday, January 10, 2024, an inside source close to the couple told The Sun that Mars and Caban weren’t together to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The source also stressed that Mars’ busy touring schedule has kept them apart.

The source, a friend of the love birds, stated, “Bruno and Jessica barely spend time together anymore — it is really sad. They are living separate lives, so it doesn’t bode well for their relationship. It feels like things are fizzling out between them.”

“They have so much history together, but we aren’t sure whether they will be able to save things this time. It would be hard for them to say goodbye, but perhaps it’s for the best at this point,” the source added.

The Sun also mentioned that Mars’ reluctance to take his relationship with his girlfriend of 13 years to another level, aka share the wedding vows, has added more pressure on their relationship.

DeuxMoi had also hinted at the duo’s alleged forthcoming split a couple of weeks ago. An anonymous tipster had told the popular Instagram gossip account, in one of their , that Mars and Caban’s relationship was fizzling out.

They wrote, “Bruno Mars (ex) girlfriend not wearing any engagement ring? Could it be they split!???” To this info, DeuxMoi replied, “OMG we just talked about this on this week’s podcast episode. We could have used this info.”

The engagement in question refers to a previous report by DeuxMoi, where a source claimed that Mars and Caban had gotten engaged. The claim was agreed upon by Caban’s friend, who mentioned that Caban had been donning an engagement ring for a while.

Returning to the topic, on DeuxMoi’s Q&A session on January 10, 2024, another tipster mentioned the same thing reported by The Sun. The tipster wrote, “Bruno Mars and Jessica spent Christmas and New Year apart! Getting more obvious they split.”

As of this writing, neither Mars nor Caban has responded to the claims of their relationship fizzling out. The singer’s reps have also not made a comment. That said, Mars often likes to keep the details of his dating life away from the media.

Coming over to Mars’ relationship with his girlfriend, they first met in 2010 at a restaurant in New York. At the time, there were reports of them dating, officially confirmed via Caban’s tweet on October 7, 2012, when she shared a picture of herself and Mars.

Since then, the two have always been together, being each other’s support system. However, they did all this and more while keeping their togetherness out of the eye of the media and public.

Nonetheless, Mars occasionally mentioned Caban in his acceptance speeches and talked about their relationship in some of his interviews. For instance, when he won the Best Pop Vocal Album award in 2014, he said, “Jessica, I love you” onstage.

Years later, when he won the Record of the Year award in 2018, he went onstage and gushed about his life partner. He said, “My lady, Jessica, I love you, baby. Thank you for being my rock and being on my side throughout this whole process.”

Likewise, during his 2016 interview with Rolling Stone, he was asked if he would propose to Caban sometime soon. He replied that she was his best friend and they were “just happy.” His full answer read, “She’s my best friend. My rock. What’s wrong with that? We’re just happy.”

As years passed, things seemed blissful between the love birds, with one rumor claiming they were expanding their family. But these pregnancy rumors were never confirmed. And since Mars and Caban aren’t parents yet, it can be regarded as false.

Fast forward to 2024, Mars and Caban’s relationship is now in question. As mentioned earlier, reports claim they are living a separate life, hinting there might be a possible break up. For now, fans have to wait and see what happens next!
