The arrest was just the first of many capers pulled off by the streamer during the subathon. He took his live audience on a whirlwind of emotions as he walked down a Miami highway ranting about his life, career, and personal problems.
Fousey talked about the multiple bans he received on the livestream platform Twitch. He also hinted at signing a multi-million-dollar deal. However, he did express his frustration with the online world.
Is the arrest real or staged?
When it comes to online pranksters facing real-life problems, it’s almost always the story of the boy who cried wolf. Their past behavior often raises suspicion on whether they are actually going through a problem or if it is all part of an elaborate prank.

Fousey’s arrest has managed to do just that among his audience and fans. In fact, the streamer called 911 on himself and claimed that his life was in danger while staying at the Miami hotel, where he was arrested.
While the call is clearly intentional, the online community suspects whether the arrest was legitimate and if the cops who showed up were really cops. Who knows, was it all a staged spectacle just for getting more audience for his stream?
