Popular Irish streamer JustaMinx has poked fun at Twitch after being unbanned, with a comedy sketch where she was “arrested” on stream.
Minx started her comeback stream earlier this week dressed in an orange jumpsuit, before being escorted by an actor dressed as a police officer and locked in a cage.
“I’m a changed person,” she joked from within the cage, on the stream titled ‘rehabilitated streamer gains freedom’.
“I’ve repented enough, I’ve said sorry three times, I’m a better person now, I’m changing my ways. I know I’m on my last chance, I love Twitch, I don’t want to do anything wrong. I’m sorry, Twitch.”
“I’m a better person now, I’m changing my ways. I know I’m on my last chance, I love Twitch, I don’t want to do anything wrong. I’m sorry, Twitch.”

JustaMinx was banned for seven days a week ago for saying the word “crack**” on stream.
“Well shiver me timbers, I’m banned for a derogatory slur…” she said on Twitter. “I can’t do another seven days, let me out! Free me!
JustaMinx posted an apology video/song on YouTube here.
And she also went into more detail around the ban and her thoughts on it in this video:
25-year-old streamer JustaMinx has almost 2m followers on Twitch and some 1.7m on Twitter. She’s part of Envy along with other creators such as Alexandra Botez, Andrea Botez and Miko, and is based in the US.
JustaMinx was previously banned in late 2020, as reported by Dexerto, for using “hateful slurs or symbols”.
She admitted she had said the words “virgin, simp and incel” on stream, but was under the impression they weren’t being added to Twitch’s updated terms of service until 2021.
As this is JustaMinx’s second strike, should she receive another, it looks like her next potential Twitch ban could be permanent.
