Justin Bieber Says Twitch Chat Abuse Is Harming His Mental Health

He plans to keep going live regularly despite a hurtful 'lost his charisma' remark that stuck with him.

Overview

  • Bieber began streaming on Twitch in October and told viewers he aims to go live "pretty much every day."
  • In broadcasts on Oct. 27–28, he called streaming "vulnerable as hell" and said anonymous users project negativity with "mean" messages.
  • He recounted reading a comment after an exhausting basketball session claiming he'd "lost his charisma," which he said got into his head.
  • Dexerto reports his channel has grown to about 206,000 followers as of this week.
  • Coverage places his experience in a wider trend, noting Tyler "Ninja" Blevins has streamed less due to "chat baiters."
