Twitch Streamer Fandy Live-Streams Home Birth, Drawing CEO’s Public Support

CEO attention to the home-birth stream prompted scrutiny of Twitch’s rules, raising broader questions about publishing intimate moments.

Overview

  • The broadcast ran for more than eight hours from Fandy’s living room using an inflatable pool, with licensed midwives and an experienced nurse present, and concluded with the birth of her daughter, Luna.
  • Concurrent viewership was reported at roughly 30,000 at peak, with some outlets citing near 50,000, and total views on the recording and clips climbing past 670,000 to about 700,000.
  • Twitch CEO Dan Clancy posted a congratulatory message in the live chat, a public gesture that observers read as tacit acceptance, though no formal policy update has been announced.
  • Fandy said the pregnancy was low risk, a hospital transfer plan was in place, and she did not ask for subscriptions or donations during the stream, keeping ads to a minimum.
  • Following the event, she said she deactivated her OnlyFans to focus on streaming, as online reaction ranged from praise to criticism over consent and the boundaries of sharing such experiences.
