Twitch streamer Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins has stirred controversy with his recent statements about avoiding being alone with women, except for his wife.
His remarks come in the wake of allegations involving Ava Kris Tyson, who recently left MrBeast’s team following revelations about inappropriate messages sent to a minor.
In a video posted online, Ninja addressed the controversy, emphasizing his strict policy of never being alone with a woman who is not his wife. He stated: “It’s f**king simple. I don’t care who you are, I don’t care what you are, I don’t care what community you’re part of. Don’t talk to anyone underage. Hello? It’s not difficult. Just don’t do it. What year is it? How hard is it?"
"I go out of my way to make sure that I am never even alone in a another room with a woman," he added. "Ever."
Ninja elaborated that his policy extends beyond personal interactions, including professional relationships. He said: “Even my PR person, it doesn’t matter who it is. I don’t care if they work with me, whatever. There is someone else in that room at all times. If we’re alone, I leave. Instantly.”
Ninja explained his approach to direct messaging, stating: “As for anyone else, I don’t DM anyone. I DM my boys. I DM guys in the community. There’s no private messages going on with any girls.
"If there are, it’s someone like Chica or people in this space. And then I let my wife know. If I don’t know you, I’m not DMing you. I don’t wanna get to know you and find out you’re only seven.”
The streamer’s remarks have sparked a range of reactions on social media. Some critics described Ninja’s stance as excessive and paranoid.
One individual commented: “A bit weird and paranoid. But I get it. He doesn't wanna risk destroying his career over bad optics and misunderstandings from the public.”
Another said: “Bro is paranoid for real,” while a third remarked: “Imagine being this insecure in your relationship.”
On the other hand, some defended Ninja’s approach, considering it a cautious strategy given his high profile. One supporter wrote: “For someone of his level of fame, this is pretty valid.”
This is not the first time Ninja has expressed such views. In 2018, he revealed that he avoids gaming alone with women, although he would participate if others were also present in the stream.
