Pokimane calls out YouTube as her Oscars Will Smith slap video gets flagged

The internet still can’t stop talking about the moment Will Smith walked on stage at the 94th Academy Awards to slap Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith. The moment took social media by storm, spawning a slew of reactions from high profile celebrities and fellow comedians like Joe Rogan and even Jim Carrey. While tons of influencers have posted their takes on the situation online — including full footage of the slap, itself — Twitch streamer Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys is experiencing some difficulties sharing her thoughts about the matter.

Anys notably uploaded her reaction to the slap on YouTube without issue on Monday, but says that now, her video has been flagged as not advertiser friendly.

Luckily, Pokimane’s video remains viewable. Anys said that Jada’s alopecia was a “s**ty thing to joke about,” but ultimately called the situation “confusing” as Smith appeared to be laughing at Rock’s joke at first. Will Smith has publicly apologized and he is currently being investigated by the Academy due to the slap.
