Twitch streamer Nina Lin appears to have lost access to her Twitch channel only a few days after she was arrested during the New York Knicks' championship celebrations. People who visit her channel now see a message saying that the account is unavailable because of violations of Twitch's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. While Twitch has not shared the exact reason for the action, the notice is the same one usually shown for indefinite or permanent suspensions. The timing has brought even more attention to the streamer, who has been involved in several controversies over the past year. The latest development comes shortly after videos showed Lin climbing onto the roof of an Amazon delivery van during the Knicks celebrations in New York City. The clips quickly spread online and became one of the most talked-about moments from the event.

Nina Lin's Twitch channel goes offline after arrest during Knicks celebrations

Lin was arrested on June 13 near Madison Square Garden, where thousands of fans had gathered to celebrate the Knicks winning their first NBA championship in more than five decades. Videos shared on social media showed her standing on top of an Amazon delivery vehicle before police took her into custody. At the time, it was not clear whether she would face any charges related to the incident. The apparent Twitch ban has also renewed discussion about Lin's history on the platform. In October 2025, she and fellow streamer Zoe Spencer received suspensions after older clips involving FaZe Silky's assistant, Said, resurfaced online. The videos led to criticism from viewers and sparked debate about Twitch's moderation decisions. A short time later, Lin faced another suspension after a livestream from a Target store went viral. During the stream, some viewers accused her of scanning cheaper products while placing more expensive items into shopping bags. Lin denied the claims and told followers that she expected to return to the platform. However, her channel now displays a notice that suggests a much more serious enforcement action. Unlike temporary suspensions, the current message indicates that the channel is unavailable because of rule violations, which is often linked to indefinite bans. For now, Twitch has not publicly commented on Nina Lin's situation. As fans continue to speculate about what led to the latest action, many are waiting to see whether the streamer responds or if more information becomes available in the coming days.
