“This is genuinely going to be my last video ever like this,” he said in a new YouTube video. “I’m never going to make a video like this again.”

This isn't the first time JiDion has been arrested.

JiDion says streaming brings out “the worst” in him

JiDion admitted that he believes he was “spiraling” and “losing the plot,” saying this arrest was a wake-up call, although he has been arrested previously.

“I’ve come to realize that, you know, genuinely streaming makes me the worst me,” he said. “Every controversy and everything that I’ve ever got into, anytime I trended on Twitter for something negative, it’s always been for some streaming clip.”

He pointed to past controversies involving Pokimane, Logan Paul, and other online beefs, claiming that “probably like 85%” of his disputes have come from streaming.

JiDion also said the pressure of live chat pushed him to escalate situations for entertainment.

“You see somebody in the chat say boring or L stream or something like that and then it flips a switch in you where you want to be more entertaining,” he explained.

“I love streaming, but too much bad comes with it, and I don't know how to control myself. And so, the best way to control myself is to distance myself. And so, I just can't stream anymore. I won’t stream anymore, because I actually want to be here for the betterment of society. And what I was doing during that stream wasn't for the betterment of society.”

The creator said he has spent “six plus figures” on legal fees for himself and others involved in the incident, calling the situation “completely unnecessary” and “completely my fault.”
