During a recent live stream filled with expletives, Frogan expressed disdain for US soldiers and wished harm upon them, even as some viewers continued to support her with financial contributions.

Identified as a resident of Dearborn, Mich., Frogan, whose first name is believed to be Morgan, posted Twitch’s explanation for her 30-day suspension on X (previously Twitter). The streaming platform categorized her comments as “targeted hateful conduct.”

Frogan’s Controversial Statements and Apology

In a tweet, Frogan offered a somewhat apologetic statement, expressing regret for the initial wording used in the video clip. However, she also criticized the US military for actions she claimed were detrimental to her community.

She tweeted, “The US military has committed some of the most horrific crimes against humanity in recent history in countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine. My anger is directed towards individuals who are currently supporting these war crimes.” Replies to this post have been disabled.

Contrary to Frogan’s claims, the US military has not conducted official activities in Lebanon for several decades. Additionally, while the US has provided weapons to Israel, it has not stationed troops in Palestine. The US involvement in the conflict in Syria has primarily been against ISIS and in support of anti-Assad rebels.

Twitch, owned by Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), is a platform commonly used by gamers and bettors to showcase their skills and promote gaming companies.

In another post on X, Frogan appeared to criticize Las Vegas, stating “GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!” from downtown.
