XenaTheWitch, a controversial Kick streamer, was involved in a viral incident on August 9, 2025, during a scavenger hunt event hosted by streamer Paul “Ice Poseidon” Denino in Austin, Texas.
During the event, which involved several livestreamers racing and completing challenges for a $30,000 prize, XenaTheWitch fired a paintball gun on stream and accidentally hit an innocent bystander, a woman, in the left thigh.
The woman was not part of the competition and had no protective gear, leading to concerns about safety since paintballs can cause serious bruising and injuries.
