Jessica Blevins reveals she\u2019s stepping down as Ninja\u2019s manager after Pokimane legal threat Twitter: pokimane \/ Red Bull Esports \/ Instagram: Jessica BlevinsJessica Blevins, wife and manager to husband Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins, revealed she\u2019s ready to step down as her hubby\u2019s admin \u2014 weeks after she got flak for sending Twitch star Pokimane a legal threat. Last month, popular streamer Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys became the victim of a vicious hate raid orchestrated by fellow influencer Jidion. Jidion copped a permanent ban from Twitch for his involvement in the raid, prompting him to turn to Fortnite star Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins for help. During a broadcast with Jidion, Ninja appeared to text his Twitch representative, claiming he would ask them to reinstate the banned streamer (which you can watch in the YouTube video below). Pokimane called out Ninja as a result of this supposed lifeline \u2014 which ended up leading to one of the most unexpected feuds in streaming history. Ninja\u2019s wife and manager, Jessica Blevins, sent Pokimane a message via Twitter DM, claiming that she and Tyler were \u201cconsidering everything defamation of character and are getting our legal team involved.\u201d While all\u2019s been quiet on this front ever since \u2014 with no word at all from neither Jessica nor Tyler \u2014 it looks like she\u2019s ready to step down from her role as Ninja\u2019s manager weeks after this drama took place. In an interview with Sportify It, published on February 4 \u2014 three weeks after her threat of legal action toward Anys \u2014 Blevins claimed that she\u2019s making plans to focus on her own streaming career and hire a new manager for her husband. Jessica Blevins stepping down as Ninja\u2019s manager \u201cWe\u2019re realizing that there will come a time, and it may come sooner rather than later, that I won\u2019t be his manager anymore,\u201d she admitted. \u201cBut with how much I\u2019m doing, there\u2019s going to be a time where we need to hire a manager that we can trust. Someone who eats, breathes, and sleeps team Ninja like I have done, and I can focus on my own stuff and take a step back.\u201d Blevins is a streamer in her own right with a sizeable audience on Twitch, recently snagging a deal with Xbox and OPI amid their ongoing collaboration \u2014 a solid move amid her efforts to concentrate on her own brand. I\u2019m excited to be teaming up with @Xbox and @OPI_PRODUCTS to share their new gaming-inspired spring collection #OPIXBOX. My first color is #SuziIsMyAvatar! I love that the color was named after Suzi, the co-founder of OPI, a female empowering role model! 11 more shade to try! #ad pic.twitter.com\/TGXnfY00JN \u2014 Jessica Blevins (@JessicaBlevins) February 4, 2022 Jessica claims that Ninja has been \u201csuper supportive\u201d of this initiative, saying he \u201cjust wants to see me happy.\u201d UPDATE 2\/7\/2022 Jessica Blevins clarified her comments in the Sportify It interview in a tweet a few days later, reiterating that her decision to step down as Ninja\u2019s manager isn\u2019t an immediate one. \u201cA lot of articles are speculating after my recent interview,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI\u2019ll eventually step down as manager for Ninja so he gets full focus and time like I\u2019ve been giving. BUT, I\u2019m still happily and successfully balancing managing him and myself. I\u2019m not going anywhere yet.\u201d A lot of articles are speculating after my recent interview.
