Pokimane is one of Twitch\u2019s most popular broadcasters and one of the internet\u2019s most-watched female streamers overall. Boasting over 8 million Twitch followers, she has skyrocketed to online stardom, accruing a massive social media empire in the process. Unfortunately for Pokimane, fame has its caveats; the streamer has detailed multiple instances of inappropriate behavior toward her due to her status as an internet star, even recording such moments during YouTube videos and live broadcasts. However, one such instance occurred off-camera. The streamer opened up her November 4 Twitch broadcast with a hair-raising story of how a strange man tried to hop in her Uber and \u201caccompany\u201d her home. Pokimane accosted by strange man while waiting for Uber The streamer explained that she\u2019d been waiting on an Uber to pick her up after a trip to the dentist when an older man approached her on the sidewalk and suddenly began asking her what languages she spoke. A flustered Pokimane answered honestly: \u201cEnglish, French, and a little Arabic,\u201d mentioning somewhere in the conversation that she was born in Morocco. The man answered her in French, detailing his own life story before asking her if she was a \u201cbelly dancer.\u201d The awkward moment didn\u2019t end there; the man then asked her what she was doing on the sidewalk. When Pokimane answered that she was waiting on her Uber to go home, the man asked where \u201chome\u201d was. After giving a vague answer, Pokimane\u2019s Uber finally arrived \u2014 but before she could move, the strange man stepped between the streamer and her car, saying, \u201cI\u2019ll just accompany you home.\u201d Luckily, Pokimane\u2019s Uber driver came to the rescue and opened up the door for her to make her escape. Crisis averted, Pokimane made it home safely, and had this bit of advice for anyone looking to chat up women on the sidewalk: \u201cDon\u2019t ask a stranger where she lives. That\u2019s weird. And then don\u2019t ask to accompany her home. If a girl wants you to accompany her home, it will be made very clear.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
