THE NSFW mishap that has caused controversy around influencer IShowSpeed is sparking rumors of a Kardashian curse theory.
Speed came back to streaming on Tuesday and celebrated achieving 19million subscribers on YouTube after multiple health scares.
The 18-year-old, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr, suffered a severe sinus infection last month that left his right eye swollen shut and was also diagnosed with cluster headaches, a result of a rare condition that causes random, painful headaches on one side of the head, as The U.S. Sun previously reported.
On Wednesday, Speed streamed while playing Five Nights at Freddy's, yelled at one of the characters, and stood up at one point, exposing himself to an audience of around 24,600 people.
The YouTuber appeared to be shocked himself and could be heard saying: "Oh, my god," before ending the stream.

Speed's NSFW mishap quickly went viral online, and peers like Adin Ross have since voiced their thoughts on the situation through short clips that have been spread on social media.
"Guys stop talking about his penis — I don't give a f**k," Ross noted in a TikTok video posted to X, formerly Twitter.
"I've seen it thousands of times."
He added: "I've known Speed for years — I've seen it in person thousands of times, I don't care."
"I saw it, and I laughed, I smiled; I don't care, bro."
Rumors of a possible ban from YouTube have been swirling as strict regulations are placed on exposure, per Google Support.
Content that includes "the depiction of clothed or unclothed genitals, breasts, or buttocks that are meant for sexual gratification" is banned, including "the depiction of sexual acts, or fetishes that are meant for sexual gratification."
Speed's channel is still active at the time of writing, and as some speculate what caused the NSFW situation, a few fans have noted theories of a so-called Kardashian curse given the influencer's recent interaction with Kim Kardashian.
The streamer recently took pictures with Kim and her son during a soccer match between Paris Saint-Germain and Al Nassr, Sports Manor reported.
His health issues and NSFW exposure online subsequently followed in the past two weeks, causing wild claims among fans that the picture with Kim allegedly fostered bad luck.

“In the span of 2 weeks Speed gets rushed to the Hospital and now has the IShowMeat Incident, The Kardashian Curse strikes again," one fan posted on X, per Sports Manor.
Another fan echoed, "Nvrmnd. I know now.”
A third added: "Bro This Is Not A Joke.”
Premier League fans also blamed the so-called Kardashian Curse to be why Sporting CP beat Arsenal 8-6 during the second leg of the Round of 16 in the UEFA Europa League, according to the outlet.
Kim was present at the game.
Some parents don't seem to be concerned if Speed's incident was due to the theorized Kardashian curse, noting they won't allow their kids to watch his channel anymore after the live exposure.
"My 11-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter are both huge IShowSpeed fans. After seeing him just show his dong to all of his viewers, I speak for all parents when I say that we will not tolerate this," one parent fumed online.
"Ours kids will no longer watch his streams and are unsubscribing to his channel."
The U.S. Sun has contacted Speed for comment on the situation as it develops.
