Twitch streamer JustAMinx needs surgery after a fall that took place just before going live, which worried fans that were present in the stream. In the video, her father is heard advising JustAMinx to call someone to take her to the hospital, but the Twitch stream then abruptly ended.
JustAMinx broke her ankle by falling down the stairs. In the live stream, she described the condition of her injury. She contemplated showing it on Twitch but chose not to do so due to the fear of being banned. A reasonable worry to have, seeing as how JustAMinx was banned three times from TikTok in one month. JustAMinx is one of the most popular Twitch streamers with over two million followers, so it makes sense that she would want to avoid being banned.

Twitch is not new to suspenseful events that take place live on stream. Viewers on the platform have witnessed a multitude of events like the aftermath of a broken ankle, a streamer's hair catching on fire, or even a thief caught on a Twitch stream. Even though the incident with JustAMinx was not seen on stream, JustAMinx posted on Twitter to update fans after, revealing that she was transported to the hospital. JustAMinx posted a video from the stretcher she was lying on as she was being rolled into the hospital's main entrance. She expressed on her alt Twitter account that surgery was needed, but not before posting a photo of the broken ankle that she had contemplated showing in the live stream. She further revealed that surgery is Tuesday, and as a result, she will be stuck in her Airbnb since she can not move her cats without the ability to walk.
As expressed on Twitter, the situation also means that she will be without PC games to distract her from the pain. Streamers have gone on hiatuses for multiple different reasons and have had successful comebacks on the platform, like Pokimane's recent return to Twitch. Seeing as how JustAMinx's injury was shared with her community, possible time off if needed seems understandable.
Further updates from the popular streamer will be expected on the status of her recovery, whether from Minx's personal Twitter account or Twitch channel. Only time will tell what this means for the future of her live-streaming content.
