Twitch streamer ExtraEmily faces backlash after nearly causing an accident during an IRL livestream on June 28, 2026. Multiple reports say she appeared distracted while driving, including by looking at her phone, and then swerved at the last moment to avoid an oncoming SUV. The incident quickly goes viral online.
Following the near-collision, ExtraEmily apologizes on stream and acknowledges that she made a mistake. She explains that she had recently disengaged or disrupted Tesla Autopilot, which she says contributed to the lapse. Viewers then debate what exactly happened and whether distracted driving played a direct role.
Some coverage also links the incident to prior controversy around her streaming behavior, noting renewed discussion about earlier concerns and any prior suspension of her Twitch channel. However, both accounts focus on the same core event: a near-crash during a live broadcast, followed by an on-stream apology and clarification involving her Tesla’s driver-assist system.
