Twitch streamer Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins has caused controversy after saying that he deliberately never allows himself to be alone with a woman apart from his wife.
The streamer posted a video following the allegations surrounding Ava Kris Tyson, who stepped away from MrBeast over messages she sent to a minor.
The alleged victim claimed that Tyson had made a 'few edgy jokes, but claimed they were 'never exploited or taken advantage of'.

Nonetheless she and MrBeast parted ways, and she admitted her behaviour was 'unacceptable'.
Now Ninja has come out with a rant in which he claims that he never allows himself to be alone in a room with a woman, apart from his wife.
In a video posted online, he said: “It’s f**king simple. I don’t care who you are, I don’t care what you are, I don’t care what community you’re part of. Don’t talk to anyone underage. Hello? It’s not difficult. Just don’t do it. What year is it? How hard is it?”
He went on to say that it didn't matter who the woman was, even if it was a professional relationship, he would not be alone with her.
The streamer continued: “Even my PR person, it doesn’t matter who it is. I don’t care if they work with me, whatever.
"There is someone else in that room at all times. If we’re alone, I leave. Instantly."
Ninja went on to say that he also doesn't DM any women either, adding: “As for anyone else, I don’t DM anyone. I DM my boys. I DM guys in the community.
"There’s no private messages going on with any girls. If there are, it’s someone like Chica or people in this space.
"And then I let my wife know. If I don’t know you, I’m not DMing you. I don’t wanna get to know you and find out you’re only seven."
It's fair to say that the speech caused some controversy, with several people sharing their thoughts on it on social media.
One person said: "A bit weird and paranoid. But I get it. He doesn't wanna risk destroying his career over bad optics and misunderstandings from the public."
Another said: "Bro is paranoid for real", while another commented:
"Imagine being this insecure in your relationship."
Others came out in support of Ninja, with one writing: "For someone of his level of fame, this is pretty valid."
This isn't the first time that Ninja has expressed these views about being alone with women either.
Back in 2018, the streamer shared that he doesn't game with woman alone, though he would if there is someone else in the same stream.
