Know why Ninja’s wife Jessica Blevins plans to step down from the role as manager after the Pokimane Jidion controversy- With the ongoing Pokimane Jidion drama, hell broke loose when popular Twitch streamer and Fortnite star Ninja Blevins got involved in the argument. Legion of arguments flocked in from all corners, some supporting Pokimane while others inclined towards Ninja. Amidst this, Ninja’s wife Jessica Blevins, who is also his manager, decided to step down from her role.
Starting with the hate raid launched by Jidion towards Pokimane and her community, it went to the extent where Ninja and his wife Jessica Blevins threatened to sue her over defamation when she shared a clip alleging Ninja of trying to help Jidion after his permaban.
Well, even after the permaban of Jidion the Moroccan-Canadian streamer continued to face hate, online. Pokimane then called out Ninja for trying to reinstate Jidion on Twitch, during a live broadcast. She then shared an alleged DM from Ninja’s wife, Jessica Blevins, who claimed that they are considering legal actions over defamation. Not only this, she received a message from Ninja too who denied all allegations and warned her of her mistakes.

However, the threats didn’t take shape in reality. Meanwhile in an interview with Sportify, published on February 4 — three weeks after her threat of legal action toward Anys — Blevins disclosed the decision to find a new manager for her husband Ninja to focus on her own streaming career. She has planned to collaborate with Xbox and OPI, with her husband being supportive of her current decision.
I’m excited to be teaming up with @Xbox and @OPI_PRODUCTS to share their new gaming-inspired spring collection #OPIXBOX. My first color is #SuziIsMyAvatar! I love that the color was named after Suzi, the co-founder of OPI, a female empowering role model! 11 more shade to try! #ad pic.twitter.com/TGXnfY00JN

“We’re realizing that there will come a time, and it may come sooner rather than later, that I won’t be his manager anymore,” Jessica admitted.
“But with how much I’m doing, there’s going to be a time where we need to hire a manager that we can trust. Someone who eats, breathes, and sleeps team Ninja like I have done, and I can focus on my own stuff and take a step back”, she continued.
With an unexpected turn of events, pictures of Jidion and Pokimane sharing burgers and planning for an upcoming collaboration, it’s hard to predict the future of this ongoing drama. But for now, it’s clear that Ninja or his wife seems to be uninterested in the controversy.
