Streaming platform Kick has since banned Doherty's account. TMZ “does not condone illegal activity, so we took swift action to ban this creator from the platform.”
Doherty was criticized by social media stars for her behavior following the incident. “We live in a world where fame is pursued more than affection. A kid more interested in recording and texting didn't even check on his friend in the passenger seat; his first thought was his car. This is the disease we face.” ,” streamer Dakotaz wrote.
