Kick streamer Aaron Travis, known online as Ac7ionMan, appeared heavily sedated and repeatedly nodding off during a March 2026 livestream alongside a homeless man he had invited into his home, prompting chat alarms about breathing and calls for medical help as viral clips framed the moment as a fentanyl relapse after long-term sobriety.
Travis, born September 6, 1989, in Vernon Hills, Illinois, has spoken openly for years about a decade-long heroin addiction that began in his teens, included overdoses, arrests, homelessness, and prison time, and ended when he entered recovery around March 2016. He built a streaming career on Twitch and later Kick around high-energy gaming and IRL content, often referencing that recovery as central to his public identity.
On or around March 15, 2026, Travis went live on Kick with a man identified in streams and follow-up coverage as Henry, whom he described meeting on the street and bringing home with the stated goal of helping him stabilize. During the broadcast the pair stopped at a store, purchased Dozo PERKS 7-Hydroxymitragynine Peach Kiwi tablets, an over-the-counter product sold at gas stations and smoke shops that concentrates 7-OH, a potent mu-opioid agonist derived from kratom leaf. Packaging on the product warns of high potency and restricts use to adults over 21.
Footage that later circulated shows Travis seated on a couch, head tipping back, mumbling, and losing motor control while Henry is sprawled nearby in a similar state. Chat messages flooded with concern that one or both had stopped breathing. A roughly 22-second clip shared on X by the account @clippedhubb on March 16 carried the caption claiming Travis had relapsed on fentanyl with a random homeless man after 15 years clean. That post drew tens of thousands of likes and millions of views within days and was widely quoted and re-uploaded with similar framing.
Travis responded the same day on his own X account: “It was an over the counter legal pill. We obviously had no idea it was going to be that strong. What the fuck was playing in the background?? My god I don’t remember any of this. W stream.” He later posted packaging images of the Dozo PERKS tablets and stated the substance needed to be banned. Community notes attached to the original viral post confirmed the product contained 7-hydroxymitragynine and noted that the compound functions as an opioid regardless of marketing claims.
Kick suspended Travis’s channel for approximately 14 days. He told followers the ban was a reaction to the sudden visibility and that he was working to have it shortened. In subsequent statements he described the episode as an unintended consequence of taking an unfamiliar legal product whose strength surprised him, rejected the fentanyl narrative, and said he remained free of hard-drug relapse. Clips of the incident have continued to recirculate months later with the original misleading captions, drawing repeated clarifications from Travis that the substance was the 7-OH tablets purchased on stream and that both men recovered without emergency intervention.
Public records and earlier interviews establish Travis’s recovery timeline closer to ten years than the fifteen years repeated in many viral posts. Henry’s full background remains limited to descriptions from the stream and secondary coverage identifying him as a person experiencing homelessness whom Travis said he hoped to assist. No charging documents or formal law-enforcement action tied to the March stream have been reported. Travis has resumed streaming on Kick and continues to address recirculated versions of the clip by directing viewers to his account and restating that the incident involved the over-the-counter product rather than illicit opioids.
