Who was Jean Pormanove?

Jean Pormanove was a successful influencer and content creator from France.

He began his streaming career in March, 2020, playing video games that were popular at the time such as GTA V, FIFA and Fortnite.

Impressively, the French streamer amassed 669,000 followers on Twitch, accumulating over 35 million views.

This popularity arose thanks to his entertaining personality and interactive tone with his audience.

He would often have explosive rage moments live on stream which would frequently blow up online, growing the popularity of his channel.

After transitioning from Twitch to Kick in 2023, Jean emerged as the top French streamer on the platform and ranked as the fourth most-watched on the site overall.

How did Jean Pormanove die?

Jean was in the process of a challenge allegedly involving “ten days and nights of torture”, which he was livestreaming to his audience.

Among the acts of “torture”, the challenge reportedly involved “extreme” physical violence, “sleep deprivation”, and “the ingestion of toxic substances”, according to BFMTV.

The death was confirmed by Owen Cenazandotti, a fellow streamer in a post on his Instagram. 

“I ask you all to respect his memory and not share the video of his last breath in his sleep.”

Jean would often stream alongside his pals Naruto and Safine.

In his videos, fellow streamers were seen hurling objects at him, forcing food into his mouth while he was restrained, and shooting him with a paintball gun.

Naruto and Safine were taken into custody in January 2025 on suspicion of violence against vulnerable people – before being released.

France’s digital technology minister, Clara Chappaz, said he had been “humiliated and abused for months”.

Chappaz said: “A judicial investigation is underway.

“Holding online platforms responsible for the dissemination of illegal content is not an option: it is the law.

“This type of failure can lead to the worst and has no place in France, Europe, or anywhere else.”
