Streaming platform Twitch has suspended another popular account for nudity. But this time, fans were actually calling for her removal.

As first reported by Daily Dot. Alinity Divine's account was removed from Twitch after her breast was shown on-camera during an April 24 stream. Alinity, whose real name is Natalia Mogollon, deleted the video, but viewers had saved and re-posted it on the service. She confirmed on Twitter on April 25 that she'd been temporarily suspended from Twitch for three days.

"I'm getting a suspension," she said in a tongue-in-cheek tweet. "Our hard work finally paid off good job guys."

As of Monday morning, the suspension has been lifted, but the most recent clips available on her page are from 2017.

Twitch fans have waged battles against Mogollon in the past. Last summer, a petition circulated to ban her over allegations of animal abuse against her pets, after she appeared to throw her cat during a stream. It now has more than 55,000 signatures. In December, PETA said in a statement that the organization "demanded Twitch take her off of the platform." Mogollon has repeatedly denied the allegations.

The suspension over nudity comes amid a long line of removals from the platform. YouTuber and Twitch streamer RiceGum was suspended on April 8 after a woman on his stream appeared to show one of her breasts, Dexerto reported. Twitch user and body painter MizzyRose recently received a one-day suspension for nudity, despite body art being one exception to the platform's strict nudity guidelines.

Given her controversial history, viewers took to Twitter asking for her removal after the April 24 stream in which she lifted her shirt and accidentally revealed her nipple. One user called Twitch's initial reluctance to take down her page "a slap in the face to all female body paint streamers who have been banned for less."

Representatives for Mogollon and Twitch did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.
