Because JiDion was seated in the second row at the time that the haircut began, many members of the audience, cameras, and possibly even people on the court based on what the USTA has said saw the comedic moment unfold. The tournament organizers took great exception to his stunt at the US Open, but also took it in stride likePokimane did when they collaboratedby stating, “there’s a first time for anything.”
While some members of JiDion’s audience and others entertained by his US Open haircut have voiced their enthusiasm for the clip of that was captured just before security arrived, others have criticized his move as disrespectful. Like with other things he’s done in the past such asJiDion’s Twitch hate raidsor what he did with the NBA game, some Twitter users just saw the stunt as funny despite any potential harm.
