A gamer girl accused of flashing her vagina while live streaming herself online playing video games has explained what REALLY happened.

Lea May was playing Dark Souls as thousands of fans watched on via her Twitch channel.

But May, who goes by the username LegendaryLea online, caused a stir when she stood up from her sofa.

To some watching at the time, it appeared that she had exposed herself.

The star, from San Diego, California, was then quickly banned from the streaming service.

A message from Twitch told viewers: "The community has closed this channel due to terms of service violations."

But May has now taken to Twitter to explain what happened - and she denies the footage shows her private parts.

"My revealing leg lift was to catch myself from falling."

Despite her explanation, May has still been banned from Twitch, with the ban set to last for 30 days.

And some fans have even accused her of staging the incident for attention.

One wrote: "I understand it's a business and all, so the flirty and flashy stuff is whatever, but Lea has gone too far."

But many have also rallied around May to support her.
