Disturbing Details Of Dr. Disrespect's Twitch Ban Have Finally Come To Light

In the years following his Twitch disappearance, Dr. Disrespect fought to regain his former glory. But his efforts took a nosedive when Cody Conners, a former Twitch employee, revealed the truth about his ban on X (formerly Twitter). “He got banned because got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product,” he wrote. Another former Twitch employee from the trust and safety team corroborated this to The Verge, confirming his previous use of the now-defunct Whispers messaging app to plan a meetup with a minor at TwitchCon.

Dr. Disrespect, for his part, initially issued a brief, dismissive statement: “I didn’t do anything wrong, all this has been probed and settled, nothing illegal, no wrongdoing was found, and I was paid.” Days later, he followed up with a lengthier explanation, claiming he was initially restricted from speaking out. It was also then that he confirmed that he indeed exchanged messages with a minor in 2017 but insisted they were “casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.” Acknowledging his lapse in judgment as a husband and father, he admitted, “I should have never entertained these conversations to begin with,” he said. “It should have never happened.” 

Despite no criminal charges, Dr. Disrespect was dropped from Midnight Society, a studio he co-founded. “In order to maintain our principles and standards as a studio and individuals, we needed to act,” they said in a statement. “For this reason, we are terminating our relationship with Guy Beahm immediately.”
