Guy Beahm, better know as Dr Disrespect, the popular game streamer and influencer was banned permanently on Twitch in June 2020. At that time, the platform gave no public reason as to why the action was taken. However, it was rumored that the ban was due to “inappropriate behavior not befitting of the Twitch brand.”
Four years after the ban, recent developments have provided more insight into what may have led to the Twitch suspension. These revelations have not only heightened the controversy surrounding the popular streamer but have also had significant fallout for Guy Beahm. This includes his YouTube channel being reportedly demonitized. Here’s a complete breakdown of the latest developments.
Everything You Need to Know About Dr Disrespect Twitch Ban
Following Dr Disrespect Twitch Ban, his fan base migrated to YouTube, where he quickly gained immense popularity. However, in 2021, he engaged in a legal dispute with Twitch over the damages caused by the ban. It appears the matter was resolved through a monetary settlement.
While this should have marked the end of that chapter for him, many of his fans still wonder what led to the ban, given that the details seem intentionally withheld. In what seems to be an attempt to provide an answer, Cody Conner, a former Twitch employee according to his LinkedIn profile, tweeted on June 22, 2024 stating that Dr Disrespect was banned because he had inappropriate messages with a minor via Twitch’s messaging feature.
On the same day that Cody Conner made the tweet revealing what transpired between Twitch and Dr Disrespect, Dr Disrespect responded with a tweet stating, “Listen, I’m obviously tied to legal obligations from the settlement with Twitch but I just need to say what I can say since this is the internet. I didn’t do anything wrong, all this has been probed and settled, nothing illegal, no wrongdoing was found, and I was paid.”
This statement further attests to the fact that he was paid by Twitch for settlement but chose to withhold the real reason behind the ban. However, the allegations seemed to have struck a nerve, leading him to post a tweet – later deleted – detailing his side of the story.
In the tweet, he admitted to the allegations of sending inappropriate messages to a minor on Twitch back in 2017. However, he maintained that his actions were not illegal and that he had no harmful intentions in his communication with the minor at the time.
