Settlement and Recent Developments

Initially, Dr Disrespect claimed ignorance about the reason behind the ban, but in 2022, a settlement was reached between Beahm and Twitch without admitting any wrongdoing. Recently, a former Twitch moderator provided evidence that led to the revelation of inappropriate messages with a minor.

Response and Fallout

The studio co-founded by Beahm, Midnight Society, announced its decision to part ways with the streamer following the allegations. Studio head Robert Bowling emphasized the importance of principles and standards, stating that they cannot work with someone who inappropriately messages a minor.

Dr Disrespect's Admission

In his own words, Dr Disrespect admitted to engaging in 'casual, mutual conversations' with a minor in 2017 that sometimes crossed the line into inappropriateness. He took responsibility for his actions, acknowledging that such conversations should never have taken place, especially considering his role as an adult, husband, and father.

Public Reaction

Dr Disrespect faced criticism for his statement, particularly for initially omitting the term 'minor' before editing it back in. Many expressed disappointment and shock at the revelation, highlighting the concerning nature of the situation.

Fans' Response
