Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm has finally opened up about the allegations surrounding his Twitch ban, confirming that he sent “inappropriate” messages to a minor. But the statement has left many fans with more questions.
Dr Disrespect is ready to drop Twitch bans
In a post on X/Twitter today, Beahm addressed allegations from ex-Twitch staff regarding his 2020 Twitch ban, his removal from the game studio he co-founded, Midnight Society, and subsequent follow-up reports on the matter with additional sources from The Verge and Bloomberg. In the statement, Beahm confirmed that there were Twitch whisper conversations with “an individual minor” in 2017 that were “casual, consensual conversations that at times veered too far toward inappropriateness.” In the same statement, Beahm said he took full responsibility for those actions “from a moral standpoint” but denied being a pedophile or predator, saying there was no “real intent” behind the messages.
THE TWITCH BANHello, I just want to make a quick statement..Let's stop this fucking bullshit, because as you know, I have no filter. I have always been open and honest with you guys about everything I can be open about, and I am always willing to take responsibility… whatever…
"I should never have had these conversations," Beahm wrote. "That's my fault. That's my fault as an adult, a husband, and a father." Beahm apologized to his "team, community, [and] industry friends" in his statement. Beahm also said that no criminal charges were ever filed against him and that "nothing illegal happened." Beahm did not address the allegation that he asked a minor about their plans for TwitchCon, but said he "never met the person."
