One of streaming’s greatest mysteries is the permanent Twitch ban in 2020 imposed on renowned content creator Dr Disrespect. For four years, the reason for the ban was kept secret from the public, and despite some claiming to know the truth, no one wanted to spill the beans.
Dr Disrespect is ready to drop Twitch bans
Things had remained relatively quiet since the streamer and Twitch reached a settlement in 2022, but speculation reached a fever pitch in June 2024 after a former employee of the platform alleged that an anonymous streamer was sexting with a minor via Twitch DMs. An online frenzy has since erupted as fans, creators, and journalists have spoken out about the situation. Many, including influencer Jake Lucky, believe the allegations are in reference to Dr Disrespect’s ban.
Here's what we know about the June 2024 allegations against the anonymous streamer, and why so many people seem to be linking them to Dr Disrespect.
On June 21, former Twitch employee Cody Conners alleged that a streamer, who was not named, was banned from the platform after he was caught inappropriately messaging an underage viewer. According to Conners, the interaction took place on the Twitch Whisper messaging platform.
