Highlights
- Dr Disrespect deleted the tweet in which he admitted to exchanging inappropriate Twitch Whispers messages with a minor.
- The statement had around 125 million views in the days leading up to its removal.
As a long-time gamer who’s followed the turbulent journey of Dr Disrespect, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions upon hearing about his latest move to delete his admission tweet regarding the Twitch ban. It seems like a game of cat and mouse, doesn’t it? One minute he’s owning up to his mistakes, and the next, erasing them from public view.
As a devoted admirer, I’m sharing that Dr Disrespect IV (Herschel Beahm), famously known as Dr Disrespect, has taken down a lengthy tweet where he acknowledged exchanging questionable messages with a minor. Initially, this deleted post shed light on the specifics behind his permanent ban from Twitch back in 2020.
The tweet wasn’t posted spontaneously, but was triggered by a former Twitch employee, Cody Conners, alleging that Dr Disrespect was banned from the platform for sending inappropriate messages to a minor via Twitch Whispers, an old messaging system. After three days of this accusation on June 22nd, Dr Disrespect released a detailed statement on Twitter, admitting to having inappropriate conversations with a minor in 2017, which was three years before his Twitch ban.
Dr Disrespect Deletes His Twitch Ban Statement
Approximately seven weeks ago, I found myself reflecting on an infamous tweet that Streamer had deleted around August 13 or 14, as first reported by Dexerto. The motivation behind this move remains unclear to me. Just a few days before its removal, Dr Disrespect’s admission of exchanging inappropriate messages with a minor had garnered approximately 125 million views. This recent development isn’t the first time the streamer has revisited his June 25 tweet; earlier, he had removed the reference to a “minor” from it, only to reinstate it shortly after posting.
Currently, the streamer’s sole public response to the controversy is a tweet from June 22nd. In this tweet, Dr Disrespect asserted his innocence regarding the permanent ban from Twitch. He additionally highlighted that he reached a settlement with the Amazon-owned platform in early 2022 and received full payment for the remainder of his contract, suggesting that such an agreement wouldn’t have been achievable if Twitch had solid proof of any illegal actions on his part.
However, it’s not automatically true that Twitch has violated any rules or acted against Dr Disrespect based on the information available. The actions Twitch might take toward a streamer can vary significantly depending on the details of their contract, which remains confidential. It’s worth noting that a report by journalist Rod Breslau in late June 2024 stated that Twitch had reported Dr Disrespect to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, implying they may have found some form of inappropriate content. But this allegation should be taken with caution as it’s based on a public report and not official confirmation from Twitch itself.
42-year-old YouTube personality recently removed a tweet where he confessed to sending inappropriate messages to a minor, following his update of Twitter’s header image that hinted at this admission. The deleted post also featured Dr Disrespect declaring his return to streaming soon, albeit without providing a specific date. This incident has led several sponsors and collaborators to sever their ties with the streamer due to the controversy.
