Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm has finally gone into a bit more detail about the allegations surrounding his ban from Twitch and claims he sent sexually explicit messages to a minor. But the statement has left many fans with more questions.
In a post to X/Twitter today, Beahm addressed ex-Twitch staff’s allegations as to 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 there were Twitch whisper conversations with “an individual” in 2017 that were “casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate.” In the same statement, Beahm said he took full responsibility for those actions “from a moral standpoint,” but denied he was a pedophile or predator, saying there were no “real intentions” behind those messages.
The post also says that no criminal charges were ever brought against him and “nothing illegal happened.”
In reply to his post, several commenters expressed their support for Beahm, while many others pointed out that nowhere in the statement does Beahm confirm or deny the age of the person he sent messages to, nor what was said in said messages.
This is a breaking story. More information will be added as it becomes available.
