Midnight Society, the game studio co-founded by Dr Disrespect, has terminated its relationship with the streamer. In a post on X, the studio wrote that it was made aware on Friday of allegations that Dr Disrespect — whose real name is Herschel “Guy” Beahm — was banned from Twitch in 2020 for sexting a minor. The studio said that it had launched an investigation in response. “We assumed his innocence and began speaking with parties involved.
Neither Twitch nor Beahm would state the reason why, leading to four years of mystery and speculation. On Friday, Cody Conners, a former Twitch employee, posted on X the alleged reason for Beahm’s permanent ban. “He got banned because got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product,” Conner wrote.
