Midnight Society, the game studio co-founded by Dr Disrespect, has terminated its relationship with the streamer.
That is the day and time that former Twitch employee Cody Conners posted a tweet about the alleged reason for Beahm’s permanent ban, saying it was for “sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product.”
On Sunday, The Verge reported a second Twitch employee who worked on the platform’s trust and safety team at the time of the incident had come forward to corroborate Conner’s post.
In 2020, Beahm was banned from Twitch at the height of his popularity and shortly after signing a two-year exclusivity contract with the platform. Neither Twitch nor Beahm would state the reason why, leading to four years of mystery and speculation.

This video covers the full history of Dr Disrespect. It's quite an odd history. On the day that Dr Disrespect was banned, he was promoting David Icke, an antisemic conspiracy theorist known for the book "Protocols of the Elders of Zion". Prior to the covid lockdowns, he told his viewers that he had put shungite crystals around his house to block 5G waves to protect himself from covid. He's also friends with Nickmercs who is very transphobic. Content warning, the video shows a clip of nickmercs being transphobic and defending Dr Disrespect.
Wait, is that where the shungite not Suge Knight tagline comes from?
yes

Icke didnt write elders of zion, its a fabricated work claiming to be a secret document from a secret Jewish conspiracy that was first published in russia at the turn of the 20thC, but he did endorse it in something he wrote in the 90s
sorry if this feels nitpicky, Icke? More like ick.
