Guy Beahm, known online as Dr Disrespect, is one of the top video-game celebrities on social media, with 4.7 million YouTube subscribers. He’s worked with the San Francisco 49ers pro football team and been a spokesman for Mountain Dew soda.

He was also banned four years ago by Amazon Inc.’s Twitch for violating its community guidelines. The chat app Discord followed, removing him from its partnership program

The reasons for his banishment from Twitch were never given, but three people with knowledge of the matter said Beahm was removed because he exchanged sexually explicit messages with a minor through the service’s direct chat feature. He also asked a minor about her plans at the TwitchCon convention, according to two of the people, who asked not to be identified discussing such a sensitive matter.

        Yeah, fucking live streaming from a bathroom and actually filming people who did not agree to be filmed

        That's so beyond the pale, I am flummoxed that anyone would try to defend him after that

        The fact that he probably has more money than I'll ever earn is just the shit-frosting on this shit-cake

      Somehow I've never been less surprised by one of these revelations and I've seen like 2 clips of this weirdo. I think it was just him telling a story about vandalism to his home or something but it was bad vibe city.

      I had a bad feeling about him but ultimately decided I didn't know anything about him.
