Guy 'Dr Disrespect' Beahm admits to messaging a minor, but says that the conversations 'leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.'

Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm’s 2020 Twitch ban has been shrouded in mystery up until last week, when a former Twitch employee revealed that the streamer had been caught messaging a minor through the platform's Whisper feature. Now, Dr Disrespect has released a statement addressing the matter.

Dr Disrespect shared his statement in an X post this afternoon. In it, he addresses the allegations brought against him, confirming that he did message a minor on Twitch in 2017. However, he claims that these interactions were not explicit.

Beahm goes on to push back against some of the conversations surrounding the allegations. “I'm no fucking predator or pedophile. Are you kidding me?” he wrote. This statement comes following Midnight Society, the gaming studio that Dr Disrespect co-founded, severing ties with him.

Lastly, Dr Disrespect announces that he’ll be taking an extended vacation with his family and that he plans to return to streaming in the future.

      "Yeah, I sent inappropriate messages to a minor but there's no law against that so it's fine."

      This chode is the epitome of toxic gamerbro culture. The fact that his schtick leaks into his real life actions probably shouldn't be super surprising to anyone. He deserves all the negative press he gets and none of the success he unfortunately has.

      It's truly a shame that he's continued to be given platforms to peddle his content to kids who want to emulate him without realizing it's an act (is it though?)

      What a monumental piece of shit.

        imma push back slightly. i think the character isnt that bad, like i watch a streamer(supertf) right now that says a lot of similar "im the best, im the greatest", but in a way he knows the audience is in on it as a joke. he is actually a back to back 2 time overwatch league champion, and i guess some of that is caricaturing drdisrespect himself actually lol, but its plainly obviously its not an ego thing. i do think the doc is similar, when it comes to gaming at least, i dont think anyone is under any notion he is sick at video games

        the other stuff like bathroom incident and i dunno i guess he complains about video games a lot, thats kind of annoying yes

          Nah, it’s clear as all of these horrible things come out about him over the years is his “character” is a child fantasy of who he really is, just hidden behind the glasses and wig.

              No, I’m saying the exaggerated character he portrays is a horrible person and without the wig and glasses, he’s pretty much the same scumbag. His outside persona isn’t far off from his character. Bathroom incident, cheating on his wife multiple times and now this? How much lower can you go?

          I was a big fan of the character for a long time, but over the years it’s become more apparent that the man behind the wig really is an asshole.

      this stupid fucker, why would you admit that and open yourself up to an investigation by authorities that will not be limited to twitch chat logs.

      His original Twitch channel was unironically called "The Slick Daddy Club"
      His character was supposed to be a parody of a creepy mustached macho man... Guess he embraced the character too much

        You should've seen all the weird posts that were going around a while back from a few shackers who are massive stans of Dr. Kids Inspect, they were pretty cringey. Idgi.

        I've never seen him, but I've seen pictures of a dude cosplaying as a child molester and think it's funny that it turned out to not be cosplay.

          I never watched him, but what I heard about him sounded shitty, and "it's just a character he's playing" sounded a lot like "chill out it's just a joke brah".

        I like watching streamers play games at high levels. *shrug*. I even liked Dr. Disrespect in a few vidoes of him that I saw, mainly more in his PUBG days. Wont think of him gonig forward though.

        Really I think my favorite streamer was this streamer called HeyKipp who just started playing the souls games and slowly overcoming all the bosses, was a fun watch.

        I'm a fan of Arcus - he seems super chill and is WAY better at 8 bit games that I'll ever be. It's fun to watch him destroy a game I barely was able to beat on my own. That said I watch him on youtube when I'm bored, or at work (bored at work), not on Twitch, which I don't subscribe to at all.

      Dr. Disrespect touched my junk liberally. he strapped me in to his streaming chair and he couldnt keep his offensive hands off of me. he was performing many red flag touches. i couldnt believe what the fuck was going on. i told the twitch streamer that his company would not approve of a married man and professional gamer touching an underage kid for free.

      can you believe it? Dr. Disrespect did all this. he picked me off the street, strapped my arms and legs down in the Twitch Streaming Gamer Chair seat, and just wouldn't stop fondling my cock'n'balls.

      they definately were red flag touches. the goddamn mods in his chat kept on raising up this red flag every time he touched my junk but did Dr. Disrespect care? NO WAY! he just kept on doing it. I couldn't believe what the fuck was going on, indeed. I pleaded with Dr. Disrespect but to no avail. I told him the Twitch Company would not approve of such a wealthy gamer with a mullet touching an underage kid like me (at the time I was 13) without at least compensating me for the trauma and the use of my body as his own personal plaything.

      this got to him, worrying about his image. he continued to fondle me, all the while ignoring the chat mod's red flags. then he pushed the Gaming Chair i was in through his 2nd floor bedroom window! it was amazing. but surprisingly, after I woke up from the impact, my bank account had $150k in it!!! Can you believe it?????????????????????????
