Guy Beahm, known as Dr Disrespect, has admitted to messaging a minor inappropriately on Twitch in 2017. Following this revelation, several of his business partners, including the San Francisco 49ers, Turtle Beach, and 2K Games, have severed ties with him. Dr Disrespect's channel has also been demonetized by YouTube. The controversy has led to widespread criticism and calls for transparency, with figures like Tfue urging Twitch to release the messages. Former Twitch employees have claimed that Beahm knew the individual was underage and continued to send sexually graphic messages. The fallout from these allegations has been significant, impacting his professional relationships and sponsorships, including with Midnight Society's Deadrop game. YouTube's former head of gaming, Ryan Wyatt, confirmed that Dr Disrespect was not offered a streaming deal due to the circumstances of his Twitch ban. Nadeshot and ZLaner have also commented on the situation.
