Guy "Dr Disrespect" Beahm returned to the spotlight last week when Cody Conners, Twitch's former account director of strategic partnerships, disclosed that an unnamed individual had been banned from the platform for sending inappropriate messages to a minor. Later reports confirmed this individual to be Beahm, as many had already speculated.
Recently, a former Twitch employee, who opted to stay anonymous, informed Rolling Stone that Beahm had been made aware by the minor that they were underage. Despite this, Beahm allegedly persisted in sending "graphic" messages to the minor.

The streamer's gaming studio, Midnight Society, has terminated its association with him, and the San Francisco 49ers have announced they will no longer collaborate with Dr Disrespect. Influential figures in the gaming community, including Ninja, Nickmercs, and TimTheTatman, have publicly distanced themselves from him, condemning his actions.
Additionally, Turtle Beach recently ended its partnership with Dr Disrespect. While sponsors like FanDuel and others historically linked with Dr Disrespect, such as Gillette, Mountain Dew, and ASUS, have yet to issue public statements regarding their ongoing partnerships, the streamer is facing widespread repercussions.
