Hi-Rez Studios has removed all content associated with Dr Disrespect from Rogue Company, following allegations that the streamer sent sexually explicit messages to a minor.
Guy Beahm, known as Dr Disrespect, faced a ban from Twitch in 2020 under undisclosed circumstances. Recently, Beahm acknowledged exchanging messages with a minor after it was revealed by an anonymous Twitch employee. Following the news several partners and sponsors, including Turtle Beach, 2K, and the San Francisco 49ers, severed ties with him. His game studio, Midnight Society, also cut its relationship, and monetization on his YouTube channel was halted.

On X, they announced that the Dr Disrespect skin has been disabled. Players who had previously purchased the skin will receive a "full Rogue Buck refund" by the end of this week.
