Summary
The Midnight Society studio has recently cut ties with the content creator Dr Disrespect after allegations about his previousTwitchban surfaced. Herschel “Guy” Beahm IV, also known as Dr Disrespect, was permanently banned fromTwitchback in June 2020, and fans have been wondering why that happened ever since.
Now, Midnight Society has officially cut all ties with the content creator due to theallegations regarding Dr Disrespect’s ban from Twitch in 2020. The accusation surfaced a few days ago when former Twitch staff member Cody Conners claimed that Dr Disrespect was banned because he was “sexting a minor” on Twitch’s Whispers, a currently inactive private messaging service, and trying to meet her at TwitchCon. In Midnight Society’s official statement, the team explains that they had assumed Beahm’s innocence in the story previously, but decided to terminate the relationship with the content creator “to maintain our principles and standards as a studio and individuals.”
Dr Disrespect Is No Longer Part of Midnight Society
Dr Disrespect has talked about the Twitch ban allegationsafter Conners accused him. On June 21, the day when the allegations surfaced, the streamer claimed that “no wrongdoing was acknowledged” by either him or Twitch over this ban. A day later, he spoke about the event again, reaffirming that nothing illegal happened and that the whole situation was settled with Twitch years ago.
The controversy seems to have taken a toll on the streamer’s career, though, asDr Disrespect recently announced that he would take a break from streaming. During one of his latest streams, Beahm reiterated that he did not care about Conners’ allegations and that he was already planning to take a vacation in the near future, so he may end up extending those plans and taking some time off now. At the moment, it’s unclear when the content creator plans to return from this vacation. Also, the streamer did not comment on Midnight Society’s decision to cut off ties with him at the time of this report.
