The end of Dr Disrespect... | loses sponsors, quits streaming, fired from Midnight Society

This Heliophobian video will discuss Herschel Guy Beahm IV, better known online as DrDisRespect, who is a 42-year-old American YouTube streamer and gamer, who has gained success for his appearance on live streams. He is a professional H1Z1 and PUBG player and has competed in tournaments against other players. Herschel still plays Blackout, Apex Legends, H1Z1, and Fortnite on YouTube Live alongside a variety of shooter games. Herschel was one of the most popular Twitch live streamers, with over 4 million followers on the gaming-affiliated video site, but was been permanently banned in June 2020 for reportedly "serious" but unknown violations of the Twitch terms of service, and made a successful switch to YouTube.

On June 22, 2024, approximately four years after the mysterious and controversial ban of Dr. Disrespect happened, ex-Twitch employee Cody Conners, who served as Account Director of Strategic Partnerships at the Amazon subsidiary, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share new allegations against him which would hypothetically explain Beahm's ban - namely inappropriate interactions with children via the Twitch Whispers app and at Twitchcon that year. The previous year, Beahm had also been banned - albeit temporarily - from Twitch for inappropriate behaviour at the conference as well.

Gaming journalist Jake Lucky was among the first to confirm who the allegations were regarding, whilst Rod Breslau - who covered the situation with 2020 with subtle hints to the alleged situation, said he "didn't lie." Former partnerships manager for content development and acquisition at Twitch, Zachary Diaz, tweeted about the situation as well, revealing he was “so glad it’s finally out there.”

DrDisrespect, for his part, had initially claimed "no wrongdoing was acknowledged," all claims had been "settled" and he had been paid what he was contractually owed. In spite of this, public support was in favour of Beahm prior to June 25, 2024, where in a public statement, Dr Disrespect admitted to the allegations made by Conners, but sought to insist that his actions were "inappropriate" but not "illegal." He also criticised the politicised nature of the "haters" in regards to their motivations whilst reporting the issue.

Consequently, he was fired from game development studio Midnight Society (Deadrop), lost his sponsorships from Turtle Beach and NBA 2K, and has been publicly criticised by Kai Cenat, KSI and other major public figures - including his friends timthetatman and NICKMERCKS.
