Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Twitch influencers exposed DrDisrespect Herschel Beahm as a pedophile who was caught sexting underage girl.
At the time, the reason for the ban was not made public.
However, Cody Conners, a former Twitch employee, has claimed he knew why the streamer was removed.
“He got banned because got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product,” Conners wrote in a post on X.
“He was trying to meet up with her at TwitchCon. The powers that be could read in plain text. Case closed, gang.”
Although DisRespect has denied the claims that he was banned from Twitch due to conversations with a minor, other sources have seemingly backed up the allegations from Connors. Former Twitch worker Zachary Diaz tweeted, “so glad it’s finally out there”, while esports reporter Rod Breslau, who previously said the matter had a lot of “sensitivity” surrounding it, simply said, “I didn’t lie”.
The allegations that have been made against Dr DisRespect over the last 12 hours are very serious but seem to come from respected sources. We’ll keep you updated as the situation progresses and more is said about it.
Dr Disrespect has hit back at the allegations, denying any “wrongdoing” was acknowledged and that Twitch fully paid his contract at the time.
“Jake seriously… I get it, its a hot topic but this has been settled, no wrongdoing was acknowledged and they paid out the whole contract,” he wrote.
The streamer was replying to fellow internet personality Jake Lucky who shared Conners’ claims.
Before his ban from Twitch, Dr Disrespect had garnered over 4 million followers on the platform.
