In 2023, Dr. Disrespect was suddenly banned from the Twitch platform and it was announced that he would never be able to return. He was accused of sending private messages to a fan under the age of 18.
For a long time, the former Twitch streamer did not accept this situation, but he has finally come clean and officially explained why he was banned.
Dr. Disrespect officially admits to the accusations!
The Twitch and social media world has been in turmoil for nearly two years with the ‘Dr. Disrespect drama.’ A few weeks ago, a former Twitch employee claimed that the former streamer sent inappropriate messages to a fan under the age of 18 using the ‘Whisper’ feature, which led to his ban.
Following these allegations, the game company co-founded by Dr. Disrespect announced that they had severed ties with the former streamer and would not work with someone facing such accusations.
In a message posted on his official Twitter account, Dr. Disrespect admitted to messaging a fan under the age of 18, which led to his ban. However, the former streamer claimed that there was nothing inappropriate in the messages.
Twitch streamer Dr. Disrespect, who has faced numerous challenges since last year, has now been fired from the company he founded.
Here are the highlights from Dr. Disrespect’s statement:
“I won’t beat around the bush because I never speak with a filter. I’ve always tried to be open and honest with you all. First of all, I want to apologize to my community, my loved ones, my team, and everyone at Midnight Society Game Studio. There was great uncertainty regarding the incident involving Midnight Society and me yesterday, and we decided it was best to part ways with the company…”
“…Everyone wanted to know why I was banned from Twitch, but I couldn’t explain due to reasons beyond my control. Did I have Twitch Whisper conversations with a minor in 2017? The answer is yes. Did I have any ill intentions in these messages? Absolutely not. They were sometimes conversations that could be seen as inappropriate, mutual, and casual, but nothing more. No illegal acts occurred, no pictures were shared, no crime was committed, and I never met the individual…”
“…Now, having said all this, don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen all the comments and labels floating around. Social media is a mess. I am neither a predator nor a pedophile… Are you kidding me? They want to take me down, but they can’t.”
