Dr Disrespect returns insisting conversations with “minor” were “rotten jokes taken out of context”

High-profile streamer Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm has returned to YouTube – two months after admitting he exchanged “messages with an individual minor” that “leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate” – accusing critics of a “planned and coordinated attack”, and asking, “Did any of you consider [they] may have been over the legal age of consent?”.

Beahm admitted to behavior that “leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate” with a minor relieve in June, after Twitch‘s broken-down anecdote director of strategic partnerships, Cody Conners, claimed an unnamed person had been banned from the streaming platform “because [he] got caught sexting a minor”. Those allegations were later straight linked to Beahm by The Verge when the publication spoke with two broken-down Twitch staff.

In a lengthy response on the time, Beahm said, “I can now tell you my side of the story regarding the ban. Were there Twitch Whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes. Were there real intentions behind these messages, the answer is absolutely not.”

“These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate,” Beahm persisted, “but nothing more. Nothing illegal happened, no pictures were shared, no crimes were committed, I never even met the individual. I went through a lengthy arbitration regarding a civil dispute with Twitch and that case was resolved by a settlement. Let me be clear, it was not a criminal case against me and no criminal charges have ever been brought against me.”

Since that admission, Robert Bowling – who co-founded developer Lifeless evening Society with Beahm – has distanced himself from the streamer, and plenty of lengthy-running companions fetch terminated their agreements. But now, after a duration away from the spotlight, a clearly agitated Beahm has returned in a combative YouTube disappear whereby he continuously accused Conners and “so-called journalists” of a “planned and coordinated attack”. All this, Breahm admits, comes before a twenty fifth September “opportunity” to reapply for partnership on YouTube and re-monetise his previously de-monetised channel.

In a 20-minute diatribe mixing willing assertion and seemingly unplanned outburst, Beahm referred to Conners as a “fucking rat”, insisting he “wasn’t even involved” in the Twitch investigation that would possibly possibly presumably well presumably search him banned from the platform. Beahm additionally continuously disputed accusations a minor had been focused on the incident that led to his ban from Twitch, asking, “When you and all these so-called journalists, Cody, fired off your tweets, did any of you consider that the Twitch user may have been over the legal age of consent at the time of the messages?” Here is despite the truth Beahm himself previously admitted to sending “Twitch Whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017”.

Beahm additionally insisted he “never intended to meet” the user focused on the accusations, and “never made plans to meet at TwitchCon”, as an different asserting, “I suspect all of you sort of planned and coordinated this attack. These big-time publications, these journalists… act like they’re just gossip channels now, without any real journalism, and real research happening.”

Beahm went on to claim he became as soon as deliberately focused by a broken-down Twitch partner manager who he requested to be changed because he “didn’t do anything for me… he was never on my channel, he didn’t follow me on Twitter, he wouldn’t even inform us about Twitch Rivals tournaments.” Beahm persisted, “Just a few months later, that ex-Twitch partner manager is directly involved in getting me banned. Coincidence? The Twitch user [involved in the case] tells [them] they do not want to report anything to Twitch but this ex Twitch partner manager encourages the user and even directs them to file a report directly with Twitch, even though the user told them clearly
