Dr Disrespect has returned to social media after he confirmed that his permanent Twitch ban was for sending inappropriate messages to a minor.
The streamer, real name Guy Beahm,confirmed the allegationswere true, but insisted that there were no “real intentions” behind the messages, and announced that he would be taking an extended content hiatus.
In July,Doc changed his X header to a fishing bobberwith his brand’s logo on it. Nearly ten days later, on July 31, the streamer posted for the first time since admitting to the allegations.
Beahm uploaded a photo of himself sitting at a board game table with a chess board in front of him, but while he has chess pieces, his opponent is playing with checkers.

Comments poured in with viewers referencing the scandal involving a minor, and Doc shot back at some replies.
Good one she/her.The internet will never fix your real threat… depression.
Not all of the remarks were negative, however. “Did you at least increase the vertical leap?” one asked.
“And got a tan too,” Doc replied.
And got a tan too
While he is now back on social media, it’s not clear what his next move will be, but Beahm did previously promise to return to streaming.
Since the scandal, YouTubedemonetized his channel, countless brandscut ties with him, and his closest streaming friends includingTimTheTatmanare no longer supporting him.

One option for Doc would be to move to Kick, as the site’s staffsaid it was “too soon”to preemptively ban him, even after he admitted to messaging a minor.
