After Dr Disrespect, a popular Twitch streamer, was banned in 2020, rumors swirled about the cause. Recent reports have now revealed that he allegedly sent sexually explicit texts to a minor via Twitch's messaging feature. Twitch responded to the #MeToo reckoning in the gaming community, promising action on credible allegations. Dr Disrespect, known for his flamboyant persona, was permanently banned for violating guidelines, leading to legal disputes with Twitch and Discord. Recently, it was revealed that he was fired from Midnight Society for alleged misconduct. Despite denying any wrongdoing, sources confirm he sent inappropriate messages to a minor. Twitch's internal investigation team swiftly acted on the severity of the behavior, leading to his ban. His return to streaming on YouTube was hindered by rumors and lack of evidence of his ban's circumstances. The industry has shunned him, with talent agencies and high-profile streamers distancing themselves from him.
