Business partners are cutting ties with Dr Disrespect after allegations of inappropriate conversations with a minor surfaced. YouTube has demonetized his channel, adding to the list of companies distancing themselves from the controversial streamer. Reports from various sources, including former Twitch employees and major publications, have corroborated the claims against him. Dr Disrespect admitted to engaging in conversations that were deemed inappropriate, leading to his ban from Twitch in 2020. Despite his denial of being a predator or pedophile, his sponsors, talent agency, and collaborations with sports teams have all ended. YouTube stated that they took action based on their Creator Responsibility policy, emphasizing the importance of protecting their community from harmful behavior. The streamer has expressed intentions to return to streaming in the future, but would need to find a new platform to monetize on, as his current channel remains demonetized.
