Guy "Dr Disrespect" Beahm has been embroiled in controversy for a number of years now following his mysterious Twitch ban in 2020, and he's now issued an enflamed response after a post accused him of 'sleeping with an underage girl'.
It seems like live streamers are never too far away from their next controversy, as everything from accusations of slave labor to horrific foreign jail sentences has been on the cards for popular social media creators.
There are few that have been involved in as much mystery as Dr Disrespect though, as the trash talking former Call of Duty developer was once the king of Twitch before the streaming platform banned him without reason over five years ago.
The decision shook the streaming community to the core, as both Twitch and Beahm refused to comment on why he had been banned, with effective radio silence for years afterwards, even after a settlement was reached two years later.

Dr Disrespect did eventually return to streaming on YouTube in September 2024, and late last year signed a deal with right-wing platform Rumble that saw him become the head and advisor of the site's gaming category.
Reports did surface in June last year in Rolling Stone, with Miles Klee and Rod "Slasher" Breslau disclosing that Beahm allegedly was banned for exchanging sexually explicit messages with a minor through Twitch's private message platform.
These allegations cropped up when former Twitch employee Cody Conners appeared to reveal that Dr Disrespect got banned after he was "caught sexuting a minor," although the streamer himself wasn't named.

These claims remain unconfirmed and merely allegations with Twitch refusing to comment on the matter and Beahm himself denying them, but they continue to follow him on social media.
Following another post from the streamer where he recalls attempts to 'cancel' him with these claims, one user replied by alleging: "You still tried to sleep with an underage girl."
This appeared to send Beahm into a state of fury, as he unleashed an incensed response, writing: "Who said that? Wasn't me you brainwashed f***ing idiot. You should hide your depression better... It's way too obvious."
Certain replies have pointed out that, following the allegations, Beahm did himself admit to messaging "an individual minor" back in 2017, but denied any wrongdoing and added that "nothing illegal happened."

"Were there Twitch whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes," Beahm wrote in a now-deleted post on X. "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, but nothing more," he continued.
Despite no criminal charges being issued and the settlement with Twitch decided long ago, it still seems like these allegations continue to follow Dr Disrespect on social media and in the streaming world, despite how much he appears to resent it.
