Fans speculate as Dr. Disrespect uploads cryptic new photo weeks after Twitch ban

The reason behind his Twitch ban was revealed last month

Weeks after revealing details about his long-standing Twitch ban, Dr Disrespect has uploaded a mysterious new photo on social media, and it's left fans of the controversial creator speculating.

Dr Disrespect - whose real name is Herschel ‘Guy’ Beahm IV - first gained a following on YouTube playing games from the Call of Duty franchise and Fortnite, before he starting streaming gaming content on Twitch.

However, in 2020, the 42-year-old was permanently banned from Twitch for then-undisclosed reasons.

And last month, we finally found out why.

On June 22, former Account Director of Strategic Partnership at Twitch, Cody Conners, alleged that the influencer had been banned because he got caught sexting a minor in the then-existing Twitch Whispers product.

Conners further claimed that Beahm was 'trying to meet up' with the juvenile and TwitchCon.

A few days later, the creator confirmed that he'd had conversations with an 'individual minor' in 2017, calling the messages 'inappropriate.'

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he wrote: "Were there Twitch Whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes," he confirmed. "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.

"Nothing illegal happened, no pictures were shared, no crimes were committed, I never even met the individual."

Beahm then announced that he'd be taking an extended break.

Now, just weeks later, the streamer has uploaded a new header image on X.

On July 22, the image changed to a fishing bobber featuring his brands logo afloat in some waves during sunset.

Taking to the site, fans have started speculating about what the cryptic post means.

One user wrote: "I mean, IMO – it’s a small fishing bobber floating on dark waters, evokes feelings of isolation and vulnerability, symbolizing being adrift in a vast, unpredictable environment. Inviting reflection on solitude amidst chaos. Quite a deep perspective but who knows."

"Before everything went down he mentioned an extended vacation. Fishing is somewhat associated with a vacation," another suggested.

And a third pointed out "He still has Midnight Society and Black Steel Bourbon in his bio. Not sure why, because they both publicly parted ways with him."

Three days after the allegations against him were made, Dr Disrespect stepped down from Midnight Society Game Studio.

Following his social media statement, Midnight Society co-founder Robert Bowling wrote to his 442,600 X followers: "This is a statement from me personally. It does not reflect any of my companies and has not gone through any legal or PR approvals.

"If you inappropriately message a minor. I can not work with you. Period. I promised to only act on facts, and I did."
