Dr Disrespect still hasn’t clawed his way back into the good graces of gamers worldwide and probably never will. Regardless, he’s still trying to retain some semblance of a streaming career across Rumble and YouTube, and recently, he secured monetisation again on YouTube several months after losing it in the face of ‘minor messaging’ allegations.
During a recent live stream, Guy ‘Dr Disrespect’ Beahm levelled some accusations at Midnight Society, the studio that he fronted until last June when things turned awry for him. In his words, ‘I can say all this s*** now.’
‘Don’t Get Me Started With That Guy’
Last summer, Dr Disrespect found himself embroiled in (another) controversy, this one concerning events that occurred in 2017. It was alleged that the supersized streamer had used Twitch’s ‘Whisper’ mechanic to inappropriately message a minor, which the creator copped to shortly after – in a way.
That prompted him to lose tens of thousands of followers, be dropped by sponsors, and get cut out by fellow streamers.
Fast-forward several months, and Midnight Society, the studio that Dr Disrespect was a prolific part of until the allegations surfaced, is closing down. For a couple of years, Dr Disrespect provided a massive marketing pull, getting players around the world to invest in ‘DEADROP’, an NFT-backed extraction shooter that will now never see the light of day.
During a recent stream, Dr Disrespect went in against Midnight Society:
It was handled extremely poorly by leadership.
It’s unfortunate.
That tweet that weekend, it should have never gone out. It was never approved by me. They say, ‘after fully investigating’, whatever — they didn’t investigate nothing.
I can say all this s*** now.
Then, the creator fired shots at Robert Bowling, the former Call of Duty dev who co-founded Midnight Society:
Don’t get me f***ing started with that guy.
Don’t get me started with that guy.
Recently, data showed that while Dr Disrespect’s airtime has gone up, his viewership and peak counts are dropping rapidly, suggesting that there’s no comeback in store for the disgraced creator.
