Dr Disrespect Was Just ‘An Influencer’ For Midnight Society, Studio Claims

Dr Disrespect is still missing from the internet after disappearing on vacation with his family following the controversy that surfaced little more than a month ago. In a shocking revelation, it came to light that Guy ‘Dr Disrespect’ Beahm had been banned on Twitch in 2020 because of an incident in 2017 during which Dr Disrespect knowingly and inappropriately messaged a minor on the platform.

He subsequently lost his spot with Midnight Society shortly after this news dropped, per a new report by Bloomberg. In this interview, Midnight Society’s Robert Bowling set the story straight about Dr Disrespect’s claimed involvement with the ‘Deadrop’ extraction shooter project.


Just an Influencer

Robert Bowling spoke to Bloomberg, attempting to soothe troubled waters by stressing that Dr Disrespect was only involved in the Deadrop project as an influencer. From the moment Deadrop went public, Dr Disrespect appeared to be the face of the project, heavily involved in marketing the game and keeping his followers updated regarding the ongoing development of this ambitious extraction shooter.

In the interview, Bowling explained:

His job as an influencer was to bring eyeballs and community to it.

It was explained that he was brought into the fold to ‘exploit his 4.5 million YouTube subscribers’.

Bowling went on to explain that when the allegations about Dr Disrespect dropped online, they held an emergency call, during which Beahm joined and straight up admitted to messaging a minor on Twitch in 2017. On that topic, Bowling said:

We knew it was the right decision after talking everything over with all four of us. We made agreements on what our principles were and are as a studio, and his actions don’t align with our principles.

It’s not known if or when Dr Disrespect will resurface. If he does, some theories suggest he’ll rebrand or relocate to another platform, like Kick. The big question is, will he have anything tangible to come back to?

  • Why was he listed as co-founder of the studio? It just shows how companies all lie. Twitch needs to be investigated for covering all this up and because they have more people who are worse than him that they cover for. YouTube isn’t innocent either since they covered for this too with him and with MrBeast among so many others I don’t doubt all the people in his big crossover video are all sickos too all these people are fake. Discord needs to be investigated too and shut down since it’s not just MrBeast there’s a ton of weirdos on their sharing CP on there like actual girls how is that legal?! They literally attract that crowd. I remember hearing Instagram and Facebook allowed it too and Snapchat but no one is doing anything to stop all this degeneracy. I bet Charlie/Moist is a freak, Kai Cenat, Speed, KSI, Logan, Poki, Valkyrae, OTK, AMP, Asmon, IGN, ImDontai, RDC, Berleezy, Hasan for sure, SSSniperwolf, all these people are sick and should be jailed! Just burn the internet at this point and take all these companies who associated with them down too and Hollywood.

  • Kick is going down the drain Adin is even open to leaving. Doc wasn’t the only one and according to former employees he was no where near as bad as the rest and it’s like 90% of the site. Kai Cenat for sure is a weirdo why do you think he went to hang out with 12 year olds and why do you think he hangs out with Drake and still defends him. All these people who stood with Drake ImDontai, RDC, YourRage, they all exposed themselves. Saw Charlie get exposed by Sneako glad everyone sees him as a fraud now too especially after that Prime Logan Paul shit they guy is fake same with Hasan who grifts off the left but doesn’t believe any of it and he’s rich. All of these sites are filled with weirdos.

    • Eventually because I’ve looked at multiple states where all these streamers live and what their laws are as far as fraud goes

      If any of their followers had any testicles dangling between their legs they would open lawsuits against these garbage cheating streamers who consistently defraud their own stream viewers of donations and sub money

      I guarantee you very very soon you’re going to see at least one decently Big Time streamer that’s fairly well known get what’s coming to them

  • That’s really crazy cuz ever since that game was announced Dr disrespect was almost verbatim saying that was entirely his game

    And Midnight never once denied that claim

    Now he was just an influencer

    Which is pretty stupid because your game is definitely dead now

    But that’s ok
    Nobody wants to play “Tron Extraction Shooter” anyway

    That game look felt and played like it was insanely boring and incredibly empty

    Zero thought

    It’s a worse version of Battlefield 2042s Hazard Zone extraction mode

    I swear to God midnight society in the way they make games reminds me of those crappy mobile game devs that take a game that’s already existed and just add neon lighting to it like those block breaker games

    Embarrassing
