Twitch has not officially stated the reason for Dr DisRespect’s ban, but a former employee has alleged that it was due to the streamer engaging in inappropriate conversations with a minor. Dr DisRespect has denied any wrongdoing and stated that the situation has been resolved. Fans were left in the dark about the reason for his removal from the platform, as Twitch did not provide any explanation. Despite the lack of an official statement, the sudden nature of the ban indicated its significance.
Recent allegations from former Twitch staff have brought the issue back into the spotlight, with claims that Dr DisRespect was caught “sexting a minor” in Twitch whispers. These allegations also suggest that he had planned to meet the minor at TwitchCon. Although Dr DisRespect has refuted these claims, other sources have apparently supported the allegations from the former staff. The seriousness of the allegations and the involvement of respected sources have generated significant attention.
The situation is ongoing, and it remains to be seen whether more information will emerge.
