Dr Disrespect hints Twitch banned him to afford 2 Mixer streamers—likely referring to Ninja, Shroud

The streamer appeared emotional and angry during his return.

During his return to streaming today, Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm alluded that Twitch found reasons to ban him in 2020 to afford “two preferable, profitable, and expensive streamers” after Mixer’s closure.

Appearing to angrily and passionately read from a prepared statement in front of nearly 250,000 live viewers, Beahm blamed former Twitch employee Cody Conners and his original Twitter/X post from June 21 this year for drudging up a legal situation that was settled years ago. But he also made claims that there was more to Twitch’s decision-making to ban him than what has been said in the past.

“The Doc’s termination lines up with two preferable, profitable, and expensive streamers leaving Mixer,” he said. “As soon as Twitch knew that Mixer had failed, go look at the timing, these other expensive streamers needed a new streaming platform, so Twitch rushed through its decision to terminate ‘The Two-Time.’ You see, I shouldn’t even be banned from Twitch.”

Without naming any names, the most logical streamers he could be alluding to are Ninja and Shroud, two of Mixer’s biggest signings that re-signed with Twitch not long after Mixer went under. For reference, Beahm was banned on Twitch in June 2020. Mixer shut down not long after in July 2020, followed by Shroud returning to Twitch in August 2020, and Ninja in September 2020.

During the rest of his statement on the matter of this summer’s revelations, when Beahm was banned for allegedly sending inappropriate messages with a minor while streaming on Twitch, the streamer placed other facets of the blame on his ex-partner manager who said had a vendetta against him.

The streamer described the messages that lead to his ban as “mutual bantering with inappropriate jokes taken out of context,” and not “sexting,” to which be said that he knew the “legal definition of.”
