Beahm shared his version of events on Twitter on Tuesday, saying that while he has been legally bound from discussing the matter, former Twitch employees sharing the incident on social media and discussing it with reporters had allowed him to now share his “side of the story.” The man behind the Dr Disrespect persona with millions of followers said he was banned from Twitch in 2020 over a 2017 exchange with an “individual” that sometimes “leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.” He edited the word “minor” out of the initial version of the statement before adding it back in later after people noticed. According to Beahm, no criminal charges were ever filed.

      He had to be doing something inappropriate for him to get blasted off twitch and his own gaming company and shit.

      Just because it wasnt enough for him to be arrested doesnt mean it wasnt harmless. Probably just means he got caught to quickly.

          And his entire defense is “I never met up with her in person”. Yeah bro because you got fucking caught. This is not the defense you think it is.
