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.
If all your sponsors and business partners immediately flee you at mach speed over what you sent to that kid, it was certainly well past “inappropriate”
Yep, I (and the rest of the world, his wife; and his agency, fucking CAA) am/are waiting for the other shoe to drop.
It’s the least worst way he could put it in his PR statement, there’s no doubt in my mind what he did was worse than “inappropriate”.
