Dr Disrespect shocks fans with series of bizarre posts after quietly deleting confession of messaging minor

Popular streamer Dr Disrespect who took a hiatus from streaming says he’s 'back from vacation.'

In June 2024, former Twitch employees revealed that Dr Disrespect, whose real name is Herschel 'Guy' Beahm IV, was banned from the platform for sending DMs to underage users.

Beahm later confessed to these allegations in a now-deleted post on X. This came after numerous companies, including his own game studio, severed ties with him.

Beahm claimed he would be returning to streaming after taking an extended break to spend time with his family. Though it seems gaming might not be his main focus.

On September 3, Doc made a surprise appearance on X (formerly Twitter), posting: 'Are people still streaming video games? What a snoozefest.'

He also responded to his former editor, HobbertEdits, who announced he was leaving the Dr Disrespect brand after six years.

HobbertEdits shared: 'Despite all the drama and chaos these past few months, I am still extremely proud of all the work I have done but it's time for me to move on.

'So, after 6+ years it's time to say farewell to the @DrDisrespect brand and begin a new chapter.'

To which Doc replied with: 'The man!'

As of now, it’s unclear where Dr Disrespect will stream or if he will shift to other types of content. YouTube had fully demonetised his channel after his confession, leaving him without a revenue source on the platform.

People have turned to Reddit to share their predictions on whether he will return to streaming.

Some think he might return to IRL streaming, writing: "I think he is coming back to IRL stream, and maybe even gaming as himself. A full reset may need to drop the character. Just thinking, who knows."

Others believe his streaming days over.

'Fairly sure streaming is over. He is just gonna make videos and post them now. He cannot return to live streaming and he knows it he will be ridiculed and mocked endlessly and nobody would ever want to stream with him,' another added.

One other social media user chimed in: "If he makes any content, you can bet on pre-recorded videos with no live chat and possibly even hidden/blocked comment sections.

"Looks like no video games, and he’ll have to lean into the victim persona, so expect some conspiracy theory weirdo stuff. Or he just plays golf with the weirdos and they do most of the talking."
