YouTube personality Dr Disrespect is losing fans, friends, and sponsors after admitting that he was banned from Twitch for messaging a minor.

Dr Disrespect has admitted that the recent allegations, about him messaging a minor, are true, describing them as sometimes leaning ‘too much in the direction of being inappropriate.’

The bombshell statement has seen fellow streamers, sponsors, and fans shame the streamer, real name Herschel ‘Guy’ Beahm, and revoking their support of him by posting comments and videos on social media and unfollowing him on YouTube.

So far, 41,000 fans have unfollowed Dr Disrespect on YouTube and Twitter, while streamer friends TimTheTatMan and Nickmercs have cut ties with him too.

Since Monday, almost 11,000 fans have shown their disdain by unfollowing Dr Disrespect’s Twitter account, while 30,000 have unsubscribed to his YouTube channel.

Nickmercs, who often played games with Dr Disrespect on stream, says he’s ‘torn up’ about the scandal, but is distancing himself from his friend.

‘I read through Doc’s tweet and in that very tweet he basically confirms that he was texting an underaged girl, and it went weird sometimes. Look, just to be blunt and straightforward, that’s inexcusable. […] I can’t support it, I can’t defend it,’ he said in a video on Twitter.

Another streamer who frequently collaborated with Dr Disrespect, TimTheTatMan, says it’s ‘awful’ and he also won’t support the YouTube personality anymore.

UK content creator KSI laid into Dr Disrespect on Twitter, saying:

‘This makes me so sad man. One of my inspirations talking to a minor inappropriately kmt [kiss my teeth – indicating disdain]. You have a wife and kids. Do better.’

Headphone and peripheral maker Turtle Beach has also terminated its partnership with Dr Disrespect, as a result of the confession.

Not only are streamers, sponsors, and fans cutting ties, Dr Disrespect has also been kicked out of the video games studio he co-founded.

‘If you inappropriately message a minor, I can not work with you,’ said Robert Bowling, one of the other co-founders of Midnight Society.

After he admitted to the accusations and apologised to his community, Dr Disrespect swore to return to streaming once he comes back from holiday with his family.

He won’t have as many fans as he used to, however, as it’s likely that the fan exodus will continue in his absence.
