Deadrop studio Midnight Society has terminated its relationship with co-founder and streamer Guy Beahm aka Dr. Disrespect. It did so after looking into allegations surrounding Beahm that emerged over the recent weekend regarding his 2020 Twitch ban.
On Friday, June 21, former Twitch account director of strategic partnerships Cody Conners said on Twitter, “He [referring to Beahm] got banned because he was caught sexting a minor in the then-existing Twitch Whispers product. He was trying to meet up with her at TwitchCon. The powers that be could read in plain text. Case closed, gang.” Conner replied to his own post on X (formerly Twitter) and said, “No one made the wrong decision, f— him and his boys.”
