[BREAKING] Twitch Ban 2020: Dr Disrespect Speaks Up, and Confirms 'He will not Return'

JUST IN: Dr Disrespect had finally spoken up... it is sad news for his fans.

After a month of silence, and since the day he was removed from Twitch, one of the top gaming broadcasters, Herschel Guy "Dr. Disrespect" Beahm, had finally spoken up and responded on Twitch ban issue--sadly, he said he will return to the platform for good.

Beahm is also known as a mustachioed "face of Twitch." According to Twitchmetrics, He had gained popularity on the streaming community with 4 million followers, and had averaged about 180,000 views per post.

Although he had lots of followers, it did not matter, and he was not safe from being banned from Twitch. On June 26, he was reportedly kicked out from the platform.

Several weeks had passed, Beahm did not explain his absence, thus making many of his followers wonder. On July 16, The Wrap was able to get his side about his long absence through email.

"I was on a buddy's stream and out of nowhere, features started to disappear from my dashboard. Before I knew it, I was locked out [of Twitch]," Beahm wrote.

"Social media started going nuts so I jumped on a call with my team and one email later, it was all over. It was a terrible feeling. Imagine showing up to work and the doors are locked. I was shocked... Worst yet, I still don't know why," he added.

Theories

Since there is no clear explanation of why Beahm, some online users can not help but make some theories about the issue, one of the theories suggests that Twitch owner Amazon was "cleaning house" by terminating contracts with potentially problematic streamers.

Previously, the famous streamer was reportedly planning to take the "Doc" character to a rival streaming service and start his own. Beahm had clarified such issues, admitting infidelity in a public stream in 2018. After such allegations, he also took a short break.

What does Twitch say?

Meanwhile, The Wrap also took Twitch's side regarding the issue.

"As is our process, we take appropriate action when we have evidence that a streamer has acted in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. These apply to all streamers regardless of status or prominence in the community."

Twitch did not entertain any request for comments from the publication. Since Beahm had been banned, the company did not give any comments.
