Guy \u201cDr Disrespect\u201d Beahm addressed the allegations around his 2020 Twitch ban in detail on Friday during his first YouTube appearance since admitting, over two months ago, to exchanging \u201cinappropriate\u201d messages<\/a><\/span> with a minor back in 2017. He suggested the user in question was not under the age of consent in the jurisdiction where they lived, and framed the ongoing controversy around his ban as a conspiracy among reporters and disgruntled Twitch employees to defame him. <\/p>\n

The controversy around Beahm\u2019s 2020 ban was reignited in June<\/a><\/span> when former Twitch employee Cody Conners tweeted<\/a><\/span> that the ban had occurred because the streamer had been caught allegedly sexting a minor. Reports by The Verge<\/em><\/a><\/span>, <\/em>Bloomberg<\/em><\/a><\/span>, and Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a><\/span> followed that corroborated the claim that Beahm was banned from Twitch over messages he\u2019d exchanged with someone under the age of 18. The streamer later admitted to an \u201cinappropriate\u201d exchange while denying that anything illegal to place, before later deleting the statement<\/a><\/span> and teasing a comeback on YouTube even after the Google-owned platform demonetized his channel over the allegations. <\/p>\n
