The former Twitch employee who first uncovered the reason for Dr Disrespect’s ban has responded to threats of “repercussions” for revealing the details.
On June 22, ex-Twitch staff member Cody Conners broke his silence regarding why Dr Disrespect was banned from the platform in 2020, alleging that he sent inappropriate DMs to a minor and attempted to meet with them at TwitchCon.
Following the revelation, more employees at Twitch came forward, and companies began to distance themselves from Dr Disrespect, including his own game studio, Midnight Society. Dr Disrespect later confirmed in a now-deleted post on X that the allegations were true.
After this confession, Dr Disrespect, whose real name is Guy Beahm, took an extended break from streaming but returned to YouTube on September 6 to discuss new information about his ban.

During the stream, Dr Disrespect revealed “the truth” about his ban but claimed that Conners did not have first-hand information about the incident and denied ever intending to meet the individual he had DM’d.
“Cody, why do this? What was the point? This was settled professionally. And you, knowing how black and white the internet is, decided to leak the reported reason Twitch banned me in 2020. For what? Why?” Dr Disrespect questioned. “Do you not know the repercussions of spilling lies about the two-time? Do you not understand the consequences of accusing me, Cody Conners?”
“You don’t know sh*t, and it was obvious from your tweet,” he added, further accusing others at Twitch of having a vendetta against him.
One day after Dr Disrespect’s comments, seemingly hinting at legal action, Cody Conners responded with a couple of cheeky tweets.

In his first tweet, he shared a screenshot of ChatGPT asking: “What kind of lawyer do I need when I am definitely not getting sued?” and followed it up the next day with the question: “Siri, when do I need to leave for the courthouse if I don’t have to go?”
Siri, when do I need to leave for the courthouse if I don’t have to go?

These cryptic posts suggest that Dr Disrespect hasn’t fully committed to taking legal action against Conners yet.
Beahm’s Twitch ban led to a significant legal battle between him and the platform, eventually settled in 2022. Although no party admitted to any wrongdoing, Twitch paid out Dr Disrespect’s entire contract.
As there is no further news on any additional lawsuits, Dr Disrespect claims he has “more to disclose” about the ban. Whether Cody Conners will be involved in any future legal case remains to be seen.
