Streamers close to Herschel “Dr Disrespect” Beahm have reacted to him admitting he inappropriately interacted with a minor on Twitch.
Dr Disrespect was permanently banned from Twitch in 2020, leaving fans wondering what happened ever since. While he initially claimed he didn’t know why it happened, inside sources recently alleged that Dr Disrespect had used Twitch Whispers to privately message a minor. At first, Doc denied these claims and his fans were quick to point out that no evidence had been publicly shared to support the accusations.
Now, Dr Disrespect has decided to come clean before “riding off into the sunset.”
Dr Disrespect admits he sexted a minor
Earlier today, Dr Disrespect announced on X that he was banned from Twitch for using Twitch Whisper to message a minor in 2017. He claimed, however, that there were “no real intentions” behind the messages and that maybe it had been a bit inappropriate but “nothing more.” He went on to say he never met the minor.
“Now, from a moral standpoint I’ll absolutely take responsibility. I should have never entertained these conversations to begin with. That’s on me. That’s on me as an adult, a husband, and a father. It should have never happened. I get it. I’m not perfect and I’ll f—ing own my s—. This was stupid.”
Dr Disrespect went on to say that he was not a pedophile and that any labels were an exaggeration.
Nickmercs, TimTheTatman react to Dr Disrespect
When the Two-Time shared his side of the story, the streaming community as a whole immediately condemned him for his actions. Many felt he was trying to downplay what he had done and warned him to “go away” as he originally intended.
Two supporters and long-time friends of Doc, Timothy “TimTheTatman” Betar and Nick “Nickmercs” Kolcheff, have now spoken out about the admission after fans demanded answers for over a day. Nickmercs was especially dogged on since he had previously accused the LGBTQ+ community of harming children yet appeared chummy with Dr Disrespect.
“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,” Nickmercs said. “That’s unacceptable. There’s no excuse for something like that. I can’t support it. I can’t defend it.”
Nickmercs said he’s torn up over the situation since he has played a lot of games with Dr Disrespect.
TimTheTatman added that it was “eating him up” but found the situation “awful.”
