Guy Beahm, better known in the gaming universe as Dr. Disrespect, is no stranger to the spotlight—or the shadow of controversy. His iconic look—sunglasses, mustache, mullet wig, and a brash personality—has made him one of the most recognizable video game streamers of the past decade, with a whopping 2.5 million followers on X (formerly Twitter). Yet, his fame is frequently overshadowed by scandal.
The latest buzz? Old rumors of Dr. Disrespect cheating on his wife have resurfaced, adding more fuel to the already blazing fire of his tumultuous public life.
Dr. Disrespect, who has previously been in hot water, is once again at the center of controversy. This time, it’s not just about his infamous 2017 infidelity. The new scandal involves allegations of inappropriate messaging with a minor. According to a former Twitch employee, Beahm’s permanent ban from the platform in 2020 was due to using Twitch’s Whispers feature to message a minor back in 2017.
Beahm addressed these allegations on X, admitting to the conversations but vehemently denying any ill intentions. “Were there Twitch Whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes. Were there real intentions behind these messages? Absolutely not,” Beahm stated. He emphasized that no illegal activities occurred and no criminal charges were brought against him.
The fallout from these revelations has been swift and severe. Brands like Turtle Beach and the San Francisco 49ers have severed ties with Beahm, and his own video game development studio, Midnight Society, announced it was dissolving its relationship with the controversial streamer.
Did Dr. Disrespect cheat on his wife?
Back in 2017, Beahm’s world was rocked by another scandal when he admitted to cheating on his wife, known online as MrsAssassin. In a tearful confession video, stripped of his Dr. Disrespect persona, Beahm revealed his infidelity and announced a break from streaming to focus on his family. “I have been unfaithful, and I am probably going to be taking some time away to focus on… Stupid mistakes, man,” he said.
Despite this rocky period, Beahm returned to streaming just over two months later and has remained with his wife. The 2017 scandal involved a 24-year-old woman, not a minor, differentiating it from the more recent allegations.
Despite these numerous controversies, Dr. Disrespect continues to stream, having shifted his content entirely to YouTube following his permanent ban from Twitch. Whether he can navigate this latest storm and maintain his status as a top-tier streamer remains to be seen. For now, the gaming community and his massive fan base are left watching and waiting, eager to see what comes next in the turbulent saga of Dr. Disrespect
