A gaming studio has cut its ties with Dr DisRespect. He was previously abruptly banned from Twitch without public explanation - now he has posted a frank and sweary defence of his action online.

One of Twitch's former biggest streamers has admitted to sending 'inappropriate' messages to a minor but says he's 'no f***ing predator or paedophile'. Dr DisRespect, real name Herschel 'Guy' Beahm, had more than four million followers on Twitch before his channel was abruptly removed in 2020. He was only halfway through a two-year exclusivity deal with the platform.

Robert Bowling, a co-founder of the studio, posted on Tuesday: 'If you inappropriately message a minor, I cannot work with you. Period. I promised to only act on facts, and I did.' On Tuesday, about an hour before Beahm published his statement, Bloomberg quoted three unnamed sources who it said confirmed Conners' claims. Tech news site The Verge also spoke to an anonymous Twitch employee who backed up the allegations.
