What’s going on with Dr Disrespect? The shocking allegations, explained

wegotthiscovered.com:

During his stream on Monday night, June 24, Dr Disrespect announced that he’s taking a break from streaming. The decision seemed impulsive and took his fans by surprise, but there’s more to this story than meets the eye

Dr Disrespect, real name Herschel Beahm, is one of the most successful gaming streamers ever. His larger-than-life personality has led to him amassing a sizable following of devoted fans since he began streaming in 2015.

Yesterday, Beahm admitted on stream that he’d been “feeling burnt out” for a long time, “I’m exhausted of being in front of the camera, I’m exhausted of being on socials.” He didn’t give much more in the way of details, nor did he say when, or if he would be back, but burnout is a real issue for some people so many accepted his reason for stepping back without questioning it.

Beahm did hint at “negative energy” that might have informed his decision, but if you haven’t been keeping up to date on all the Dr Disrespect drama you might not know what he was referring to. You see, many former fans and casual observers have been a bit more skeptical regarding his sudden decision to quit. One individual on X suggested that there may be a more serious reason behind Beahm taking a hiatus.

First of all, two former Twitch employees came forward to make some serious allegations against the streamer. Then, the game studio known as the Midnight Society, whom Beahm co-founded announced on X that they would be “terminating” their relationship with him. But why is all of this happening?
