June 22, 2024:

Following an abrupt termination of his previous live broadcast, visibly downcast and anxious, Doc (Dr Disrespect) made his initial public comment regarding the accusations

“I must abide by the terms of my agreement with Twitch, but let me clarify some things as we’re on the internet here. There was nothing improper or unlawful in what transpired, and all matters related to this have been thoroughly investigated and resolved. I was compensated fairly for any part I played.”

In the course of events like this, I will be participating in a public event, as the crowd gathers around the statement above by joining the gathering during stream

The streamer replied, “If you’re expecting more from me over the weekend, I won’t be adding anything extra. I’ve already shared what needed to be said. Regarding that individual, I have no particular interest. But I do want to express my gratitude for your donations and messages.”

On the same day, the studio Midnight Society, which Dr. Disrespect co-founded, declared they were ending their association with the streamer and removing him from the organization

Dr Disrespect Ban, Controversy, and Return: The Timeline So Far

On June 25, 2024: Under increasing public scrutiny, Dr Disrespect unveiled the reason behind his Twitch ban, referring to the incident previously mentioned by Conners. In his message (available in full below), he announced a temporary hiatus from streaming and planned to lay low for a while. Yet, he made it clear that this wasn’t a permanent goodbye

“Hello, I’d like to make a quick statement..

As we all know, I value honesty above all else. I’ve always been straightforward and authentic with you, sharing whatever I can in an open and transparent manner. And if there’s ever a need for me to take accountability, I’m more than willing to step up and do just that – which is exactly what I’m doing right now

Above all else, I feel compelled to express my sincere apologies to everyone within my community, friends, colleagues, my team, and the entire Midnight Society Game Studio

Many individuals are uninformed about yesterday’s events involving Midnight Society and myself, and after thorough discussion, we chose to let me step aside. Our team is comprised of extremely skilled and dedicated individuals with lofty careers and families, and I would never wish to compromise the positive culture we have meticulously built together

For quite some time, people have been curious about why I was barred from Twitch, yet circumstances beyond my power prevented me from discussing it. However, with two ex-Twitch employees recently revealing the allegations, I am finally able to share my perspective on the matter that led to my ban

In 2017, did Twitch whisper messages exist between myself and an individual who was underage at the time? Yes, they did. However, the motivation behind these messages was never malicious or inappropriate. They were simply casual, mutual conversations that occasionally veered into questionable territory but remained purely conversational. No laws were broken, no images were exchanged, no criminal activities occurred, and I have never met this person in real life. I was involved in a lengthy arbitration process with Twitch over a civil dispute, which was eventually settled through an agreement. It’s important to clarify that this was not a criminal case against me, and no criminal charges have ever been filed against me

From a moral perspective, I acknowledge that I am accountable for this situation. I should have never initiated these discussions in the first place. The blame lies with me, as an individual, a husband, and a father. It should not have occurred. I understand the error of my ways. I’m far from perfect, but I will take responsibility for my actions. This was a foolish mistake

To clarify, despite the strong language used, I want to make it clear that I have seen careless comments and labels being thrown around. Social media can often be a toxic environment. I am emphatically not a predator or pedophile, a fact that anyone who truly knows me is well aware of. I strongly condemn such behavior and find the mere suggestion of it to be beyond repugnant. Please refrain from exaggerating and labeling me as such. Let’s keep our conversation focused on more appropriate topics. Thank you

It seems I’ve expressed my thoughts on the ban as thoroughly as I intended. This, in essence, was the reason behind Twitch’s decision back in 2020

To my cherished team, community, and industry companions who have stood by me, I offer my sincere apologies for not expressing my feelings earlier. Your unwavering love and support for myself and my family over the years has been nothing short of amazing. You are more valuable to us than words can express. If any part of this has caused you discomfort, please understand it was never my intention. I respect your decision if you choose to withdraw your support, but please know that you have always been deeply appreciated and will forever hold a special place in our hearts

To those who thrive on social media but seemingly lack genuine life experiences, allow me to assure you, I place little value on your opinions

Ultimately, if you find my words displeasing and believe I’ve acted poorly, I understand your feelings. However, I have no intention of leaving. I am not the same person who made that mistake long ago. Instead, as previously mentioned on stream, I’m taking a break with my family, returning refreshed and relieved of a burden I’ve carried for too long

They want me to disappear… yeah f*****g right.”
