Dr Disrespect Banned From Twitch

Whether he did or not, this is probably not the best defense to an accusation like that:

Agreed, it doesn't seem like the best defense. It may also be the only thing he can really say about it legally, depending on the settlement. Interested to see how this plays out.

Whether he did or not, this is probably not the best defense to an accusation like that:

The only way I could see that being a possibility is if it was someone pretending to be a minor. Twitch would have had to go to the police if he was talking to an actual minor.

He can't really confirm or deny anything, or he would violate the terms of his settlement.


Someone needs to do a photoshop where they switch Doc's head with Chris Hanson's.

"Buy tickets to my shows and I'll tell why he got banned." Totally scrupulous and trustworthy

 

[HereticBD]

It's a little hard to take the allegation seriously, considering he won his lawsuit and he's not under federal investigation.

He didn't win the lawsuit. They settled out of court with both parties not admitting to any wrongdoings.

And there were rumors about underaged girls as far back as page 3 (didn't read the rest).

Twitch practically banned one of their most popular personalities and gave him his pay to go away in the settlement. Why would Twitch take a financial hit and piss off gamer fans for banning someone for no legitimate reason? It would have to be something serious.

There's all sorts of room for grey here.

Let's say he was "sexting" someone, what does that mean? Naughty language? Dick pics and nudes? Flirting? Was it serious or just silly?

Did the person present themself as a minor? Did he know they were a minor? Did she outright lie about her age?

There are so many variables here where depending on details this could be completely inappropriate, or very mildly inappropriate.

Why would they pay a guy to go away, if he clearly violated their terms of service(not to mention the law)? Seems like it would be pretty cut and dry, and he would have no legal recourse if they banned him for it. That's a pretty serious allegation. Not like he was stealing staplers from the office or anything. Caught sexting minors, so they not only pay him to go away but also pay out a settlement afterwards? That doesn't add up.

Then you come to find out that the guy exposing this has been grifting off of the reveal. At best, the only thing I can think of is that there were maybe rumors of it that were never proven, and they just tried to get out ahead of it.

Why would they pay a guy to go away,

Phantomlord technically won his lawsuit against Twitch in 2021. He got caught scamming his audience, botting his channel and using those bots to launder money. Twitch had to pay him out 20K five years later after the ban. *At his peak Phantomlord was making beyond 100K a week in 2016.

From my understanding when Twitch banned a streamer permanently. Twitch would pocket all outstanding payments to the banned streamer. So while Twitch were within their rights to ban said streamer. Them refusing to payout outstanding revenue was breach of contract. This is what DrDisrespect is referring to.

Probably some legal technicality that the defense leaned on that forced Twitch to settle - very much like what KanesDeath has mentioned.

All I am saying/reiterating is that Dr. Disrespect must have done something really bad for Twitch to ban him like that. No company would take an L like this for no reason.

He would have been better served by simply stating the case forced him into a contract that limits his speech in order to give a proper response. What he said there doesn't look good at all.

3:11:30ish if the timestamp doesnt work

No wrong doing was acknowledged... thats some legal nonsense to claim as a defense

 

[Zazen]

Haven’t been following this but his studio just cut ties with him. Someone must know something. He’s also saying they didn’t find any wrongdoings instead of saying he didn’t sext a minor to me which is just weird.

What
The
Fuck

Apparently all it takes is one accusation, without any evidence, to get a shitball rolling down a shit mountain and it turns into a shit-avalance.

I don't know what happened but from their tweet it sounds like they assumed he was innocent, spoke to the parties involved, saw something they didn't like, and got rid of him. The way Disrespect is acting with all of this is very strange IMO and isn't helping his innocence at all.

That settlement is coming back to bite him in the ass now. Looked good at the beginning when he got the money but now that he can't talk about it everyone else can and he can't publicly fight back...

 

[GearSolidMetal]

How do you know theres a lack of evidence?
Are you on the inside of this situation?

No evidence has been publicly presented, in fact the former Twitch employee tried to turn it into some marketing ploy to sell tickets for a band.

If you've seen any publicly presented evidence no one here but you has seen, then please enlighten us and post it.

Who da fuck is you to be getting that info? Are you part of the Midnight Society management? Are you paying the good Dr? You're not entitled to any info.

Midnight Society has claimed they've done their own investigation and dropped him because of it. So there might be some merit to these allegations now. Either that or they're looking at a lawsuit in the works. If the Dr is innocent then it's easy extra money in the bank. That's assuming he also doesn't nail them on a legal technicality.
