Dr Disrespect breaks silence on Twitch ban: \u2018We don\u2019t know why\u2019 Dr DisrespectDr Disrespect has finally opened up on one of the biggest running stories on the internet, his Twitch ban. He still doesn\u2019t know the reason why his channel was removed and has confirmed his time on the platform is over, for good. [jwplayer n2Qv7kxI] The leader of the Champions Club has spoken to the Washington Post about the situation, his first interview since his channel \u2013 which had some four million followers \u2013 was suddenly removed. Doc was just two months into a brand new exclusive contract with the streaming giant, and was considered by many to be the face of the platform. With no answers from Twitch about the reason why, he\u2019s finally broken his silence on the situation, claiming it\u2019s been a time of tremendous stress and anxiety for his family. \u201cWe just don\u2019t know\u201d \u2013 Dr Disrespect Having had his contract terminated and usual work schedule scrapped, he said the following about the ban: \u201cHonestly, we just don\u2019t know.\u201d \u201cIt was a total shock. Imagine showing up to work and the doors are closed and you can\u2019t get inside. You\u2019re going, \u2018What\u2019s going on?\u2019 And you\u2019ve been told you\u2019ve been fired. But you haven\u2019t been told the reason why. We just weren\u2019t given an answer\u2026 It was the worst feeling.\u201d During the interview, Dr Disrespect (real name Guy Beahm), revealed that he had found out about his ban while watching another friend stream, and sent out an email to Twitch immediately for an update. Usually, in cases like these, it would be the other way around and Twitch would issue a response to the streamer stating the reason as to why action has been taken against their account. They did say this, though: \u201cAs is our process, we take appropriate action when we have evidence that a streamer has acted in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. These apply to all streamers regardless of status or prominence in the community.\u201d Dr Disrespect not returning to Twitch Since the ban, almost the entire internet has been silent on the situation. Some members of the online gaming community have engaged with rumors of the streamer having their channel removed due to intentions of starting his own platform, although Doc labeled it \u201ccrazy speculation\u201d not worth commenting on in the sit-down with The Post. In a second interview, this time with PCGamer, the Two-Time confirmed that his time on Twitch has certainly come to an end. His next big move is in the works, and he seems to have a few options on the table. He said: \u201cObviously, for legal counsel, I have to be careful here. But I can say however, that I will not be returning to Twitch, so, I mean, that\u2019s it.\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s just say all the cards are on the table. I\u2019m more focused on just making sure whatever we do next, whether it\u2019s a platform move or not, that it\u2019s the right decision for the community and Champions Club that follows me. And that makes sense to what I want to continue to accomplish with this character in terms of taking things to the next level, and whether it\u2019s streaming or outside of streaming. So it\u2019s just being conscientious of that decision.\u201d The report confirmed that in an email, Doc confirmed that he\u2019s considering streaming on his own website, championsclub.gg, and has other options like YouTube and Facebook Gaming as well. Aside from that, it was also noted that he\u2019s considering legal action. Will we see Dr Disrespect return to streaming every day soon? Perhaps, but his time on Twitch is over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
