Midnight Society reveals truth about Dr Disrespect\u2019s role & refunds Doc cosmetic YouTube\/Dr Disrespect\/Midnight SocietyGame studio Midnight Society is further distancing itself from Dr Disrespect by dismissing his involvement and refunding one of his cosmetics. In June, former Twitch employees revealed Dr Disrespect, real name Guy Beahm, was permanently banned from the platform in 2020 for sending explicit messages to a minor. The streamer would eventually confess that these allegations were true, but remained adamant that no criminal charges were ever brought against him. Twitch had reportedly alerted the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children over the severity of the messages. Amid the backlash, numerous companies cut ties with Doc, including game company Midnight Society. Speaking with Bloomberg, Midnight Society revealed they held an emergency call with Beahm after the allegations first surfaced and the streamer admitted to messaging a minor. The studio\u2019s co-founder, Robert Bowling, also dismissed Dr Disrespect\u2019s involvement with Deadrop, the studio\u2019s first game. \u201cHis job as an influencer was to bring eyeballs and community to it,\u201d he said. \u201cHaving some initial marketing in the beginning we wouldn\u2019t have otherwise definitely helped.\u201d Bowling further stressed that the game\u2019s studio was able to get investments from Bitkraft and Polychain Capital due to the team\u2019s success on past projects and not because of Dr Disrespect. Just like NBA 2K and Rogue Company, Deadrop has removed Dr Disrespect cosmetics from the game and is issuing a refund to players. In a Discord post in July, Midnight Society confirmed that users who purchased the \u201c2TIME\u201d License Plate and Vehicle Wrap would receive a refund. The \u201c2TIME\u201d plate has since been changed to \u201cREDRUM\u201d \u2013 a reference to The Shining, an \u2018murder\u2019 spelled backward. Since admitting to sending the messages, Dr Disrespect hasn\u2019t been seen, but has promised to return to the streaming world down the line. \u201cI\u2019m taking an extended vacation with my family as mentioned on stream and I\u2019m coming back with a heavy weight off my shoulders,\u201d he said in his final statement on X. In late July, Dr Disrespect uploaded a mysterious new header image to his profile, sparking rumors that a possible return could be coming sooner than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
