Trusted journalist Rod “Slasher” Breslau also weighed in on the issue. Breslau noted that several reliable sources have confirmed that Dr Disrespect has been banned but declined to comment further, which has increased speculation about Dr Disrespect’s guilt.
Dr Disrespect Twitch contract and Dr Disrespect drama
The cancellation of Dr Disrespect’s contract with Twitch and the ensuing legal proceedings have also revealed the financial side of the story. Dr Disrespect sued Twitch following his ban, stating that the black mark on his record negatively impacted his ability to find sponsors and monetize.

Dr. Disrespect’s denial of the accusations and the details of the legal process suggest that the issue will be debated for a long time. However, this does not stop the broadcasting world and fans from speculating. It’s hard to know exactly what happened to Dr. Disrespect. Still, this drama will continue to leave deep scars on the gaming and publishing world.
