DrDisrespect knows why Twitch banned him and will sue in response

Last year, DrDisrespect, one of the biggest streaming content creators around, was suddenly banned from Twitch. Even now, the public has no idea why, but the man himself does and is preparing to sue the platform for it.

Herschel “Guy” Beahm IV, a.k.a. DrDisrespect, was banned from Twitch in one of 2020’s biggest gaming stories mainly because it’s not every day that the platform decides to cut ties with its biggest stars. Fast forward to now, Beahm claims he finally knows what happened.

“There’s a reason why I don’t talk about it. I can’t talk about this kind of stuff,” states Beahm during a recent YouTube stream. “A lot of people ask, ‘Do you know the reason?’ Yeah, I do know the reason why now. I’ve known for months now. There’s a reason why, and I’ll just say this right now, champs: There’s a reason why we’re suing the [expletive] out of them, OK?”

You can watch a clip of this below (thanks, Dexetro), but just know that there’s some NSFW language in it.

Legal battles like this can last for years, so there’s a good chance the public won’t know “the reason” for quite some time.
