Popular Twitch streamer Guy Beahm, also known
as Dr Disrespect, had his Twitch channel suspended
on June 11th after streaming from public bathrooms
at E3 2019.
The Entertainment Software Association, the
company behind the annual conference, also
revoked Dr Disrespect's E3 badge.
Based on reports and his own videos, Disrespect
entered public restrooms at E3 with his camera
person in tow.
The broadcaster live-streamed his experience
while attendees, including at one point what
looked like a minor, used the urinals in the
background.
Other clips show Disrespect re-entering the
restroom on at least two more occasions and
using the urinal.
Images since posted to Twitter show the streamer
using a urinal with his camera person stationed
behind him.
Not long after the streams, clips, and images
started to circulate, Dr Disrespect's account
disappeared from Twitch.
Twitch star Jessica Blevins tweeted in response,
By taking a camera into a bathroom, Disrespect
violated California's "invasion of privacy"
law, which forbids, in part,
This also went against Twitch's terms of service,
which prohibits the streaming of illegal acts.
Recording someone against their will also
breaks Twitch's anti-harassment policy.
As of the making of this video, Dr Disrespect's
Twitch account remains suspended, with no
word on how long the ban will stay in effect.
Developer and streamer "Crankage Games" thinks
it won't be too long …
"It wouldn't be a smart business move for
Twitch to let him go.
Again, not because of what he brings in for
Twitch, but for what he could bring in for
other companies."
Though Dr Disrespect did not provide an immediate
response to the incident, the streamer broke
his silence June 13th on Twitter.
The tweet includes a 26 second clip of Disrespect
walking around E3 with the caption "Mishaps
lead to recaps" followed by a promise of a
full E3 recap video.
According to the tweet, Doc also fired his
director "Alex," likely the same elusive figure
he often yells at off-screen and occasionally
"fires" during his streams.
The promised recap went live on YouTube over
the weekend.
Clocking in at almost 11 minutes, the video
shows Doc and his supposed bodyguard, Dan,
walking around the conference, chatting with
fans and devs, and yelling a lot.
He also spends some time promoting his sponsor,
G Fuel, and trash-talking mobile gamers.
The only mention of the bathroom-incidents
comes at the end of the recap, with Doc complaining
about diarrhea.
He then runs into the bathroom where the video
cuts to a shot of him standing in a closed
stall, with his head visible above the door.
Dr Disrespect has not discussed or apologized
for the illegal live streams that resulted
in his Twitch ban and expulsion from E3, though
he seems unconcerned by the incident.
On June 15th, he shared some new Twitch emotes
showing his head peeking over the top of the
infamous bathroom stall.
These emotes will likely get a lot of use
when he inevitably returns to Twitch.
The last time Doc left Twitch for an extended
period, it only propelled his career to greater
heights.
At the end of 2017, Dr Disrespect went on
a Twitch hiatus after confessing that he had
been unfaithful to his wife during a stream.
"This is not who I am, this is not what I
represent."
When he returned almost two months later,
he broke the record for most concurrent viewers
of a single stream and pulled in thousands
of dollars in donations.
"But you know what?
We always come back stronger."
