This report from just an hour ago includes new information sourced from a former twitch employee.
A former Twitch trust and safety employee, who worked for the platform at the time Beahm was banned and has direct knowledge of the matter, confirmed to Rolling Stone that Beahm continued to send sexually graphic messages to a minor he knew to be underage. This former employee, who requested anonymity to avoid jeopardizing their career, also said that crucial elements of Beahm’s latest defensive tweet are inaccurate.
“I recall that Dr Disrespect was made aware by the individual that they were underage during the conversation, after which he indicated that this was no problem and continued on,” the former employee says. “There was no confusion. Messages sent after this was acknowledged were no less graphic and in sexually explicit nature than before, and I think more than the categorization of ‘leaning too much in the direction of being inappropriate’ might indicate.”
The ex-Twitch employee has also provided Rolling Stone a more detailed account of internal conversations at Twitch following the report of Beahm’s messages and his subsequent ban. They say the details of Beahm’s case are coming out because of Conners’ explosive tweet last week. “Cody definitely got the ball rolling. Me and many of my former colleagues are only comfortable speaking up now because of it. Our priority is always to the safety of the [alleged] victim and to keep their identity secret,” they said.
Dude is 40 years old and really thinks he can put a spin on sexting with a minor that doesn’t make him look like a creep. His only possible audience now is alt-right weirdoes.
The funniest part is him insisting he was dying to tell everyone he’s a child predator, but just wasn’t allowed to.
my favorite part was him making a statement where he goes “I might have done some light pedophilia” and then immediately in the same statement is like “but i’m not a pedophile! Dont call me a pedophile!”

Dr Disrespect for the Age of Consent
absolutely shocked that a streamer who attracted alt-right weirdos and got banned from twitch for undisclosed reasons actually ended up doing what you would expect.
“Stupid fucking mistakes, man.”
“Nothing illegal happened, no pictures were shared, no crimes were committed, I never even met the individual,” Beahm claimed. “I went through a lengthy arbitration regarding a civil dispute with Twitch and that case was resolved by a settlement…But trust me when I say this…to all my haters that live and breath [sic] social media with zero real life experience, I don’t give a fuck about you. They want me to disappear… yeah fucking right.”
The words of someone who is definitely contrite.

Meanwhile, the cause for the ban remained a mystery, prompting years of innuendo, conspiracy theories and questions about why neither Twitch nor gaming journalists had been able to reveal the nature of Beahm’s violation. (Full disclosure: the primary author of this article, Rod Breslau, first learned the reason for Beahm’s ban from credible sources in June 2020, but chose not to report on it then due to the extreme sensitivity of the topic.)
holy shit, Slasher finally vindicated after all these years. That tweet became a major meme on Twitch, with some people assuming that Dr. Disrespect did something truly horrible (ding ding ding!) but plenty of others assuming he was full of shit and just grandstanding.
To be clear, Slasher cowrote the article. Slasher is Rod Breslau.
Yes, sorry, wasn’t clear with the way I worded that! I guess it’s a little strange to say he vindicated himself–regardless it must feel good to finally be able to say it with his chest after holding his tongue for all this time.
