Dr Disrespect, whose real name is Guy Beahm, has seen better days. The popular content creator was once one of the kings of Twitch, but he has faced several controversies that have left him in a situation where no one seems to want to pay him for his streams.
Dr Disrespect rejected by Rumble and Kick
A few years ago, Dr Disrespect was banned from Twitch for reasons kept secret until June 2025. According to testimony from sources close to the situation, the streamer was banned for allegedly exchanging inappropriate private messages with a minor.
Following this, Doc confirmed the accusations in a now-deleted Twitter post before disappearing for a while to go on vacation. Upon returning, Beahm claimed the messages were taken out of context and that it was all a plan by Twitch to get rid of him. However, these statements did little to prevent YouTube from removing his ability to monetize his content.
With Twitch and YouTube no longer viable platforms for Dr Disrespect, many expected him to move to platforms like Kick and Rumble, which have welcomed some controversial figures. However, it seems even those platforms are being cautious with Dr Disrespect.
“Making a deal with Dr Disrespect from a business and financial perspective makes no sense.”
In 2023, Chris Pavlovski, CEO of Rumble, expressed that he would love to have Dr Disrespect on the platform to create “unrestricted content” much like Kai Cenat and iShowSpeed do for the platform. However, sources now indicate that Rumble is not interested in offering Beahm a contract.
Additionally, Edward Kraven, co-founder of Kick, has also closed the door on Dr Disrespect: “Making a deal with Dr Disrespect from a business and financial perspective makes no sense.”
In response, Dr Disrespect stated that he would rather retire than make Kick his new home: “My community is the best in the industry (...) There’s a reason they keep saying my name. Think about it.”
It’s worth noting that Dr Disrespect is free to stream on platforms like Rumble and Kick. This simply means that neither platform is interested in offering him a lucrative exclusive deal, as they do with other big streamers.
