Dr Disrespect confirms texting minor, denies inappropriate intentions

'Were there twitch whisper messages with a minor back in 2017? The answer is yes,' Dr Disrespect confirms.

In a startling revelation that has rocked the gaming community, popular streamer Dr Disrespect has confirmed that he engaged in communications with a minor via Twitch's whispers platform back in 2017. 

This admission came after intense speculation following his sudden ban from Twitch in June 2020, an event that left fans and the internet at large in shock. 

Despite the absence of any official explanation from Twitch or Dr Disrespect at the time of the ban, recent developments have shed light on the situation.

A former Twitch employee's allegations prompted an investigation that confirmed the exchange of messages between Dr Disrespect and the minor. 

Addressing the issue publicly, Dr Disrespect took to Twitter to clarify the nature of these messages. 

"Were there twitch whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes," he wrote. 

However, he strongly denied any harmful intentions, stating, "Were there real intentions behind these messages, the answer is absolutely not. 

These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more."

Dr Disrespect emphasized that no illegal activities occurred, no pictures were exchanged, and he never met the individual in person. 

He also mentioned that the issue had been part of a civil dispute with Twitch, which was settled by arbitration, affirming that it was not a criminal matter, and he had not faced any criminal charges.

Despite his explanations, the admission has not been without consequences. The internet has seen a flurry of negative reactions, with many branding him inappropriately, which Dr Disrespect has denounced, stating he does not deserve to be called a predator or a pedophile. 

This controversy could potentially threaten his career, though he still retains a significant number of supporters who are willing to look past this incident.
