Herschel "Guy" Beahm IV, better known as Dr Disrespect, has hinted at potentially joining the alt-tech video sharing and live streaming platform Rumble.
Speculation began when Beahm responded to a post on X (formerly Twitter) claiming that Rumble was refusing to offer him a streaming contract. Beahm replied, “Well, let’s ask the CEO of Rumble right now. Hey @chrispavlovski, is this confirmed?”

Dr Disrespect was banned from Twitch in June 2020, and in June 2024, allegations surfaced accusing him of sending inappropriate messages to a minor. Beahm initially addressed the accusations in a now-deleted tweet but later claimed Twitch had taken the messages “out of context.” Since then, he has struggled to secure new streaming contracts.
Rumble’s CEO, Chris Pavlovski, had expressed interest in signing Dr Disrespect back in 2023, but recent reports suggest that no deal is currently being offered. Anonymous sources indicated that Rumble has joined Kick in declining to offer Beahm a contract.
Kick co-founder Edward Kraven recently ruled out signing Dr Disrespect, stating that a deal with Beahm “would make zero sense” from a financial and business standpoint at this time.
