Following recent allegations surrounding his 2020 Twitch ban, Turtle Beach has severed its partnership with Dr Disrespect. The gaming accessory company had a long-standing relationship with the streamer, including a co-branded headset.
The allegations, made by a former Twitch employee, claim Dr Disrespect engaged in inappropriate conduct involving a minor via Twitch's Whispers service. These claims prompted a significant backlash, leading Turtle Beach to terminate its sponsorship agreement. The company's website has already removed Dr Disrespect's merchandise.
This isn't the first fallout from the resurfacing allegations. Midnight Society, a game studio co-founded by Dr Disrespect, also ended its relationship with him earlier this week, citing a change in perspective after initially believing his claims of innocence.
Dr Disrespect vehemently denies the allegations, asserting his innocence and claiming the matter was resolved with Twitch in 2020. He's also announced a break from streaming, potentially extending a planned vacation in light of the current controversy. The duration of his absence and future plans remain unclear.
