Where Did Dr Disrespect Come From?
In 2010, Guy Beahm started uploading YouTube videos, which was around the same time that he was working for Sledgehammer Games. He directly contributed to the design and development of maps in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, giving him a foothold in the industry and helping him carve out a professional reputation. He’d return to game design several years later with the launch of his studio, but first, he’d need to create the Dr Disrespect persona.
It was here that Dr Disrespect first appeared on our screens, with Guy Beahm introducing himself as a brash, overconfident character wearing a black mullet-style wig and sunglasses. He’d go on to become known for this outfit, and would even appear at sports events and award ceremonies wearing his trademark clothing, which includes a red ‘plate carrier’ vest. Here’s his first video, uploaded in January 2010:
According to Beahm, the Dr Disrespect persona originated from Halo 2. When playing that game, Beahm would use proximity chat to talk to his enemies in a threatening, arrogant manner, calling himself ‘The Doc’ and dominating the game. This bled through to the origins of his creator career, and in 2010, Guy Beahm became Dr Disrespect.

Dr Disrespect’s Personal Life
Dr Disrespect’s full name is Herschel Guy Beahm III. He’s 42 years old (as of March 2024) and resides in San Diego, California with his wife and one child – a daughter born in 2014. He stands at approximately 6’6” and weighs around 230lbs, opting to remain in shape and keep physically fit despite his ‘main job’ being gaming and streaming. The only part of his Dr Disrespect persona that’s real is his handlebar moustache.
In his personal life, Dr Disrespect enjoys the trappings of a wealthy lifestyle and is often seen cruising around in a Lamborghini Aventador. He enjoys playing golf and partaking in other sports such as basketball and football. He has written a book about his ascendance in the gaming world and is often seen maintaining his character out and about. It’s rare to see him in pictures or videos without his trademark outfit, and that’s mostly because of how unrecognisable he is without his costume.
Dr Disrespect Controversies
Sadly, Dr Disrespect has found himself in very hot water on numerous occasions, suffering immensely as a result of his actions.
Jimmy Wong Scandal
Several years ago, Dr Disrespect faced allegations of racism by a musician named Jimmy Wong. In a few clips taken from his gameplay on PUBG, Dr Disrespect was seen imitating the Chinese accent and putting on a fake language based on Chinese to mock Asian gamers he was playing against. He brushed these claims off as being ‘laughable’.
E3 Toilet Incident
In 2019, Dr Disrespect streamed at E3 inside a bathroom while people were urinating, earning him a temporary ban from Twitch. This came as a result of California’s privacy laws and it was one of the most publicised controversies in the streamer’s career.
Infidelity
In 2017, Dr Disrespect appeared on-stream without his outfit for the first time, but it wasn’t for anything good. He was admitting that he’d cheated on his wife and that he was taking a break from streaming to recuperate with his family. Since 2017, there have been no recorded recurrences, but it was a very rocky time for the streamer.
Permanent Twitch ban
In 2020, Dr Disrespect was suddenly and permanently banned from Twitch, with his profile being scrubbed from the site. It was never made public why he was banned, and years later, it was still the talk of the town where streamers were concerned. The most compelling thing about the entire scenario was the mystery around it all – plenty of conspiracy theories surfaced, but a nefarious claim emerged in 2024 that risked derailing Dr Disrespect’s career forever.
Dr Disrespect Minor ‘Sexting’ Allegations
In June 2024, former Twitch employees emerged on social media to explain why Dr Disrespect was banned from Twitch in 2020. It was alleged that he’d used the site’s Whisper function to solicit a minor and attempted to meet them at TwitchCon. There was no evidence to corroborate these claims, but multiple employees backed up the allegations and Dr Disrespect’s personal and professional life started collapsing not long after.
He was released from Midnight Society, the game studio he founded, and he announced on stream that he was taking an indefinite break from content creation and social media. As thousands rallied both for and against him, Dr Disrespect hung his head and admitted that he was fatigued ‘of all this’. After more than a decade at the top of his game, many are concerned that this might spell the end of Dr Disrespect.
