Gaming Giant Turtle Beach Axes Partnership
Following recent allegations surrounding his 2020 Twitch ban, Turtle Beach has severed ties with Dr Disrespect. The gaming accessory company had a long-standing partnership with the streamer, including a collaborative headset.
The allegations, surfacing recently from a former Twitch employee, Cody Conners, claim Dr Disrespect engaged in inappropriate conduct involving a minor via Twitch's Whispers feature. These claims prompted swift action from several of Dr Disrespect's partners.
Turtle Beach, which had a multi-year sponsorship deal with Dr Disrespect and even released a co-branded headset, confirmed the termination of their relationship with IGN. The streamer's merchandise has also been removed from the Turtle Beach website.
This isn't an isolated incident. Midnight Society, a game studio co-founded by Dr Disrespect, also ended their association with him following the allegations. While initially presuming his innocence, Midnight Society ultimately decided to part ways.
Dr Disrespect vehemently denies the accusations, stating no wrongdoing was acknowledged during his Twitch ban and that the matter was resolved in 2020. He's also announced a temporary hiatus from streaming, citing a planned vacation that will likely be extended in light of the current situation. The duration of his break and future plans remain undisclosed.
