He actually responded to this on Twitter.
https://twitter.com/DrDisrespect/status/1805662419261460986
Two clear quotes from the tweet.
and also
😑
This is literally "I was inappropriately talking to a minor, nothing more" like wtf lol
This man felt he finally had the opportunity to share his side of the story and decided to lead with that.
Edit: Now in skit form
I can finally share my side of the story now that Twitch employees have come forward. You see, all I did was indulge in a little bit of grooming. One might even say it was a minor case of grooming.
Anyways, I'm not a pedo.
Doc out!
This might be worse than when that woman ukeleled her sexual predator apology.
That's what they always used to say to Chris Hansen when he'd confront them about the texts
Someone already got Chris Hansen to do a Cameo for Doc 😂👌
LOL do you have a link for it?

Most of the ones I can find are react content re-uploads. This one has corny captions on it but at least it’s the raw video.
Usually what the predator pedophile says.
"I did it! But she was 17! Get over it people. Gosh darn it."
Who the fuck finds his streams entertaining.
Part of me wants to give some benefit of the doubt but it's really difficult. Maybe he was trying to meet up at the nintendo panel for upcoming Super Smash Bros Ultimate and the Twitch admins read "I can't wait to smash with you."
If DrDisrespect has actually been wronged then we will find out eventually after a defamation suit, part of the reason they settled it last time might be because the mere allegations being released to the public could be harmful but that cat is out of the bag.
Why? Hasn't his official statement said enough? I have no idea who this guy is. Is he that big?
Used to be the biggest streamer on twitch before he got banned
Welp, I'm not on twitch but if I ever heard his name before it never registered. Who's the biggest now? Or just make someone up I'll never know.
Probably the biggest streamer right now is a rainbow six siege streamer named jynxi who averages near 100k viewers
Is this real? Or are you just tricking me by using an older game I'd know?
Who can tell
No tricks here my friend. I don't know how a console playing siege person could become that big but he did it
Because I think mob justice is criminal. If Dr Disrespect did wrong then he did wrong, but we don't know anything other than the fact that he has in fact spoken to a person who was under 18, which in itself is not a crime.
Twitch banned him 3 years after the supposed contact between the two, and attempted to go without paying out his contract termination until he started a lawsuit and Twitch settled it.
This is what he's willing to admit. I wonder what constitutes "inappropriate".
Twitch turbo ejected the largest streamer on its platform days after the messages were sent, so... likely pretty fucking inappropriate.
These were DMs, so never public, but the "tried to meetup at twitchcon" makes it seem like he was explicitly trying to rape a kid and thats where twitch, who could have just said nothing, hit the "fuck no" button.
Fuck this guy and good on them. Amazon still has some decent people, or at least did.
The messages were sent in 2017. They weren’t reported to Twitch until 2020, at which point they reviewed and took action - that was the whole “Doc got banned and we don’t know why” saga.
Now we know.
Defending a pedophile isn’t a good look, Guy.
I haven't defended him, I've consistently said he might have committed a crime, though that would be unlikely given it was 7 years ago.
Labeling everyone you don't like as a pedophile isn't a good look.
Nah, sexually texting a minor isn’t a two sided thing. There is no justification for it. There is no ‘I’m not a pedophile’ about sexually texting a minor. The sexual texting a minor is the intent to do more. You don’t simply ‘play around’ sexually texting a minor.
Then don't sexually text any minors. Very simple. Now that I've helped you sort out your odd unrelated moral dilema, do you have anything to say about the Doc?
Yeah he's a creep and so are you
