The San Francisco 49ers have cut ties with a popular video game streamer who admitted Tuesday to inappropriately messaging a minor in 2017. The streamer, Herschel “Guy” Beahm, known by his username Dr Disrespect, was banned by Twitch in 2020.
“We take these developments seriously and will not be working with him going forward,” a 49ers spokesperson told SFGATE.
Beahm is a 42-year-old video game streamer who broadcasts to tens of thousands of viewers on YouTube. From 2022 to 2023, Beahm, a longtime fan of the Niners, developed a closer relationship with the football team, which included appearing in social media posts and representing the team on a couple of high-profile occasions.
