Shannon Liao had confirmed Twitch’s statement after the ban. Doc violated some community guidelines, but it is still not known what they were. Dr DisRespect’s wife had posted a story on her Instagram account last day thanking everyone for her support.
Shortly after the news, Dr DisRespect’s subscribers were refunded. The news made the rounds further confirming that the said ban could be permanent. The Doc had more than 4 million subscribers to his name.

The Twitch streamer was banned in 2019 following an E3 incident. He had gone live on stream from the men’s bathroom that led to him getting a temporary ban. This time around, however, the situation looks much more serious.
Doc is well known in the community for his comedic gimmicks through which he entertains his viewers. He is also a great player in many of the well-known shooters. We can only hope to get a clearer picture of what led to this abrupt debacle.
