Herschel "Guy" Beahm IV (born March 10, 1982), better known as Dr Disrespect or The Doc, is an American live streamer.

He became known for playing battle royale games such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, H1Z1, and PUBG: Battlegrounds on Twitch and YouTube.

[3] He attended California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, where he played NCAA Division II men's basketball for the Broncos.

[7] He joined Justin.tv (which later became Twitch) while he was working at Sledgehammer, and quit the studio at the end of 2015 to focus on a full-time live streaming career.

[7] Under his Dr Disrespect persona, Beahm gained a significant following for playing battle royale games, starting in 2016 with H1Z1 before switching to PUBG: Battlegrounds and then Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout mode; he had also livestreamed gameplay of Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite Battle Royale, and Fall Guys.

[18] On June 11, 2019, Dr Disrespect's Twitch channel was suspended as he was livestreaming while attending the 2019 edition of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles.

[22][23] Listen, I'm obviously tied to legal obligations from the settlement with Twitch but I just need to say what I can say since this is the fucking internet.I didn't do anything wrong, all this has been probed and settled, nothing illegal, no wrongdoing was found, and I was paid.Elden Ring Monday.

[26] That same day, Discord removed Dr Disrespect from their partnership program, citing violations of their Code of Conduct.

[28] A month later, in interviews with PC Gamer and The Washington Post, he insisted that he did not know why Twitch banned him and debunked "crazy speculation" and conspiracy theories over it.

[44] He later acknowledged sending messages that he claimed "sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate"; that statement was removed in August, and he tweeted afterwards that "we have lots to talk about".

[49] On September 6, 2024, Beahm returned to streaming on YouTube and issued a lengthy statement denying allegations that he sexted a minor and claimed that neither he "nor the Twitch user exchanged any sexually graphic messages or images".

Beahm additionally claimed that he never intended to meet her at TwitchCon, and accused the former Twitch community manager and "big-time publications" of targeting him.

Beahm also made a social media post on his personal account claiming that he was a victim of cancel culture based on falsehoods.

[7] In October 2020, Beahm worked with Hi-Rez Studios to design a custom map and a Dr Disrespect character skin for the third-person shooter video game Rogue Company.

[57] The content was removed in July 2024, and the developers offered "Rogue Bucks" refunds for the prior purchases of the skin, which was criticized by players on social media.

[58][59] In May 2021, Beahm invested in Bright Star Studios for the developers' massively multiplayer online role-playing game named Ember Sword.

[60] In December, Beahm announced the launch of a game studio, Midnight Society, to be headed by him along with Call of Duty and Halo veterans Robert Bowling and Quinn DelHoyo.

[61][62][63] Their in-development free-to-play battle royale title, codenamed Project Moon and later Dead Drop and DEADROP,[64][65] sparked criticism around the sale of "Founder's Access" NFTs which allow owners to provide input on the development of the game.
