Turtle Beach Drops Dr Disrespect Partnership

Following recent allegations surrounding his 2020 Twitch ban, Turtle Beach has severed ties with Dr Disrespect. The gaming accessory company, a long-time sponsor and partner of the popular streamer, even collaborated on a limited-edition headset.

The controversy reignited after former Twitch employee Cody Conners alleged Dr Disrespect engaged in inappropriate conduct involving a minor via Twitch's Whispers feature. These claims prompted several partners to re-evaluate their relationships with Dr Disrespect.

Turtle Beach confirmed to IGN the termination of their partnership, which included a multi-year deal signed in 2020 and the aforementioned branded headset. The streamer's merchandise has since been removed from Turtle Beach's website.

This isn't Dr Disrespect's first partnership fallout. Midnight Society, a game studio he co-founded, also ended its association with him earlier this week. While initially believing in his innocence, Midnight Society ultimately decided to part ways.

Dr Disrespect vehemently denies the allegations, claiming no wrongdoing and a settled agreement with Twitch in 2020. He has also announced a temporary break from streaming, citing the need for a vacation, likely extended due to the current situation. His future plans remain unclear.
