Turtle Beach is Ending Its Partnership With Dr Disrespect

Following recent allegations surrounding his 2020 Twitch ban, Turtle Beach has severed ties with Dr Disrespect. The gaming accessory company had a long-standing partnership with the popular streamer, even producing a limited-edition headset.

The allegations, made by former Twitch employee Cody Conners, claim Dr Disrespect engaged in inappropriate conduct involving a minor via Twitch's Whispers feature. These claims have prompted several partners to re-evaluate their relationships with the streamer.

Turtle Beach confirmed to IGN the termination of their partnership, ending a multi-year deal signed in 2020. Dr Disrespect's merchandise has also been removed from Turtle Beach's website.

This isn't Dr Disrespect's only recent partnership loss. Midnight Society, a game studio co-founded by Dr Disrespect, also ended their collaboration earlier this week, citing a shift in their understanding of the situation.

Dr Disrespect denies all allegations, claiming no wrongdoing and asserting that the matter was resolved with Twitch in 2020. He has also announced a break from streaming, potentially extending his planned vacation in light of the current controversy. The duration of his break and future plans remain unclear.
