Birthday, Family
Dr Disrespect was born Herschel “Guy” Beahm IV on March 10, 1982 (age: 41 years, as of 2023), in the United States. He has not revealed much about his parents or siblings, but he has said that he grew up playing video games, especially on the Nintendo and Sega consoles. He was also interested in sports, especially basketball, and he played for the NCAA Division II team at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, where he graduated in 2005 with a degree in business administration and marketing.
Career and Achievements
Dr started his online career in 2010, when he uploaded his first video on YouTube, featuring gameplay and commentary of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. He created his alter ego of Dr Disrespect, a ruthless and arrogant character who trash-talks his opponents and boasts about his skills and achievements. He also developed his distinctive look, wearing a black wig, a fake mustache, sunglasses, a tactical vest, and a red or black shirt.
He gained a cult following for his humorous and entertaining videos, and he was soon noticed by Sledgehammer Games, a video game developer. He joined the company in 2011 as a community manager and later became a level designer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
However, he did not give up on his passion for streaming, and he joined Justin.tv, which later became Twitch, the leading live streaming platform for gamers. He quit his job at Sledgehammer Games in 2015 to focus on his full-time streaming career, and he quickly rose to fame and popularity on Twitch, attracting millions of viewers and subscribers. He mainly played battle royale games, such as H1Z1, PUBG: Battlegrounds, Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty: Warzone.
He also collaborated with other famous streamers, such as Ninja, Shroud, TimTheTatman, and Summit1g. He became known for his high-quality production, his energetic and engaging personality, his catchphrases, such as “Violence. Speed. Momentum.”, and his interactions with his fans, whom he calls the “Champions Club”
Dr Disrespect has won several awards and accolades for his streaming career, such as the Streamer of the Year award at the Esports Industry Awards in 2017 and 2019, the Trending Gamer award at The Game Awards in 2017, and the Fan Favorite Male Streamer award at the Gamers’ Choice Awards in 2018. He has also signed lucrative sponsorship deals with brands such as Gillette, ASUS, Roccat, and Game Fuel.
He has also ventured into other media, such as writing a personal memoir called Violence. Speed. Momentum., which was released in March 2021, and designing a custom map and a character skin for the game Rogue Company in October 2020. He has also announced the launch of his own gaming studio, called Midnight Society, in December 2021, which will be headed by him and other veterans of the gaming industry, such as Robert Bowling and Quinn DelHoyo.
Spouse, Kids and Controversies
Disrespect is married to a woman named Mrs. Assassin, whose real name is unknown. They have two children, a daughter named Alana, who was born in 2014, and a son named Coby, who was born in 2018. Dr Disrespect has kept his family life private, and he rarely shows them on his streams or social media. However, he has also faced some troubles in his marriage, as he admitted to cheating on his wife in 2017, which caused him to take a break from streaming for a few months. He later reconciled with his wife, and they have remained together since then.
Disrespect has also been involved in several controversies and scandals throughout his career, such as:
- In 2019, he was banned from Twitch for two weeks, and his E3 pass was revoked, after he streamed from a public bathroom at the E3 convention, violating the privacy of other people and the terms of service of Twitch. He later apologized for his mistake and claimed that it was a misunderstanding.
- In 2020, he was banned from Twitch permanently, and his channel was removed from the site, for reasons that were never explained by Twitch or Dr Disrespect. This caused a huge uproar in the gaming community, as many speculated about the possible reasons behind the ban, such as legal issues, contractual disputes, or personal misconduct. He himself claimed that he was not given any reason by Twitch and that he was considering taking legal action against the platform. He also denied any allegations of wrongdoing and said that he was innocent. He later moved to YouTube, where he resumed his streaming career, and he also signed an exclusive deal with Facebook Gaming, where he streams some of his content. He has also expressed his interest in creating his own streaming platform in the future.
- In 2021, he was sued by his former creative director, Alex Kushelevskiy, who alleged that Dr breached their contract, and owed him $2.8 million in unpaid wages and damages. He denied the claims, and countersued Kushelevskiy, accusing him of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and defamation. The case is still ongoing, and no verdict has been reached yet.
