==About==
===Appearance===
Beahm wanted to be a streamer, but with style. He would wear sunglasses, a black rock-styled wig and also a mustache. His logo shows the sunglasses and mustache. People say he likes to appear as a role model from the 1980s. He is a fan of Retrowave, which is styled as 'Futurefunk', 'Running to the 80s', music related to funk, and 1980s music, and video effects that are like the 1980s and from science-fiction.
===Reactions===
Beahm is known for his trash talks and raging, and that's why people think "DrDisRespect" was his name because of his reactions, and the love he has for putting on a persona to entertain.
==History==
While Beahm's appearance never changed back then, he used to make Black Ops 2 videos, Modern Warfare videos, and also made skits. He was a former member of OpTic and was a 2x champion in 1993, 1994 Blockbuster gaming championship of NBA Jam within the "Online Gaming Community". He was voted 'Twitch Streamer of the Year' in 2017.

===House shooting===
On September 11, 2018, Beahm was live-streaming the recently released game, 'Call of Duty: BlackOut', which is a taste of Call of Duty's own battle royale. While playing it, there were drive-by gunshots given to his house and was forced to break character (taking off the sunglasses and the wig) to explain his fans what had just happened, and then immediately ended the stream.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsqgElWPKY0 Beahm later said that nobody was hurt and the situation is being handled.https://twitter.com/drdisrespect/status/1039717643903676416
===Disagreements with The Act Man===
On October 31, 2021, The Act Man released "Call of Duty Streamers Don't Understand Halo", in which the main focus of the video featured him criticizing various Call of Duty streamers with their takes on the recently announced Halo: Infinite.

He also mentions about how much "potential" a Halo "BR" has and stated how it'd "change the game".

On June 21, 2024, Cody Conners, a former Twitch employee, would publicly reveal the reason for Beahm's ban on X. Conners alleged that Beahm had sent sexually explicit texts to a minor through Twitch Whispers (a now-defunct feature that allowed streamers to privately chat with their fans) and that he planned to meet the minor at the upcoming TwitchCon.https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/23/24183875/dr-disrespect-twitch-ban-explanation Following this companies that worked with Beahm began to distance themselves, including Midnight Society, a game development studio that Beahm had co-founded.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq55x8v8nvrohttps://www.thegamer.com/dr-disrespect-own-studio-midnight-society-cuts-ties-twitch-ban-allegations-conversations-with-minor/
Beahm would initially deny the allegations, stating in an X post on June 22 that it had been "probed and settled" and that "nothing illegal, no wrongdoing was found."https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/dr-disrespect-ban-allegation/ On his livestream the next day he would be asked about the situation, causing him to end the stream and state he would take a break from streaming.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E73nGJocgAA&pp=ygUNZHJkaXNyZXNwZWN0IA%3D%3D On June 25, he would admit to communicating with a minor over Whispers, and admitted that their conversations "sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate." Beahm denied that he engaged in any illegal activity or sent illicit photos.https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2024/06/25/dr-disrespect-makes-a-big-streaming-announcement-amidst-allegations/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dr-disrespect-addresses-misconduct-allegations-after-turtle-beach-ends-partnership/1100-6524501/
On July 7, the shooter game Rogue Company ended their partnership with Herschel, removing his DrDisRespect bundle from the game, and refunding every player who had purchased the bundle.

Everything else related to Herschel's DrDisRespect character was also removed, such as The Arena.https://www.thegamer.com/rogue-company-first-update-october-2024-nearly-a-year-removing-dr-disrespect-twitch-allegations/
