So, I am going to say in his personal life Dr. Disrespect is prolly a real asshole, but lets look at some stuff.
Dr. Disrespect has texts with a minor in 2017 via Twitches messenger service. (Where all people are supposed to be 18+. Does he know? Maybe, maybe not, but lets assume he does.)
2019s Mixer streaming service starts making a run at Twitch. In July Ninja and in October Shroud sign with Mixer. They are seeing huge market share gains.
March 2020 Twitch signs biggest contract ever with Dr. Disrespect amidst rumors about him and Mixer. So, at this point they've had this DMs for 3 yrs but sign him.
June 22 2020 Mixer announces it is closing.
June 26 2020 Twitch bans Dr. Disrespect for sexting a minor, again, after apparently having his DMs for 3yrs.
Aug 2021 Dr. Disrespect sues Twitch. It goes to Arbitration
Mar 2022 Case is settled and Dr. Disrespect is paid out his full remaining contract. According to statements 3rd part arbitration found nothing illegal or breach of contract on the part of Dr. Disrespect. (Not saying nothing immoral, but most contracts do have a morality clause in them. We don't know this for certain)
There also has been reference to a leaked documents about the arbitration that said the conversations were all professional in nature and that there were malicious actors within Twitch that attempted to misrepresent stuff. However, I haven't been able to dig this back up or verify it, so lets just leave it as rumor.
This to me has the makings of Twitch shelling out a shitload of money on a contract because they were trying to compete with Mixer and then realizing fuck, we're stuck with bloated contract now. Someone going, hey, wait... I got a way to fix this and them using the old DMs to attempt to break contract.
Is the dude scummy? Most likely, but for Twitch to sit on this shit for 3yrs, sign a contract with him and suddenly whip it out once Mixer announces its closure is... odd.
It also discounts all the 'We had to stop him from meeting up with her at Twitch Con, we had to protect the minor.' How? It was 3yrs old at that point. You weren't protecting shit.
