On Tuesday, Dr Disrespect and his cameraman walked right into a public restroom and began filming. While Twitch does not specifically point out filming in bogs as a contravention in their Terms of Service, it does forbid folks from streaming unlawful acts. 

California has a “invasion of privacy” legislation, so filming in a public restroom is most likely violated that clause. To make matters worse, while filming on the reside streaming platform, other individuals had been present within the video the use of the stalls and urinals.  

According to the Twitch ToS, "Any use of the Twitch Services in violation of the foregoing violates these Terms of Service and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Twitch Services.”

While Twitch has not yet stated how long Dr Disrespect’s account will be suspended, it remains unavailable at this time.

As expected, fans reacted to Dr Disrespect’s Twitch ban. 

After news broke of the self-proclaimed “face of Twitch” being banned, fans quickly reacted. "Just heard the inside track about @drdisrespect... Yikes! What he did was just STUPID, (Live streamed from a public bathroom) So @Twitch banned him. I perceive the ban, but surely it's not everlasting?” questioned one fan on Twitter.

Another fan wrote, “That is among the maximum implausible issues I've observed on Twitch. Wow. I just like the Doc, however WOW. Totally deserves the ban. I wonder if every single particular person in the ones restrooms have a felony case? Let alone the only's status on the urinals...BEYOND gross. I'm flabbergasted.” 

While many have been outraged after the IRL circulation, one fan puzzled who was to truly blame for the illegal incident, tweeting: “The level is if something was to happen on the felony facet of items as others say it’s a criminal offense. Who is accountable? Doc obviously wasn’t the one recording, it was somebody else.” 

Aside from devoted enthusiasts, in style Twitch stars spoke up after the controversial incident. Turner “Tfue” Tenney tweeted a picture of himself wearing sunglasses and a faux mustache, which he captioned, “Free Dr Disrespect." 

No stranger to controversy, Tfue is currently in lawsuit against the FaZe Clan, after he accused the gaming organization of "hindering his industry opportunities."

While the internet star showed his support for the fellow internet personality, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins agreed with the streaming app's decision to temporarily ban Dr Disrespect. “It's a no brainer dude," Ninja tweeted. "I love him, but when you break the rules, you get punished. It's that simple."

At this time, neither Twitch has said when or if Dr Disrespect will likely be reinstated, and Dr Disrespect has not commented on the scenario.
