Dr Disrespect Knowingly Sent Explicit Messages to a Minor, Former Twitch Employee Says (www.rollingstone.com)

“I recall that Dr Disrespect was made aware by the individual that they were underage during the conversation, after which he indicated that this was no problem and continued on,” the former employee says. “There was no confusion. Messages sent after this was acknowledged were no less graphic and in sexually explicit nature than before, and I think more than the categorization of ‘leaning too much in the direction of being inappropriate’ might indicate.”

I didn't have any respect for him before, and now I guess I have disrespect.

I am willing to believe the accusations, but I won't take the word of people who tried to weasel out of his contract termination fees.

If they had evidence of sexting in 2017 then why didn't they report it to the police? Why quietly ban him in 2020?

Seems to me like they had monetary incentive to remove the Doc.

Because what he did wasn't illegal. It was just wrong. They didn't want anything to do with him any more, but he didn't break the law and so they couldn't use that part of the contract to terminate it.

They felt it was so wrong that they paid him $20mil to break that contract. They absolutely would have taken another option if it was viable.

Seems like an easy thing to put into contracts. Like, who would argue against that clause?
