Another former Twitch employee has come forward in the aftermath of the Dr Disrespect scandal, saying, ‘half the s*** you assume is probably true.’
Last week ex-Twitch employees came forward and claimed that the reason Dr Disrespect was mysteriously banned in 2020 was because he was caught ‘sexting a minor’.
Dr Disrespect later admitted that he had sent the messages and since then he’s been kicked out of the video games studio he co-founded and lost friends and sponsors, as well as 40,000 fans unfollowing him on his various channels.
Now another ex-employee, who worked behind the scenes at Twitch, has shed more light on the scandal, saying: ‘I saw things every single day that I wish I never had to see.’ He then condemned the platform, saying, ‘Twitch lets paedophiles run free.’

‘I literally worked in the department that had access to the most data and information. I saw private whispers, etc. it was literally my job to investigate daily.’
Whispers is a feature on Twitch that allowed anyone to send private messages to each other, including streamers, and is how Dr Disrespect, according to himself, was chatting with a minor in the first place.
‘I saw things every single day that I wish I never had to see. I always advocated for being a good human, Rellim adds to his Twitter thread.
‘Always expressed with heavy emotion on my streams how Twitch let paedophiles run free, every single day. I signed an NDA [non-disclosure agreement] and [I’m] afraid to get in bother, however I’ve to say one thing. It’s been bothering me so lengthy. These sick f**** don’t should be free.’
Rellim says he couldn’t see folks’s non-public messages straight, however through reviews.
He doesn’t say if he had entry to the messages between Dr Disrespect and the minor or not, however he doesn’t appear shocked that it occurred, including:
‘Wanted to allow you to guys know, half the s*** you assume might be true.’
