Listen, I'm obviously tied to legal obligations from the settlement with Twitch but I just need to say what I can say since this is the fucking internet.

I didn't do anything wrong, all this has been probed and settled, nothing illegal, no wrongdoing was found, and I was paid.

Evidence eventually emerged in June 2024 corroborating allegations that Beahm had sent sexually explicit messages to aminor,with former Twitch director of strategic partnerships Cody Conners tweeting on June 21 that he "got caughtsextinga minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product "in 2017. He claimed that Beahm was" trying to meet up with her atTwitchCon".[69][6][7][8]

Beahm initially denied the allegations, stating that he did "nothing illegal, no wrongdoing was found, and I was paid".[70][71]On a livestream ofElden Ring,he considered leaving his business ventures, saying that he was "burnt out" by the allegations.[41]He later acknowledged sending messages that he claimed "sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate"; that statement was removed in August, and he tweeted afterwards that "we have lots to talk about".[10][72]Former Twitch employees responded that it was inaccurate, characterizing the messages as "sexually graphic" and that Beahm kept sending these messages even after being made aware the individual was underage.[7][73][8]

In response, YouTube suspended Beahm from the platform's partner program and demonetized his channel.[11]Additionally, his partnerships withFanDuel,Midnight Society,Turtle Beachand other sponsors were suspended.[74]

On September 6, 2024, Beahm returned to streaming on YouTube and issued a lengthy statement denying allegations that he sexted a minor and claimed that neither he "nor the Twitch user exchanged any sexually graphic messages or images".[75]He also claimed that Conners "wasn't even involved" in Twitch's investigation and "didn't have any firsthand knowledge about my dispute with Twitch", which Beahm said did not "escalate Twitch's report to law enforcement". Beahm additionally claimed that he never intended to meet her at TwitchCon, and accused the former Twitch community manager and "big-time publications" of targeting him.[76]
