Andrew Santamaria, Kick's Head of Strategic Partnership, has commented on whether Herschel "Guy," aka "Dr DisRespect," would get "instantly banned" from the platform amid his recent controversy. For those unaware, The Doc has taken the internet by storm after revealing the reason for his mysterious Twitch ban.
In a detailed post on X, Dr DisRespect admitted to contacting a minor through the Twitch Whispers feature in 2017. The situation led to Midnight Society, the developer of Deadrop, parting ways with the content creator. In addition, YouTube has paused paid membership for the "Two-Time Champ's" channel.
During a livestream on June 27, 2024, Andrew Santamaria received a message from a viewer inquiring whether The Doc would be allowed on the Stake-backed platform in light of the recent scandal. They wrote:

"So I understand The Doc stuff is very sensitive, that if Kick lets him on, it could be very negative. Would Dr DisRespect be allowed on Kick if he joined? Or if he would be instantly banned? Serious question."
In response, Santamaria said he does not "see that happening," adding that Dr DisRespect is on a "very serious holiday":
"I don't see that happening. I mean Doc coming over... I think Doc is on a holiday. Like a very, very, very serious holiday. Look, in my opinion - I just don't see that in the cards, and in terms of reality. I know you're asking a hyperbolic question. I understand you're asking, like, a fantasy-type of a question."
Kick's Head of Strategic Partnership says "there's a lot to be unwounded" about Dr DisRespect controversy after fan asks if the streamer would get "instantly banned"
Andrew Santamaria continued the conversation, claiming that "there's a lot to be unwounded" in the Dr. DisRespect controversy. He elaborated:
"There's still a lot to be unwound from The Doc saga. That's not going anywhere anytime soon. Just the cavern of whispers that are there that are to be unlocked. Who knows?"
Santamaria then added that it was "too soon" to talk about the matter:
"I think it's just too soon to even, like, consider that. Based on what I've seen with The Doc, I don't see the guy..."
In other news, prominent journalist Rod "Slasher" claimed that someone recently shared alleged details about Dr DisRespect, stating that they saw the YouTube streamer "in handcuffs."
