Many of DrDisrespect's most popular videos on his YouTube channel over the last 2 years feature content playing alongside or reacting to TimtheTatman. Because of this, many fans were waiting to hear what TimtheTatman would say in response to DrDisrespect admitting to sending inappropriate messages to a minor.
TimtheTatman's response arrived shortly after the Doc posted his official statement on Twitter.
"I have known Doc for a while now," said TimtheTatMan in a recent Twitter video. "We have played games for years. Seeing everything that is spiraling right now is a very difficult thing for me, personally."
It would seem as if the shock of Dr Disrespect's actions has hit TimTheTatMan harder than many others, considering their good friendship.
"My bottom line, I think is, if what he is saying where he said that he was messaging a minor, which would sometimes lead to - teeter on inappropriate; if he knew that was a minor and those were the messages being sent... I cannot support that."
