DisRespect admitted to cheating on his wife and needing time off to focus on his mistakes. On Jan. 19, DisRespect announced his return to streaming in a Twitter post. DisRespect's wife made an appearance in the Twitter video, holding a knife to DisRespect's throat.DisRespect's stream went live at around 2:20pm ET, hitting more than 345,000 viewers within 20 minutes. That number continues to grow as the stream continues.In early January, League of Legends streamer Tyler \"Tyler1\" Steinkamp made his similarly anticipated return to Twitch, reaching 300,000 viewers in under 20 minutes.
