Culture MrBeast co-host quits after grooming allegations - Lol even the MSM is reporting this

MrBeast's YouTube co-host Ava Kris Tyson has quit the channel after grooming allegations, which she denies.

The 28-year-old US YouTuber, who has more than 22,000 subscribers on her own channel, was accused of sending inappropriate messages to a minor, reportedly then 13, when she was 20.

On X, Ava denied the claims saying, "I never groomed anyone", but apologised for her "past behaviour" in a statement.

She said that she and MrBeast - real name Jimmy Donaldson - have "mutually decided it’s best I permanently step away from all things MrBeast and social media to focus on my family and mental health".

Ava rose to fame after appearing alongside MrBeast on his channel, which has more than 300m subscribers, since 2012.

In 2022 he became the most subscribed YouTuber on the platform and is known for huge stunts and his philanthropic videos.

Ava revealed last year that she was a transgender woman and that she was undergoing gender-affirming therapy while changing her pronouns to she/her.

Allegations first surfaced against her last month in videos shared by other YouTubers which accuse her of messaging a minor when she was 20.

Ava responded by saying: "To create a narrative that my behaviour extended beyond bad edgy jokes is disgusting and did not happen.

"In past years, I have learned that my old humour is not acceptable. I cannot change who I was, but I can continue to work on myself.

"I humbly apologise to anyone I have hurt with my unacceptable social media posts, past actions, and to those who may feel betrayed by how I used to act online."

The alleged victim - who was named online - has come out to defend Ava saying: "These videos are massive lies and twisting the truth.

"Ava never did anything wrong and just made a few edgy jokes. I was never exploited or taken advantage of."

BBC Newsbeat has contacted representatives for Ava Kris Tyson and MrBeast for comment.

A trick I learned early on was to take a photo, like the one you posted, and cover the mouth with your finger, then move that finger to cover the eyes instead. It’s the easiest way to see if a smile is real or fake, and in this case, hoo boy…

I never liked Mr. Beast. Anyone who throws money around at "philanthropy" causes like he does usually always has something to hide. Call me cynical, but I never trusted the guy and his hard drive needs to be examined.

It's also not true philanthropy, he's receiving tax benefits for the charity, profiting off the video he makes of said charity, and brags about it far and wide to promote himself. Actually, the last point is spot on for "philanthropy"

Meh. Could say it's old style philanthropy... Do you think Rockefeller and Carnegie built libraries just for shits and giggles?

 

[Lieutenant Rasczak]

Allegations? Bro a lot of this shit is the truth, this very forum has the archives and a lot of the receipts.

 

[Product Placement]

It's good this is getting around, but shame how basic it is and how doesn't go into any of the shadman stuff.

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

Is this the troon that kept posting pictures of his 6 year old kid wearing his mothers clothes?

I can't keep all these disgusting troon pedophiles straight there's so many of them.

That's what I was going to say, it's the kind of philanthropy that's more like benevolent marketing. There's nothing wrong with it IMO.

The only thing "wrong" with it is how effective it is at making peoples' lives better in comparison to "but I meant well" socialism.

 

[Wii U]

Are they starting to call anyone who makes edgy jokes pedophiles? That's creepy.

1) This troon does legitimately seem to be a groomer.
2) Yes, that's where we are: growing moral panics on the Right. It will take a long time before they catch up with the Left, though.

Up until yesterday I thought Shadman was that asian(?) guy who wore the green body suit from early Youtube. When someone replied to things with 'shadman' I took that as a reference to green bodysuit guy. The internet needs to end.

That's it! I knew he reminded me of someone.

The alleged victim - who was named online - has come out to defend Ava saying: "These videos are massive lies and twisting the truth.

"Ava never did anything wrong and just made a few edgy jokes. I was never exploited or taken advantage of."

Stockholm Syndrome, starstruck or paid off?

You see, the problem here is that the victim was under age while Chris was an adult. Therefore the responsibility to conduct himself properly around minors falls on him. Because he's an adult and should know better. Also, being on a channel with 300 million subscribers, most of which are probably minors or were minors when they first subscribed, says a lot about how you should be interacting with them doesn't it? Don't personally interact with fans outside of public events.

Are they starting to call anyone who makes edgy jokes pedophiles? That's creepy.

This troon seems to be the real deal. Plus as I said above, as an adult with a huge subscriber base he needs to conduct himself in a manner that doesn't scream "pedo" at all times in order to stay out of hot water. He didn't do that. His first mistake was personally messaging fans.

Mr. Beast looks like the kind of guy who has a floor freezer full of prostitute parts in his basement.

The fuck? That raises a lot of questions.

You know what's creepy? The number of people who make 'edgy jokes' about pedophilia, who turn out to be pedophiles. That's creepy.
