MrBeast has finally broken his silence on the grooming allegations levelled against his frequent YouTube collaborator Ava Kris Tyson, denouncing the supposed acts as “disgusting” and firmly distancing himself from his long-time friend.
In a statement shared on July 24, the famed YouTuber told fans he had been waiting to comment until an independent third-party investigator had updated him with “all the facts.” While that investigation is still pending, MrBeast now feels like he’s “seen enough online” to immediately remove Tyson from his entertainment company. “I do not condone or support any of the inappropriate actions,” he stated.
Tyson was accused of sending a then 13-year-old MrBeast fan inappropriate and suggestive jokes, and while the viewer in question has refuted the claims, many across the internet have been calling for her to be legally investigated. Tyson, now 28, moved to separate herself from the MrBeast channel earlier today.
Much of the outrage across social media platforms like Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) revolved around the fact MrBeast had not immediately condemned Tyson after the accusations emerged.
