Former MrBeast Associate Resigns After Inappropriate Message Accusations
Tyson Denies Wrongdoing, MrBeast Launches Internal Investigation
Ava Kris Tyson, a former co-host of popular YouTube channel MrBeast, has announced her departure from the channel following allegations that she groomed a minor. The allegations, which surfaced online this week, have prompted MrBeast to launch an internal investigation.
According to the allegations, Tyson sent inappropriate messages to a young fan who is said to have been underage at the time. Tyson has denied the allegations, calling them "false and defamatory." However, the controversy has led to widespread criticism of Tyson and MrBeast, who has been accused of not doing enough to prevent or address the alleged misconduct.
In a statement posted to her social media accounts, Tyson said she was "deeply saddened" by the allegations and that she had "never done anything inappropriate." She also said she would be taking a break from social media and YouTube while the allegations are investigated.
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, said in a statement that he was "shocked and saddened" by the allegations. He said that he had hired an independent investigator to look into the matter and that he would take "appropriate action" based on the findings.
