Streamer xQc harshly criticised Ava Kris Tyson’s response to grooming allegations, calling it ‘copout, dogsh*t trash'

Streamer xQc harshly criticised Ava Kris Tyson’s response to allegations of grooming a young fan, calling her apology “copout, dogsh*t trash.” Tyson has left MrBeast’s team and apologised for her behaviour, but her statement has drawn criticism from several high-profile influencers.

I would like to apologize for any of my past behavior or comments if it hurt or offended anyone. It was not my intent. Seeing recent events we’ve mutually decided it’s best I permanently step away from all things MrBeast and social media to focus on my family and mental health.

On July 23, 2024, Ava Kris Tyson, former member of YouTube star MrBeast’s team, issued a series of tweets apologising for her “unacceptable” behaviour and announcing her decision to step back from social media to “focus on my family and mental health.” This apology came amid allegations of inappropriate conduct with an underaged fan. However, her response has been met with significant criticism from the online community, including prominent influencers.

Kick streamer xQc did not hold back in expressing his disapproval of Tyson’s response. Comparing her situation to that of Dr Disrespect, who was banned from Twitch in 2020 for inappropriate messages to a minor, xQc stated, “I had this energy with the Doc, I’m gonna say it over here, as well: Copout, dogsht trash.” He added, “You know you have skeletons [in your closet]. You know it’s dogsht. You’re acting in irresponsible ways. You’re doing dumb sh*t. You work for a lot of people… you are taking a risk for the whole squad the entire time, and you’re doing it knowingly.”

xQc further criticised Tyson’s belated apology, saying, “You’re saying, ‘My bad if this affected anybody. I’m gonna do the right thing.’ You should have done the right thing. You haven’t done the right thing for years. You’re dumb as f*ck.” He also pointed out the lack of discussion among other influencers about Tyson’s situation, tweeting, “Pretty deviant behavior across the board. Weirdo. Can’t wait to read some of the cope justifications on why it wasn’t addressed.”

Other influencers have also condemned Tyson’s apology. YouTube star Valkyrae called her response “disappointing and disgusting,” while Twitch streamer Kai Cenat and FaZe Banks labelled Tyson a “weirdo,” drawing parallels to Dr Disrespect’s scandal.
