MrBeast has addressed the recent allegations against his long-time collaborator Ava Kris Tyson, who has resigned from the MrBeast media organisation following accusations of inappropriate behaviour with a minor.

James Stephen Donaldson, famously known as MrBeast, expressed his disgust and opposition to Tyson's actions. He stated that he has hired an independent third party to investigate and has removed Tyson from the company, his channel, and any association with MrBeast.

However, the response has drawn criticism from other creators on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The Quartering accused MrBeast of knowing about Tyson’s actions and refusing to accept responsibility, claiming that MrBeast has a large audience of children and is just as culpable. The Quartering argued that MrBeast, who has 200 million children in his audience, allowed Tyson, accused of being a predator, to prey on multiple young teenagers.

This criticism has intensified the scrutiny on MrBeast's handling of the situation and his past actions.

Additionally, old statements by MrBeast about Tyson’s behaviour have resurfaced, suggesting that he was previously warned.

Adding to the controversy, Keemstar highlighted a discrepancy between Tyson’s claim of a mutual agreement to step away and MrBeast’s statement that he fired Tyson.
