Former MrBeast employee alleges sexual assault by Ava Kris Tyson
A former employee of the popular YouTube channel MrBeast, Jess, known online as 'Mooskina,' has come forward with allegations against Ava Kris Tyson. Jess claims that she was “coerced” and sexually assaulted by Ava while working as her assistant. These allegations follow previous accusations of “grooming” a fan, LavaGS, which led Ava to step down from the MrBeast channel. MrBeast’s creator, Jimmy Donaldson, announced a third-party investigation into the matter.
I was sexually assaulted by Ava Tyson and here is my story:
For Context Ava and I are both adults and met each other as adults
Ava followed me on Twitter in November of 2022 after seeing my transition timelines on Twitter when I had under 500 followers.🧵 pic.twitter.com/vREgZt0Jlt— Mooskina (@Genderillennial) July 27, 2024
Jess shared her experience on X (formerly Twitter) on July 27, describing how her relationship with Ava began after Ava followed her on Twitter in 2022. They discussed HRT and potential appearances in MrBeast videos. Jess alleges that their relationship soon became sexual, with Ava “love-bombing” her into feeling like “the most important person in her life.” Jess claims this led to a “one-sided” sexual relationship, with Ava “never reciprocating.”
Despite discovering that Ava could not cast anyone in a MrBeast video, Jess returned to work as her assistant. They lived together and allegedly resumed their sexual relationship. Jess wrote, “I had just moved in with Ava and left my job to come work as her assistant. In no way shape or form did I feel like I could say no without somehow risking my job or being asked to leave.” She described feeling “coerced” due to the “power dynamic” between them.
Jess disclosed that she eventually spoke to HR about her relationship with Ava, leading MrBeast to initiate a third-party investigation. Jess mentioned that no updates have been provided since the investigation was promised. Regarding her decision to come forward, Jess said, “I don’t want hush money and I don’t want clout. I just want to be able to move on with my life and close this chapter.”
As of now, neither Ava nor MrBeast have responded to the allegations. However, Discord messages have surfaced, reportedly showing Ava instructing minors to create and manage chats centered around explicit images.
