YouTube sensation MrBeast's girlfriend, Thea Booysen, has addressed the ongoing controversies surrounding her famous partner. 

Jimmy 'MrBeast' Donaldson is facing criticism due to allegations that he knowingly hired a registered sex offender featured in his past videos. 

This follows previous controversies involving his former collaborator, Ava Kris Tyson, intensifying scrutiny on MrBeast. 

Amidst the backlash, fans are urging Thea Booysen, MrBeast's South African influencer girlfriend with her own YouTube channel focused on Disney's Lorcana card game, to reconsider their relationship. 

On August 10, 2024, a commenter even implored her in Afrikaans to end her relationship with MrBeast.

The viewer wrote, “As a fellow South African and an admirer of your intelligence and good nature, please get away from the Beast as soon as you can,” according to the YouTube translation.

“I appreciate the message,” Booysen responded. 

“There is so much that is not being said, I wish I could talk more about the situation. Half the things that are said are not true, I wouldn’t be with him if they were.”

“It is so important to me to be a good person. Hopefully things will be fixed soon, but for now I’m focusing on my studies and trying to stay away from everything.”

This is the latest comment from MrBeast’s inner circle amid the ongoing wave of criticism directed at the YouTuber. Booysen’s statement comes after MrBeast’s former girlfriend, Maddy Spidell, posted a series of cryptic messages on social media that seemed to allude to her ex.

In her posts, Spidell appeared to label MrBeast as a “weirdo” and advised other women to view her previous relationship with the YouTuber as a “cautionary tale.”

Her comments appear to conflict with Booysen's statements. 

So far, MrBeast has not issued an official response to the recent allegations, but he has promised a “full investigation” into his company, according to a leaked internal email.
