MrBeast hit with fresh misconduct and cover-up allegations by ex-employee

An alleged former MrBeast employee makes fresh claims of misconduct and cover-ups within the company.

Dawson French, known online as DogPack404, has released a series of videos on his YouTube channel, making serious allegations against the popular YouTuber MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson. 

French, who claims to have worked for MrBeast from February to June 2024, has garnered significant attention for his accusations, although his status as a former employee has not been officially confirmed.

In his latest video, French focuses on new claims of misconduct involving MrBeast's team, particularly James Warren, who he alleges is the secret CEO of MrBeast's company. French accuses Warren of being involved in covering up instances of sexual assault within the organization. 

"MrBeast has very publicly and transparently been engaging in a massive cover-up, deleting a lot of evidence," French stated. He further alleges that Warren has a history of aggressive behavior and domestic violence. "I've heard him referred to as a psychopath who screams at people and hits his girlfriends," French claimed, adding that these accounts have been corroborated by multiple sources.

French emphasized that his video is not monetized and is intended for educational purposes, underscoring the public interest in these matters. "This video is not monetized; it's for educational purposes only. These are matters of public interest," he explained.

Despite facing challenges in gathering evidence, French noted that traditional media outlets, including the New York Times and Time Magazine, have shown interest in the story. "I've been referring people to more legitimate sources because traditional media has more resources and better legal protections than I do," he said.

French's videos have also prompted legal action from MrBeast's company. On July 31, 2024, French received a cease-and-desist letter demanding the removal of his videos. However, he chose to ignore these warnings and continued to release more content. "My goal is to bring more information to light and hold MrBeast accountable," he asserted, showing his determination to pursue the matter despite the legal pressure.

These allegations have sparked widespread debate online, with many waiting to see how MrBeast will respond to these serious claims. "If his response is bad, I can point out where he lied and drop new allegations," French warned, suggesting that more revelations could be forthcoming.
