MrBeast Under Fire: All Allegations Against the YouTuber So Far
22 August 2024
Kaleb Vanderhorst Author MrBeast has been under fire for months now, as it seems every single day, some new drama comes out about him or his production. From badly managed events to fraud and illegal lotteries, MrBeast is in some seriously hot water.
Minor Controversies
Faked Videos:
There have been many accusations flying around that MrBeast may, in fact, fake many of his videos. Back in July, a Youtuber by the name of DogPack404 claimed to have worked for MrBeast and stated that many of his most popular videos were completely fake.
In a longer video titled, “I work for MrBeast, He’s a Fraud,” the YouTuber elaborated on his alleged time working for MrBeast. There, he talked about how the clips were created, and how CGI was used in a ton of videos.
In the video, he talked about all the faked parts of many videos, stating:
“This train track is CGI, these bus wheels are CGI, this explosion is fake (from the Train Vs Giant Pit video), this shredder is CGI (from the Lamborghini Vs World’s Largest Shredder video).”
This is all alleged, and many of the edits are minor, however, in the case of the train video, it completely invalidates the concept.
Another former member of the MrBeast, Rossana Pansino, also came out to speak about the fake videos. Her example being the video where Airack would supposedly have to delete his channel, but it never happened.
Stolen Clothes and Medicine at Events:
Rossana Pansino also went on to talk about an odd shoot for a video where they took every contestant’s underwear and medicine.
In a tweet, she said:
“Jimmy’s production team took every contestant’s underwear and medicine from them for some weird reason. They were told they would be given back each night to change but were not. Multiple female contestants (sic) messaged me saying that Beast Games still has her underwear.”

Major Controversies
Ava Khris Tyson Grooming Allegations

Ava was a long-time member of MrBeast’s crew, with appearances in his earliest videos, however, in recent years, some troubling screenshots have popped up. In said screenshots, she was very close with an underage friend. Ava vehemently denies that any grooming occurred.
However, MrBeast still put out a statement regarding the matter, stating:
“Over the last few days, I’ve become aware of the serious allegations of Ava Tyson’s behaviour online, and I am disgusted and opposed to such unacceptable acts. During that time, I have been focused on hiring an independent third party to conduct a thorough investigation to ensure I have all the facts.”
Illegal Lottery Allegations
The main allegation against MrBeast regarding his illegal lotteries is the fact that his giveaways involve minors, and that several supposed friends of MrBeast have won prize money undeservedly.
The first allegation comes from MrBeasts’ T-shirt giveaway, where he gave $1,000,000 to a lucky contestant who bought a shirt.
This would be entirely illegal despite the fact that the small print added that 24 people from chat would be selected, so it technically wouldn’t be a lottery but a sweepstakes.
Regardless, it seems quite shady to be taking money from a lot of children and then hiding behind legal jargon.
