00:00Mr. Beast recently revealed on X, formerly Twitter, that he's hired a private investigator to look into the allegations made against his longtime
00:07friend and collaborator, Ava Tyson. Mr. Beast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, is a widely popular
00:14YouTuber known for his elaborate stunts, generous giveaways, and philanthropic endeavors. With over 100 million subscribers,
00:21he's famous for videos like giving away millions of dollars and creating viral challenges, making him one of the most influential creators on the platform.
00:28Mr. Beast has always held a fairly clean reputation,
00:32especially in the world of YouTubers, but a recent controversy is bringing his brand into headlines for the wrong reasons.
00:38Grooming allegations against one of Mr. Beast's collaborators, Ava Tyson, were brought to light in June. A group of fellow creators
00:45alleged that Tyson was messaging a 13-year-old when she was 20 years old. Tyson released a statement on X on Wednesday,
00:52July 25th, writing,
00:53I never groomed anyone. The person who gets brought up in these accusations at Lava GS has vocally supported that
01:00they are false. In a follow-up tweet, Tyson wrote,
01:03I humbly apologize to anyone I have hurt with my unacceptable social media posts,
01:08past actions, and those who may feel betrayed by how I used to act online. A few hours later, Mr.
01:14Beast took to X to share he hired an independent third party to investigate the allegations and went on to write,
01:19That said, I've seen enough online and taken immediate action to remove Ava from the company, my channel, and any association with Mr.
01:27Beast. I do not condone or support any of the inappropriate actions.
