In a recent controversy, Ava Kris Tyson, co-host on the popular MrBeast YouTube channel, has faced allegations of grooming a minor. This has prompted significant reactions from both MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, and Ava Kris Tyson herself.
The allegations surfaced less than a month after similar accusations led to the disappearance of Dr Disrespect from the internet. Reports claim that Ava Kris Tyson, who began her gender transition in 2023 and was formerly known as Chris Tyson, formed a relationship with a 13-year-old fan, identified as ‘Lava,’ and maintained contact over several years through social media and a shared Discord server. Evidence suggests that Ava Kris Tyson sent inappropriate messages to Lava, although Lava has since defended Ava Kris Tyson, insisting that the interactions were merely “edgy jokes.”
Many YouTubers called out the big influencers for being hypocritical regarding the Ava Chris Tyson situation involving grooming minors. They pointed out that these influencers were very vocal in their responses during the Dr. Disrespect situation. Popular streamer xQc was first to point out this.
Another popular youtuber MoistCritical aka penguinz0 also reacted to this crazy situation related to Ava Kris Tyson on his youtube channel.
MrBeast responded to the allegations on social media, expressing his disgust and announcing Ava Kris Tyson’s removal from his channel and company. He emphasized that he does not condone any inappropriate actions and has hired a third-party investigator to thoroughly examine the claims.
Ava Kris Tyson has publicly denied the grooming allegations but apologized for her past behavior. She announced her departure from all MrBeast projects to focus on her family and “mental health”, expressing regret for any harm caused by her previous social media posts. Additionally, Ava Kris Tyson has been linked to interactions with controversial artist Shadman, known for creating provocative artwork featuring young characters. This connection has intensified scrutiny and criticism from various corners of the internet.
Former MrBeast team member Jake Franklin added fuel to the fire by suggesting that MrBeast was aware of Tyson’s actions. However, this claim remains vague and unsubstantiated.
As the third-party investigation continues, fans and critics await its findings to determine the full extent of the allegations and any further actions. With 306 million subscribers on his primary YouTube channel, MrBeast is navigating the fallout from these serious accusations while maintaining his commitment to transparency and justice.
Ava Kris Tyson has since made her social media profiles private and has been actively removing posts referenced in the allegations. The situation remains dynamic, with ongoing developments expected as the investigation progresses.
Meanwhile, MrBeast has recently inked a deal with Amazon’s Prime Video for “Beast Games,” a reality competition show promising the winner a $5 million cash prize. No premiere date has yet been announced.
