MrBeast Reported to FBI Over Allegations of Unsafe Work Conditions and Inappropriate Chat Logs

Popular YouTube personality MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has been reported to the FBI following allegations of unsafe work conditions and the revelation of inappropriate chat logs involving his staff. The accusations were brought to light by fellow YouTuber Rosanna Pansino, who has been investigating various claims against MrBeast and his company.

The chat logs in question were reportedly exchanged between MrBeast and his team, including former associate Ava Kris Tyson, on a Telegram channel. These messages have been submitted to the FBI by Pansino, who also shared a detailed video on YouTube highlighting the content of the chats. The discussions included inappropriate topics such as explicit images and sexual content, which have raised significant concerns given that MrBeast’s content often caters to a younger audience.

The allegations also involve accusations of unsafe work conditions during the production of MrBeast’s upcoming Amazon Prime Video reality show, “Beast Games.” Pansino, who has over 14 million subscribers and is known for her baking content, has been a vocal critic of MrBeast since their professional relationship soured in October 2023. She has expressed her determination to hold MrBeast and his company accountable for their actions.

Tyson, who was involved in the controversial chat logs, has faced criticism for her interactions with an individual known as LavaGS, which began when he was 13 and she was 20. These interactions included discussions about explicit content, leading to public apologies and denials from both parties. MrBeast has since severed ties with Tyson and initiated an independent investigation into the matter.

Pansino’s decision to report the chat logs to the FBI and share her findings publicly has encouraged other individuals to come forward with their own negative experiences working with MrBeast. Her actions have sparked a renewed sense of purpose for her, as she stated in an interview with NBC News that she feels compelled to act in light of the allegations.
