Amid allegations against Ava Kris Tyson, a founding member of the MrBeast channel, MrBeast has publicly addressed the situation, vowing to conduct a third-party investigation while confirming that Tyson has been removed from the company.
The allegations, which surfaced on July 21, accused Tyson of “grooming” a young fan based on unearthed messages allegedly showing her at the age of 20 engaging in communication with a 13-year-old individual. In response, Tyson issued an apology and announced her departure from MrBeast’s team on July 23.
Following Tyson’s apology, MrBeast released a statement expressing his disgust and opposition to the alleged behavior. He emphasized his focus on hiring an independent third party to conduct a thorough investigation to ensure that all the facts are uncovered. MrBeast affirmed that, based on the information available, he had promptly taken action to remove Tyson from the company, his channel, and any association with MrBeast. He stated his intention to await the completion of the investigation before taking further action based on its findings.
In the wake of the allegations, a supposed victim, LavaGS, defended Tyson, asserting that she had not engaged in any wrongdoing and had only made “edgy jokes.” LavaGS denied being “groomed” and emphasized that Tyson had never exploited or taken advantage of him.
In response to the allegations, Tyson maintained that she had never groomed anyone, categorically denying the accusations while expressing remorse for her past behavior on social media. She humbly apologized to those who may have been hurt by her past social media posts and actions, acknowledging the potential feelings of betrayal by her previous online conduct.
