The world's most popular YouTuber, Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson, says he's "disgusted" by allegations made about the channel's longtime co-host Ava Tyson grooming a teenager online. Donaldson said in a statement that he's commissioned an independent investigation to get to the facts, but has already "seen enough online and taken immediate action to remove Ava from the company, my channel, and any association with MrBeast."
Ava Tyson has worked on MrBeast's channel from the very beginning in 2012, but in recent weeks allegations began to surface about her interactions with a young competition winner. The individual was 13 years old at the time, and Tyson ran a Discord server with them and interacted on social media. The core allegations centre around screencaps of inappropriate messages Tyson allegedly sent to the minor, some of a sexual nature.
