MrBeast has addressed 'serious allegations' that were made against Ava Kris Tyson and has confirmed that he’ll no longer work with her.

The YouTuber, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, used to regularly work with Tyson and she would often appear in his videos.

The MrBeast channel recently earned the top spot for most subscribed on the platform, with over 300 million followers.

Donaldson was called the highest-earning creator of 2023 by Forbes and the highest-paid YouTuber in 2022.

It’s estimated that he earned $54 million last year alone.

Last year, Tyson revealed that she was started hormone replacement therapy and was updating her name and pronouns to she/her.

She also announced that she was separating from her wife.

Now, Tyson is facing allegations of grooming from fans who are minors. One exchange is claimed to have taken place when Tyson was 20 and the alleged victim was 13.

Since then, the alleged victim has now denied that they were the victim of grooming, saying they had run a Discord together that had hosted some “edgy inappropriate jokes”.

They said: “I was never exploited or taken advantage of.”

Donaldson has now spoken out to say that he is aware of the allegations against Tyson, and has hired third party investigators to look into the matter while deciding to “remove Ava from the company” and end their association.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, he wrote: “Over the last few days, I’ve become aware of the serious allegations of Ava Tyson's behavior online and I am disgusted and opposed to such unacceptable acts.

“During that time, I have been focused on hiring an independent third party to conduct a thorough investigation to ensure I have all the facts.

“That said, I’ve seen enough online and taken immediate action to remove Ava from the company, my channel, and any association with MrBeast. I do not condone or support any of the inappropriate actions.

“I will allow the independent investigators the necessary time to conduct a comprehensive investigation and will take any further actions based on their findings.”

Tyson denied the allegations made against her, and said it had been “mutually decided it's best I permanently step away from all things MrBeast and social media to focus on my family and mental health”.

She said: “I would like to apologise for any of my past behaviour or comments if it hurt or offended anyone. It was not my intent.

“I never groomed anyone. The person who gets brought up in these accusations has vocally supported that they are false.

“Having said that, I humbly apologise to anyone I have hurt with my unacceptable social media posts, past actions, and to those who may feel betrayed by how I used to act online.

“To lump these two factors together to create a narrative that my behaviour extended beyond bad edgy jokes is disgusting and did not happen.

“In past years, I have learned that my old humour is not acceptable. I cannot change who I was, but I can continue to work on myself.

“I don't want these accusations to impact the hundreds of people who work at MrBeast, which is why I have stepped away.”
