In July 2024, Ava Kris Tyson, a former employee of MrBeast, left the YouTuber’s team after allegations surfaced that she had “groomed” a young fan.

Just hours later, Donaldson vowed to investigate the situation and claimed he was unaware of any prior wrongdoing. However, this new information indicates that the YouTuber may have known more than he initially let on.

“I have received thousands of messages from an official MrBeast work chat,” begins Pansino in the new YouTube video.

“These are all just their work chats from 2020 to 2021,” she revealed before also stating that she “verified the legitimacy of these chats with former MrBeast employees, and let me tell you, they are insane.”

She further noted that these leaked messages were from a Telegram channel that MrBeast used when speaking to his employees. She also included a trigger warning due to the “inappropriate topics” mentioned throughout the conversations.

Telegram

That in itself is a red flag.

I hate the reputation Telegram has gotten (though I understand). I still use it for family group chats ever since I left iPhones and iMessages. Back then it was basically just a less restricted WhatsApp

Right? Every time I see MrBeast's name in the news, my reaction is always, "oh fuck, what now?"
