MrBeast—YouTube’s golden boy, the man who turns giving away millions into a viral sport. Lately, however, our philanthropic prankster has found himself in a pickle. The drama surrounding Ava Kris Tyson, a former collaborator, has taken center stage, and let’s just say, it’s not the kind of content MrBeast usually thrives on.

What Happened in Discord That Led to All The Drama?

Ava Kris Tyson has been accused of some seriously shady behavior—allegations that include inappropriate comments towards minors in a Discord server. It’s like the plot of a bad teen drama, but unfortunately, this is real life. MrBeast’s presence in that Discord means he was likely aware of what was happening, which raises a few eyebrows.

A former employee has come forward with a laundry list of accusations against MrBeast himself. We’re talking about claims that he fakes videos, scripts his content, and even runs illegal lotteries. Let’s not forget the allegations of exploiting his young audience and falsely promoting his Feastables as healthier than they really are.

Why is MrBeast Deleting Comments In The YouTube Videos?

You’d think that with all this swirling drama, MrBeast would be on the front lines, addressing the concerns of his fans. Instead, he’s been eerily quiet, aside from announcing a third-party investigation into Tyson’s activities. Meanwhile, his latest video, “Survive 100 Days In Nuclear Bunker, Win $500,000,” has become a way for fans to voice their frustrations.

Viewers have reported that any comments mentioning these allegations are disappearing. When you click on a reply, YouTube gives an “error” message, and the comment vanishes upon refresh. This sort of censorship only makes me more suspicious that the claims raised against him are real. If the company were truly innocent, they wouldn’t go this far to silence negative press; they would let the proof speak for itself.

Comments like “WeKnowWhatYouDidJimmy” and “HesCensoringTheReplies” are popping up, cleverly crafted to dodge the supposed censorship. MrBeast’s latest video racked up millions of views in record time, but it also attracted a lot of dislikes. His $1,000,000 YouTuber challenge video has over 500,000 dislikes, and it’s clear that fans are not happy campers.

Is MrBeast Defending Ava or Himself?

Is MrBeast defending Ava Kris Tyson, or is he just trying to protect his own brand? The line between the two seems to be blurring fast. While he’s confirmed an investigation, his lack of personal commentary has led many to speculate that he’s more focused on dodging the fallout than addressing the issues head-on and protecting his colleague at the same time.

It comes as no surprise that MrBeast is eager for the internet to move on from this and prestend it never happened, but a certain TV app which has not been updated in a while still shows the deleted comments on his YouTube channel. The digital footprint is hard to erase on this one. His fans are watching, and we’re all just waiting to see what happens next.
