MrBeast has promised to carry out an internal investigation after his YouTube co-host Ava Kris Tyson was accused of grooming a minor, but fans are still unhappy

MrBeast has received millions of dislikes on his latest YouTube video following the Ava Kris Tyson grooming allegations, according to online data.

The YouTube star, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, vowed to launch an investigation after Tyson was accused of allegedly “spending years communicating with the fan on public online forums” before meeting in-person when the teen turned 16 years old. Both Tyson and the alleged victim deny the allegations.

While MrBeast said he does not “condone any of the inappropriate actions” and Tyson stepped back from the channel, viewers are still unhappy. Fans have made their feelings known in MrBeast’s latest video, where he challenges two people to survive 100 days in a nuclear bunker for the chance to win $500,000.

The video has been hit with millions of dislikes amid the grooming allegations. The post, which was released on August 4, already has more than 1.8million dislikes, according to data from YouTube Dislike Viewer.

YouTube itself has stopped monitoring dislikes on videos, with the decision coming into play in 2021. YouTube Dislike Viewer can only provide an estimate of the number of dislikes.

After the serious allegations against Tyson surfaced earlier this month, MrBeast shared a post on X addressing the situation. “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,” he said.

“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 has been accused of sending inappropriate photos to a fan. One Snapshot conversation allegedly sent from Tyson to messaging editor showed a picture of her face with the text “Cumming for America” written on it, according to Rolling Stone.

Tyson was accused by user Prism42 on TikTok of “grooming” and sending the messages to Lava when he was 13 and she was 20 years old. The allegations have since been refuted by the alleged victim.

Tyson released a statement in light of the grooming allegations. “I would like to apologize for any of my past behavior or comments if it hurt or offended anyone. It was not my intent,” she said on X.

She continued: “Seeing recent events we’ve mutually decided it’s best I permanently step away from all things MrBeast and social media to focus on my family and mental health.” After the viral clip accusing Ava of grooming Lava went viral online, the alleged victim directly responded to the social media post and publicly refuted the claims.

In a post on X Lava wrote: “These videos are massive lies and twisting the truth. Ava never did anything wrong and just made a few edgy jokes,” and continued: “Can you do me a favor and comment on these videos and tell them to stop spreading lies. This situation takes away from children who are actively being exploited every day online. I am not a victim of anything being claimed in these videos or at all.”
