The MrBeast production company found itself in more hot water when another YouTuber, Rosanna Pansino, reported company chat logs to the FBI.
The MrBeast production company run by the figurehead Jimmy Donaldson has had a pretty turbulent year. There have been many controversies surrounding the world’s biggest YouTube creator starting with the expulsion of longtime collaborator Ava Tyson over inappropriate messages to minors and allegations of poor treatment of staff and contestants on the upcoming Prime Video Beast Games. Controversy has followed the launch of his new product called Lunchly, a product marketed towards kids referred to as a “healthier alternative” to Lunchables.
This product was created alongside PRIME figureheads KSI and Logan Paul, and there have been many video reports of the product containing mould, reports corroborated by video live streamer aSpicyCow posted on X. These aren’t the only three controversies surrounding the creator, as other YouTube personalities have begun to speak out against him.
Dawson French, a YouTube creator and former employee of Jimmy Donaldson also known as DogPack404 has released a trilogy of videos on the platform denouncing his former employer for allegations of bad employment practices, fabricating ‘challenge’ videos, faking signatures on fan merch that he assured was signed by him, and overall calling MrBeast himself a “sociopath”.
Sunday, DogPack404 and another popular YouTube creator, Rosanna Pansino released a video this week that goes over explicit chat logs allegedly taken from a MrBeast work Telegram. Rosanna Pansino explains in a video titled “MrBeast KNEW All Along…” “These are from a Telegram channel that MrBeast (John Smith in these chats) used to communicate with Kris Ava Tyson and other employees,” Pansino continued. “Trigger warning as they discuss many inappropriate topics (especially for a company that targets children).”
This allegation suggests Donaldson himself knew about the allegations against Tyson and engaged in the same behaviour under the alias John Smith. Pansino then made an X (formerly Twitter) post that claims she reported the chat logs to the FBI, which can be seen below.
It’s important to note that neither MrBeast himself nor his production company at large have responded or made any comments against the ongoing allegations it faces. CGMagazine will update this story once they do.
