YouTube star MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has been accused by a former employee of knowingly hiring a registered sex offender. The accusations were made public in a YouTube video by another former employee named Jake Weddle. Weddle claimed that MrBeast was aware of the person’s history and tried to cover it up by putting him in masks on camera.
Following the allegations, another former employee named Jake Franklin, also known as Jake the Viking, released a statement saying that the registered sex offender in question was his brother-in-law. Franklin explained that his brother-in-law is a registered sex offender who took a plea deal with his accuser, and charges are set to be dropped soon. He also stated that MrBeast knew about the situation when he was hired.
In response to the controversy, MrBeast’s company will be implementing changes to improve the work environment and ensure the safety of all employees. These changes include the introduction of new leadership roles within the company.
This accusation comes shortly after MrBeast’s longtime collaborator Ava Kris Tyson quit his popular channel following allegations of sending inappropriate messages to a minor. MrBeast has hired a third-party to conduct an investigation into these allegations as well. Despite the accusations, Tyson has denied any wrongdoing and stated that it was a mutual decision for her to step away from the channel.
The response to these accusations from MrBeast and his team shows a commitment to addressing and investigating any concerns raised about the conduct of employees within the company.
