Ava Kris Tyson, a co-host on Mr Beast's YouTube channel with 300 million subscribers, has decided to step away after accusations of an 'inappropriate' relationship with a child. She expressed regret and apologized to anyone who may have felt disappointed or let down.
She mentioned that she did not want the accusations to affect the employees at MrBeast, which is why she chose to take a step back.
Tyson, aged 28, became popular for his actions on the MrBeast channel, which is famous for its daring challenges and charitable projects. During an appearance on X yesterday, he expressed regret for any past actions or words that may have caused harm or insult to others. He clarified that it was not his intention to do so.
After considering recent events, we have both agreed that it is in my best interest to permanently distance myself from anything related to MrBeast and social media. I need to prioritize my family and mental well-being.
She has been featured in MrBeast's YouTube videos ever since he started his channel in 2012.
Ava Kris Tyson, known for her work on MrBeast's channel, which has 305 million subscribers, is accused of beginning a relationship when the child was 13 years old.
Tyson used to help out on MrBeast's YouTube channel as a co-host. They have been good friends for a long time.
Tyson and MrBeast, whose actual name is Jimmy Donaldson, have been friends since they were kids. Donaldson originally brought Tyson on board to manage his YouTube channel, and eventually they ended up partnering up as co-hosts.
She continued to say on social media that she never manipulated anyone. She also mentioned that the person mentioned in the accusations has openly denied them.
Despite that, I sincerely apologize to anyone I have offended with my inappropriate social media posts, previous behavior, and those who may feel let down by my past online conduct," the influencer stated.
Tyson is accused of sending inappropriate messages to a young person that they first met when the individual was 13 and Tyson was 20 years old.
The two individuals reportedly met after the kid was declared the winner of an internet contest.
During that period, Tyson was recognized by YouTube followers as 'Chris' because she had not made the change to her gender identity yet.
Tyson, who shares a child with his former wife, reportedly conversed with the fan for years on public internet forums before meeting in person once the teenager reached the age of 16.
The adult fan stated that they do not consider themselves a victim and have shown support for Tyson. However, they acknowledged that some of the messages were deemed 'inappropriate' and 'edgy'.
With the publication of a collection of revealing videos and clips, the connection between Tyson and some controversial posts has come back into the spotlight.
In a recent post on X, Tyson apologized for any hurtful or offensive behavior or comments from the past. He expressed that it was never his intention to cause harm. The fan, now grown up, stated that they do not consider themselves a victim and has supported Tyson. However, they did acknowledge that some of the messages were slightly controversial.
Tyson stated on X that she has never manipulated anyone, but she did apologize to those who may have been affected by her inappropriate posts on social media.
Several posts depict Tyson engaging with 'Shadman', an artist recognized for illustrating underage characters in inappropriate positions.
In a previous blog entry, Tyson pleaded with Shadman to create a depiction of an anime girl who appeared to be 10 years old. Additional blog entries by Tyson demonstrate his tendency to erotically objectify animated child characters.
The controversy arises only one month after Dr Disrespect, a famous Twitch streamer, was banned from the online platform for confessing to sending inappropriate messages to a young person.
The commotion on social media started because of a series of videos that allegedly showed Instagram pictures of Tyson and the young person who had visited them at school.
The two photos display Tyson in 2020 with two other men. The individual who is thought to be underage is blurred out.
DailyMail.com is unable to confirm the authenticity of the images on its own.
Reports are saying that a kid named 'Lava' supposedly met Tyson at a fan gathering after winning a competition hosted by MrBeast's YouTube channel, which both Tyson and MrBeast launched back in 2012. This information comes from Insider Gaming.
