Why did Ava Kris Tyson leave MrBeast?

Ava Kris Tyson, a prominent co-host on MrBeast’s YouTube channel, has stepped down amid serious allegations of sending inappropriate messages to a minor.

Tyson, who gained fame through her work with the popular MrBeast crew, has faced accusations of sending inappropriate messages to a minor when she was 20 years old. The allegations include claims of grooming and a potentially inappropriate relationship with a 13-year-old. These allegations have led to her decision to resign from the channel. In her departure announcement, Tyson cited a mutual decision with MrBeast to step away for the sake of her mental health and family. She stated her decision to step back from both the MrBeast brand and social media.

Tyson had previously made headlines for her significant personal journey, including her coming out as a transgender woman in 2023 and her ongoing gender-affirming therapy.

What were the allegations against Ava Kris Tyson?

Last month, allegations surfaced against Ava Kris Tyson when fellow YouTubers released videos accusing her of starting an inappropriate sexual relationship with a minor. Two videos, posted after June 25, claim that Tyson, then about 20 years old, began messaging the alleged victim when he was 13.

The accuser alleges that Tyson sent inappropriate messages to a minor via X and through Discord. Allegedly, Tyson jokingly mentioned selling her naked pictures to the accuser in the messages. However, whether any images were actually exchanged has not been confirmed.

The individual said to be the victim has spoken out against the allegations, saying that the accusations are “lies” and that they were “never exploited or taken advantage of.”

Ava Kris Tyson broke her silence on X, addressing the allegations for the first time. She expressed regret and wrote, “I humbly apologize to anyone I have hurt with my unacceptable social media posts, past actions, and to those who may feel betrayed by how I used to act online.” Tyson also denied the accusations and stated, “To create a narrative that my behavior extended beyond bad edgy jokes is disgusting and did not happen.”

Mr. Beast has also commented on the allegations, saying that he had hired a third-party to investigate the situation, saying that he was “disgusted and opposed to such unacceptable acts.”
