Mr. Beast is talking about his former co-host Ava Kris Tyson has been the target of critical accusations of grooming… and assures followers that he is investigating the matter.
The web star issued his statement on Wednesday after Ava announced she was stepping down from her position on the uber-popular YouTube channel amid the controversy. MrBeast confirmed he will not be working with AKT and revealed he has hired a third party to conduct an investigation into the allegations.
As MB said… there was enough evidence to take Ava away from his employees, but he will let the investigation play out before deciding to take any further action.
He added… “I am disgusted and stand against such unacceptable acts… I do not condone or support any of these inappropriate actions.”
Ava was accused of grooming a younger fan — who goes by the name LavaGS — after YouTube user Prism42 made a 45-minute video criticizing their dynamic. In the now-viral video, Prism42 accused Ava of sending inappropriate messages to LavaGS when he was just 13 years old.
The YouTube personality addressed the controversy on Tuesday X, where she apologized for her past habits, which she described as “dangerous and edgy jokes”… but denied grooming anyone.
Ava — who came out as trans last year — has faced a lot of online harassment in recent months… with the new allegations of grooming sparking new transphobic attacks online.
LavaGS, who is now 20, also refuted the grooming allegations and defended Ava from the growing controversy, which he called “big lies.”
He added… “Ava never did anything wrong and just made some dirty jokes. I was never exploited or taken advantage of.”
We’re sure there will be more to come… so stay tuned.
