00:00Following days of speculation and cries from the internet to release a statement about
00:04the disturbing grooming allegations against Ava Chris Tyson, Mr. Beast has finally broken
00:09his silence on the matter.
00:11Mr. Beast took to X to address the scandal that has surrounded the longtime member of
00:15his crew, explaining that he'd recently been made aware of the accusations.
00:20In recent days, numerous screenshots have been posted online of numerous inappropriate
00:24exchanges between Tyson and an underage fan, and multiple sources have suggested that this
00:29is just the tip of the iceberg.
00:31Mr. Beast's statement plainly states,
00:33"...I'm disgusted and opposed to such unacceptable acts."
00:37After that, however, the statement gets into some other details that have caused some confusion
00:41from onlookers.
00:42For instance, Mr. Beast explained,
00:44"...I have been focused on hiring an independent third party to conduct a thorough investigation
00:49to ensure I have all the facts."
00:51However, the YouTuber noted that the evidence he's seen since the scandal broke out has
00:55already convinced him to fire Tyson, removing her, quote, "...from the company, the channel,
01:00and any association with Mr. Beast."
01:05While a great number of commenters have congratulated Mr. Beast on finally making a firm
01:10statement on the issue, some aren't pleased with the fact that he took a few days before
01:14sending such a huge update to his followers.
01:17Others have argued that this post raises far more questions than answers.
01:21One of the more common reactions in the replies to Mr. Beast's post is one of surprise, with
01:26several people asking why Mr. Beast is conducting his own private investigation.
01:31Some have accused the YouTuber of just trying to protect his brand by hiring his own investigators,
01:35while others are more concerned about what else might surface.
01:39According to his post, the YouTuber, quote, "...will allow the independent investigators
01:43the necessary time to conduct a comprehensive investigation and will take any further actions
01:48based on their findings," which has a number of commenters wondering what Mr. Beast might
01:52do in the event that more wrongdoing comes to light.
01:55Others are curious to see if this escalates to a full investigation involving the police.
02:00Another sticking point in Mr. Beast's statement is the part where he says he removed Tyson
02:05from his team.
02:06Several commenters have argued that this seems to contradict Tyson's statement from the previous
02:10day, in which she claims, "...we've mutually decided it's best I permanently step away
02:15from all things Mr. Beast and social media to focus on my family and mental health."
02:20Some replies are asking for clarity regarding whether Tyson was fired or simply stepped
02:25away from the channel after a difficult conversation.
02:28Not everyone was suspicious of Mr. Beast's motivations, however.
02:32Many of the replies and reposts following his statement were full of support and well-wishes
02:36for the YouTuber.
02:37Fellow content creator and businessman Faze Banks noted that this could not have been
02:42an easy post for Mr. Beast to make, particularly with his high profile.
02:46Banks wrote,
02:47"...people forget you're a real living, breathing human.
02:50Mr. Beast is larger than life and I understand why people hold you to the standard they do,
02:54but I hope you're doing okay."
02:56Other commenters expressed their hopes that Mr. Beast will soon be able to put this behind
03:00him and get back to making more philanthropic videos.
