MrBeast co-host Ava Kris Tyson quits amid claims of grooming a minor

YouTube streamer Ava Kris Tyson has issued an apology following accusations of grooming a minor and has decided to leave Mr. Beast’s channel.

“I would like to apologize for any past behavior or comments that may have caused harm or offense,” Tyson stated in a recent post. “It was never my intention. Given recent events, we have mutually agreed that it is best for me to step away permanently from all affiliations with MrBeast and social media to prioritize my family and mental well-being.”

Additionally, Kris Tyson vehemently denied the allegations of grooming a fan who was underage at the time.

A video surfaced on June 13 detailing the accusations against Tyson, showing interactions between Tyson, then 20, and a 13-year-old fan over several years.

An alleged piece of evidence presented by the accuser includes a Snapshot message from Tyson to a fan named “Cumming for America”.

Social media was flooded with condemnation towards Tyson, who is transgender, with accusations of sexually abusing minors.

The individual involved with Kris Tyson has refuted any claims of a sexual relationship with the former streamer.

“I stand by all my previous statements,” the individual stated. “Nothing inappropriate occurred between me and Kris, and falsehoods are being spread about me. Ava never acted inappropriately and only made some edgy jokes.”

“I was never exploited or manipulated. I ask for support in stopping the spread of lies in these videos. This situation detracts from real cases of online exploitation of children. I am not a victim of the allegations made in these videos or otherwise.”

As of now, Mr. Beast has not commented on the situation.
