Ava Kris Tyson, the former co-host of MrBeast, the most famous YouTuber, is accused of "grooming" a teenager. It is alleged that Tyson sent inappropriate messages to a minor when she was 20. MrBeast, Jimmy Donaldson, said he was "disgusted" when he came across the accusations and doesn't support any such misbehaviour. He decided to fire Tyson from his show as well. However, Tyson has clarified that she hasn't done anything as the accusations made against her suggest. Let's know more about Ava Kris Tyson
Ava Kris Tyson is the key figure of Donaldson's MrBeast, functioning since 2012. She has played a crucial role with her jokes and pranks to help make MrBeast the most subscribed YouTube Channel with 300 million subscriptions.
Who is Ava Kris Tyson?
Tyson had recently opened up that she is a transgender woman undergoing gender-affirming therapy and changed her pronouns to she/her. Earlier, in March 2023, she revealed that she and her wife had been living separately for a year. She has decided to undergo hormone replacement therapy.
As per the current allegations, Tyson had sent inappropriate messages to her fan of 13-year-old when she was 20 years old. The fan, Lava, who is now 20-year-old has denied any such claim. In fact, Tyson herself refused to have indulged in any such allegations.
Tyson's clarifications regarding the allegations
She said I have "never groomed anyone". She further added, "To create a narrative that my behaviour extended beyond bad edgy jokes is disgusting and did not happen".
Tyson also said, "In past years, I have learned that my old humour is not acceptable. I cannot change who I was, but I can continue to work on myself."
The fan also denied any such exploitation
The fan who allegedly received inappropriate messages too took to X and explained that no such thing had happened. He wrote, "Ava never did anything wrong and just made a few edgy jokes. I was never exploited or taken advantage of."
Despite both the fan and Tyson trying to oppose the allegations, the intensity is only increasing. Tyson is receiving a lot of hate online. The hate is not only based on unverified accusations but also transphobia.
Tyson has allegedly quit and sought an apology.
