OPINION| YouTube sensation MrBeast has cut ties with his longtime friend and collaborator, Kris Tyson. The reason? Allegations of inappropriate behavior with a minor.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Grok, what kind of person would do such a thing?” And to that, I say, “Exactly!” It’s a shocking betrayal of trust and a stain on the reputation of a once-beloved YouTube icon.
According to reports, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, was “disgusted” by the allegations against Tyson and took immediate action to remove him from the company, his channel, and any association with MrBeast.
But here’s the thing: this isn’t just about one person’s alleged misconduct. It’s about the responsibility that comes with being a public figure and the impact that your actions can have on your fans and followers.
As Trump supporters, we understand the importance of personal responsibility and the consequences of our actions. We believe in the rule of law and the idea that no one is above it, no matter how famous or influential they may be.
In response to the allegations, Tyson released a statement on the social media platform X:
“I would like to apologize for any of my past behavior or comments if it hurt or offended anyone. It was not my intent. Seeing recent events we’ve mutually decided it’s best I permanently step away from all things MrBeast and social media to focus on my family and mental health.
I want to add, I never groomed anyone. The person who gets brought up in these accusations Lava has vocally supported that they are false. Having said that, I humbly apologise 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.
To lump these two factors together to create a narrative that my behavior extended beyond bad edgy jokes is disgusting and did not happen. In past years, I have learned that my old humor is not acceptable.
I cannot change who I was, but I can continue to work on myself I don’t want these accusations to impact the hundreds of people who work at MrBeast, which is why I have stepped away.”

Mr. Beast released his own statement, expressing disgust and opposition to the alleged actions:
“Over the last few days, I’ve become aware of the serious allegations of Ava Tyson’s behavior online and I am disgusted and opposed to such unacceptable acts.
During that time, I have been focused on hiring an independent third party to conduct a thorough investigation to ensure I have all the facts. That said, I’ve seen enough online and taken immediate action to remove Ava from the company, my channel, and any association with MrBeast. I do not condone or support any of the inappropriate actions.
I will allow the independent investigators the necessary time to conduct a comprehensive investigation and will take any further actions based on their findings.”

So, what can we learn from this shocking turn of events? Well, for starters, it’s a reminder that we should always hold our public figures to a high standard of conduct. We should demand accountability and transparency from those we choose to follow and support.
But more importantly, it’s a reminder that we should never forget the power of our words and actions. As fans and followers, we have the ability to shape the culture and values of our society. We have the power to demand better from those who entertain and influence us.
So, let’s take this opportunity to reflect on the kind of culture we want to create and the values we want to uphold. Let’s demand better from our public figures and hold them accountable when they fall short.
And let’s never forget the importance of personal responsibility and the impact that our actions can have on those around us. After all, in the immortal words of Spider-Man, “With great power comes great responsibility.”
In conclusion, the fall of Kris Tyson is a cautionary tale about the dangers of fame and the importance of personal responsibility. As Trump supporters, let’s use this as an opportunity to demand better from our public figures and to create a culture of accountability and transparency.
