Ava Kris Tyson Leaves MrBeast After Grooming Allegations
Tyson’s announcement was met with several troll comments, but there were still some people who empathized with her and supported her decision to step away from the company. Many online users, includingYouTube streamer Valkyrae, also called out people who were being transphobic, emphasizing that there’s a way to hold Tyson accountable without resorting to hate speech. Meanwhile, MrBeast has yet to release a statement regarding the matter.
The grooming allegations against Tyson have divided the internet as many people accused many content creators of not allegedly calling her out but were quick to condemnDr. Disrespect after admitting that he sent explicit messages to a minor. However, these claims were proven to be untrue because creators like Ludwig and Charles White (also known as penquinz0 or MoistCr1TiKaL) talked about the controversy in videos. Pokimane also tweeted that inappropriate behavior towards minors is unacceptable but emphasized that this shouldn’t be used to attack the trans community.
