Despite MrBeast's assertion that he does not "condone any of the inappropriate actions" and Tyson's decision to step back from the channel, viewers remain dissatisfied. This discontent is evident in MrBeast's most recent video, where he challenges two individuals to survive 100 days in a nuclear bunker for a chance to win $500,000.
The video has been bombarded with millions of dislikes amid the grooming allegations. The post, which was published on August 4, already has over 1.8 million dislikes, according to data from YouTube Dislike Viewer.
YouTube itself ceased tracking dislikes on videos in 2021, meaning that YouTube Dislike Viewer can only provide an estimate of the number of dislikes.
Following the emergence of serious allegations against Tyson earlier this month, MrBeast posted on X addressing the situation. "Over the last few days, I've become aware of the serious allegations of Ava Tyson's behaviour online and I am disgusted and opposed to such unacceptable acts," he stated.
"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."
Tyson has been accused of sending inappropriate photos to a fan. One Snapshot conversation allegedly sent from Tyson to messaging editor showed a picture of her face with the text "Cumming for America" written on it, according to Rolling Stone.
Tyson was accused by user Prism42 on TikTok of "grooming" and sending the messages to Lava when he was 13 and she was 20 years old. The allegations have since been refuted by the alleged victim.
Tyson released a statement in light of the grooming allegations. "I would like to apologize for any of my past behavior or comments if it hurt or offended anyone. It was not my intent," she said on X.
She added: "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."
Following the widespread sharing of a video that accused Ava of grooming Lava, the person at the centre of the allegations directly addressed the claims on social media.
X Lava took to their account to state: "These videos are massive lies and twisting the truth. Ava never did anything wrong and just made a few edgy jokes," and further said: "Can you do me a favor and comment on these videos and tell them to stop spreading lies. This situation takes away from children who are actively being exploited every day online. I am not a victim of anything being claimed in these videos or at all."
