MrBeast has been defended against "fraud" allegations after he was accused of "scamming" viewers in social media posts by a man claiming to be a former employee .
The YouTube star was also accused of creating "illegal lotteries" . Now, his current employee Chucky has slammed the accusations in a new post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter . In a lengthy post, he said: "I quickly want to debunk some of the info in this video since the guy who made it was on my team."
Chucky claims he fired the employee after less than a month. The purported ex-employee had accused MrBeast of not being honest with fans when he promises them the chance to take part in his videos if they subscribe.

"The random subscribers you see in challenges are actually never random They’re almost always local to MrBeast, and often times friends and family of MrBeast employees, or just the employees themselves," the indivudal, who goes by the username DogPack404, claimed.
In response, Chucky said: "This is a wild statement that can easily be proven wrong, there's probably hundreds or thousands of people who have no affiliation to friends / family of beast employees. Think the 456 people in squid game, or ages 1 - 100, etc. Jimmy doesn’t know more then like a dozen people lol."
The individual claiming to be a former MrBeast employee also alleged the money available in MrBeast's videos is real, but alleged the contestants are often actors, or friends and family of MrBeast. Chucky hit back: "He claims our 100 boys vs 100 girls video is scripted and the proof is a random text saying it is? That’s it? It was not scripted.
"Jimmy probably had countless people on set for that video and it would have been impossible to hide. This video was not scripted. I was on set for this and there was no bias for who won. He also implies the video is fake because we have some employees on each team.

"The employees in the video were there to fill in for people who tested positive for covid last minute right before filming. Thea (jimmy gf) mentioned this on a podcast over a year ago. If it wasn’t for Covid they would have not been in it.
"They had the same $ on the line as everyone else. Some random text of someone 'thinking' it was rigged doesnt mean its rigged lol." DogPack404 also accused MrBeast of hosting "illegal lotteries".
DogPack404 claimed that in one instance, MrBeast celebrated hitting 40million subscribers by supposedly giving away cash prizes to random fans who ordered a signed shirt. "During those five hours I counted 46 illegal lotteries," the individual alleged.
He claimed that instead of awarding fans the cash prize, MrBeast would instead simply increase the time limit. Chucky insisted they "do not fake giveaways".
He added: "I have been hands on with some of them and have personally been the person to connect winners with our accounting department to get paid. You also suggested we didn’t spend $1,000,000 on Samsung phones and I can assure you we did."
The Mirror has reached out to MrBeast for comment on the allegations, but has not yet received a response.
