MrBeast is known as YouTube’s “good guy.” He’s seemingly very friendly and popular with the kids; his brand is generosity. The most popular MrBeast videos are those where he’s giving away large amounts of money, expensive gifts, and incredible opportunities for his fans. Now, the famed YouTuber faces intense allegations about his treatment of contestants of his brand new game show set to release on Prime Video. Here’s what we know about the allegations.
Who MrBeast Is
Jimmy Donaldson is the man behind the ever-growing brand known as MrBeast. His YouTube channel has over three hundred million subscribers, making him one of the most popular YouTubers. On top of that, he also has a line of snacks and the popular MrBeast Burger. He rose to fame and popularity with his larger-than-life personality and unbelievable videos. He hosts giveaways and wacky competitions and gives away large sums of money regularly.
Overall, he’s the guy on YouTube that many find difficult to hate. However, recently, Donaldson has found himself in hot water with his new reality game show that is allegedly based on Netflix’s Squid Games. His goal was to get two thousand contestants who would compete in the survival games for a grand prize of five million dollars. MrBeast Games is still filming; however, contestants have come forward with shocking allegations.
They allege misconduct, dangerous conditions, lack of readily available medical assistance, and lack of food. These allegations come from constants that have been eliminated and those who are still competing. They’re all anonymous due to having signed NDAs.
Specific Allegations
Contestants began reaching out to popular YouTuber, Rosanna Pansino, who previously spoke out against Donaldson. Pansino had alleged that Donaldson doctored footage of a large-scale hide-and-seek game she participated in for a YouTube original. This was huge because it was the first time a large creator had negatively spoken out about MrBeast. Due to this, contestants felt comfortable reaching out to Pansino with their harrowing experiences that ranged from women being denied menstrual products to reports that people were denied access to their medication. There are also claims that some contestants sustained severe injuries and were left on stretchers. Pansino has been steadfast in covering these claims and harrowing stories from contestants.
It’s also alleged that Amazon has given the MrBeast team full control over the project, and Donaldson has used that control to go against the grain. According to reports, the production team of MrBeast Games wasn’t prepared for the high volume of contestants, claiming that Donaldson had changed the number of contestants from one thousand to two thousand.
Some contestants are afraid for their lives but don’t want to leave the games because of the money that’s on the line. Much like the actual Squid Games, the people who are involved need money and feel that the risk is worth it for the monetary gain, but that MrBeast is pushing things too far. More and more people are coming forward, and with each new story/allegation, it seems that Donaldson falls further from grace.
Conclusion
The MrBeast team claims they are investigating these allegations and trying to find solutions for the issues, but so far blame “severe weather and logistical challenges.” While they claim that they are doing their best to soothe concerns, Rosanna Pansino has a different thought. She said that Donaldson isn’t answering to anyone, not Amazon or the union, given that he’s hired non-union workers. Essentially, Pansino claims that the only one investigating MrBeast is Donaldson himself. As the MrBeast Games continues filming, they travel to Toronto, where the challenges are set to intensify, only further concerning people still competing.
