MrBeast shares report of the independent investigation, which suggests grooming allegations against Ava Kris Tyson are incorrect.
Those who have been in the loop regarding the controversy involving former Jimmy “MrBeast” employee Ava Kris Tyson (formerly Chris Tyson) will know the serious allegations made against her back in July 2024. These allegations included instances of grooming and also promoting controversial artworks depicting CP. Following these allegations, both Jimmy and Tyson announced that they would be separating on a professional level. Additionally, Jimmy said that he had hired an independent investigation to look into the controversy:
“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.”

Today (November 2, 2024), Jimmy has finally given an update regarding the findings of this independent investigation. Jimmy shared a two-page-long document, summarizing the report. According to it, the allegations against Ava Kris Tyson were labeled “without any basis.” The document read:
“Allegations of sexual misconduct (e.g., p*dophilia, grooming, child p*rnography, etc.) between Company employees and minors are without basis. The allegations were soundly rejected, including by alleged victims.”

The alleged victim, LavaGS, also commented on the findings regarding Ava Kris Tyson, reiterating that he was not groomed. He added:
“I was not groomed. These were false allegations made up by other people with my name thrown in them. This investigation was conducted by real investigators and not internet detectives. They reviewed everything.”
Now that the investigation is over and MrBeast has addressed it, I want to clarify a few important points that I’ve remained quiet on as the investigation was ongoing:

What Did MrBeast Say About Allegations Against Hiring Individuals With Criminal Records?
In addition to the allegations against Ava Kris Tyson, MrBeast also faced criticism for reportedly hiring individuals with criminal records or serious accusations. For example, DogPack404 and Jake Weddle (two former employees) released a video claiming that Jimmy had hired someone named “Delaware,” who is allegedly a registered sex offender. According to Weddle:
“From what I hear…he’s (Delaware) on the registry for doing some not-great stuff to some underage people. And they knew that. He’s working at the channel that has underage people on and around, and is just targeted to underage people.”
The recently shared document by Jimmy also addressed this issue. According to the investigation’s findings, these allegations are unfounded, stating that the company has never knowingly hired anyone with a criminal record. The report read:
“Allegations of the Company knowingly employing individuals with proclivities or histories towards illegal or questionable legal conduct are similarly without basis. Here, too, the allegations were uniformly rejected.”
While the report dismissed most major and controversial allegations, it did acknowledge finding several isolated incidents of workplace misconduct. Since then, the company has taken action to address these issues. The report said:
“Several isolated instances of workplace harassment and misconduct were identified during the investigation. The Company was informed of such conduct and took swift and appropriate actions to address the incidents, including, where necessary, disciplining or letting go of implicated individuals.”
