Co-Host Of YouTube Phenomenon Mr. Beast LEAVES CHANNEL Amid Grooming Allegations

Daily Report July 25,2024

Ava Kris Tyson, a co-host for Mr. Beast, made an announcement that she will be leaving the channel. The 28-year-old was accused of messaging inappropriate thoughts to a now-13-years old when she was only in her 20s.

In a Tuesday statement on social media, Tyson announced her departure from the YouTube channel and disputed all accusations.

“I would like to apologize for any of my past behavior or comments if it hurt or offended anyone,” Tyson began her statement. “It was not my intent.”

“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,” she added.

In later tweets, Tyson said, “I want to add, I never groomed anyone. The person who gets brought up in these accusations,” who uses the handle @LavaGS on X and goes by Lava, “has vocally supported that they are false.”

Lava, now 20, wrote, “Ava never did anything wrong and just made a few edgy jokes. I was never exploited or taken advantage of.”

Tyson then made it clear that her past comments were inappropriate, saying “I humbly apologize to anyone I have hurt with my unacceptable social media posts, past actions, and to those who may feel betrayed by how I used to act online.”

“To lump these two factors together to create a narrative that my behavior extended beyond bad edgy jokes is disgusting and did not happen,” she went on. “In past years, I have learned that my old humor is not acceptable. I cannot change who I was, but I can continue to work on myself.”

Tyson Jones has been on MrBeast’s YouTube channel since 2012. The channel now has more than 300 million subscribers.

Last year Tyson publicly shared her identity as a transgender woman and began a gender-affirming hormone replacement therapy which was followed by an onslaught of transphobic comments on her social media pages.

Tyson shares her son with ex-wife Katie. The couple officially parted ways in 2022.
