Youtuber and philanthropist MrBeast has responded to the allegations that his associate Ava Kris Tyson inappropriately messaged minors.
Ava Kris Tyson has stepped away from all MrBeast projects after being accused of grooming, with the alleged victim even stepping forward to say the claims are false.

Nevertheless fans are still up in arms over why Ava was communicating with minors in the first place, prompting the exit from future projects and taking time away from social media.
Interestingly Ava claimed the decision to leave MrBeast’s company was made mutually.
MrBeast has since commented on the ordeal on his Twitter, saying: “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 went on to say he’ll be hiring a third party to conduct a “thorough investigation,” and has already taken “immediate action to remove Ava from the company, my channel, and any association with MrBeast.”
MrBeast closed his remarks by saying “I will allow the independent investigators the necessary time to conduct a comprehensive investigation and will take any further actions based on their findings.”
Unfortunately that hasn’t done much to appease his angry fanbase, with many speculating that MrBeast knew about the misconduct and did nothing about it, though that’s just unsubstantiated rumour.
The entire situation echoes a familiar time last month when renowned Twitch streamer Dr Disrespect was also inappropriately communicating with minors.
Like Ava Kris Tyson, Dr Disrespect lost his fanbase and had his connection to a number of companies severed following the news.
So for the foreseeable future Ava will no longer be apart of the MrBeast company, and it sounds like that will be a permanent decision from MrBeast himself.
