Popular YouTuber MrBeast, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, recently apologized after a 2017 clip resurfaced, showing him making racist and homophobic comments.
This controversy follows the firing of his long-time friend Ava Tyson over allegations of inappropriate conversations with a minor.
MrBeast stated that he had an independent investigation conducted and promptly removed Tyson from all associations with his brand.
In addition to these issues, MrBeast's latest game show, 'Beast Games,' has come under scrutiny after fellow YouTuber Rosanna Pansino began collecting alleged testimonials from contestants.
The latest controversy centers around Pansino sharing an old clip where Donaldson made offensive remarks, prompting a spokesperson for MrBeast to acknowledge his past mistakes and emphasize his commitment to positive impact and increased responsibility.
While some fans dismiss the comments as a product of the online culture at the time, others are troubled by the revelations.
