MrBeast’s Transgender Costar Quits Massively Popular Children’s YouTube Channel After Grooming Accusations

Ava Kris Tyson — a biological male born Chris Tyson before transitioning — was a costar of the MrBeast YouTube channel, which is massively popular with children. However, the 28-year-old transgender YouTube star permanently quit after grooming allegations. Tyson has denied the accusations.

Last month, allegations surfaced in a YouTube video and accused Tyson of grooming a 13-year-old. At the time of the alleged grooming, Tyson was age 20.

The alleged victim — who is now an adult — has recently come out to deny the grooming allegations against Tyson.

“These videos are massive lies and twisting the truth,” the alleged victim said. “Ava never did anything wrong and just made a few edgy jokes. I was never exploited or taken advantage of.”

On Tuesday, Tyson also denied the accusations in a post on the X social media platform:

“I would like to apologize for any of my past behavior or comments if it hurt or offended anyone. 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. To lump these two factors together to create a narrative that my behavior extended beyond bad edgy jokes is disgusting and did not happen. 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. I don’t want these accusations to impact the hundreds of people who work at MrBeast, which is why I have stepped away.”
