Jimmy Donaldson, the individual behind the MrBeast brand, announced on Wednesday evening that he is completely ending all ties with Ava Kris Tyson, a transgender figure associated with the channel who has recently faced grave accusations. The MrBeast channel boasts over 306 million subscribers. <\/p>\n<p>In a Twitter post, Donaldson expressed his disgust and disapproval of Tyson&#8217;s alleged online behavior, stating, &#8220;Over the last few days, I\u2019ve become aware of the serious allegations regarding Ava Tyson\u2019s actions online, and I find them unacceptable.&#8221; He added that he had been working on hiring an independent third party to conduct a comprehensive investigation to gather all the facts. However, he felt he had seen enough online to take immediate action to remove Tyson from the company, his channel, and any affiliation with MrBeast, emphasizing that he does not condone or support any inappropriate behavior.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy initially gained traction in June when a YouTube video analyzed interactions between a 13-year-old and a then-20-year-old Tyson.
