Law firm finds grooming claims against MrBeast co-host baseless


The YouTuber hired the firm to look into claims that a co-host had sent inappropriate messages to a minor.

MrBeast, 26, real name Jimmy Donaldson, hosts the largest channel on YouTube, with 325m subscribers, and is known for making videos of stunts, challenges and acts of philanthropy. The letter said the firm had conducted 39 interviews with current and former employees of MrBeast's company and reviewed over 4.5m documents collected from mobile phones, e-mails, and a variety of messaging platforms. Responding to the initial allegations in July, Tyson apologised for her "unacceptable social media posts, past actions, and to those who may feel betrayed by how I used to act online", but added: "I never groomed anyone".
