MrBeast is YouTube's biggest star - now he faces 54-page lawsuit


It’s been another busy week for Jimmy Donaldson, in what is becoming a bit of a theme for the world’s biggest YouTuber.

In one section where almost all of the claims are redacted from public view, it says the defendants "created, permitted to exist, and fostered a culture and pattern and practice of sexual harassment including in the form of a hostile work environment". Back in August, the New York Times spoke to more than a dozen of the (yet unreleased) show's participants, and reported there were "several hospitalisations" on the set, with one person telling the paper they had gone over 20 hours without being fed. The day before the lawsuit emerged on Wednesday, he revealed a team-up with fellow famous faces KSI and Logan Paul - a new food line designed to challenge Lunchables.
