MrBeast says game show allegations 'blown out of proportion'


Beast Games is set to stream next month amid allegations contestants were mistreated on set.

The contestants are suing the companies involved in the show, including Amazon and MrB2024, which lawyers say is "believed to be owned in whole or part, directly or indirectly" by MrBeast. As well as hosting the challenges, MrBeast is also an executive producer on the series which Amazon says will resemble his YouTube videos, "fueled by time-sensitive emotional decisions, pyrotechnics, and of course, big-rewards". However the investigation did identify some "isolated instances of workplace harassment and misconduct" but that MrBeast's company took "swift and appropriate actions" when made aware.
