A MrBeast employee hit back at a former worker’s claims that many of the YouTuber’s videos were staged and that the channel engaged in fake giveaways.
Referring to a video released on July 24 by a former worker who made serious claims about the authenticity of MrBeast’s content, a current employee of the channel, Chucky, took to X/Twitter to dispute the accusations.
In alengthy post, Chucky said: “I quickly want to debunk some of the info in this video since the guy who made it was on my team.”
I quickly want to debunk some of the info in this video since the guy who made it was on my team. It was my decision to fire him for erratic behavior, he worked at the company for less than a month and wasn’t an employee for most of the videos he mentions to have knowledge on.…pic.twitter.com/Xz0DMgated
Chiefly, Chucky blasted the claim that only friends or family ever featured in videos. “This is a wild statement that can easily be proven wrong. There are probably hundreds or thousands who have no affiliation to friends/family of Beast employees. Jimmy doesn’t know more than like a dozen people,” he said.

“We do not fake giveaways, I have been hands-on with some of them and have personally been the person to connect winners with our accounting department to get paid,” the post continued.
Chucky cited “erratic behavior” as the cause of quick termination, but didn’t provide any specifics.
