Jimmy‘MrBeast’Donaldson is themost-subscribed creator on YouTube— but his status as an internet superstar is beginning to crumble as more and more allegations are hurled his way.
DogPack has uploaded two videos about MrBeast, both of which have garnered a combined 25 million views within a month’s time. In his videos, DogPackaccuses MrBeast of faking his contentand knowinglyhiring a registered sex offenderwho appeared in his past videos.
It was later confirmed that this offender was, indeed, part of MrBeast’s crew, as told by their own brother, Jake the Viking, in apublic post on social media.
DogPack’s claims have received attention due to his claimed status as one of MrBeast’s former employees, but now, Donaldson is hitting back.
As reported by the Daily Mailon August 27, MrBeast has hired celebrity lawyer Alex Spiro, known for representing famous clients like Alec Baldwin, Megan Thee Stallion, and evenElon Musk.
“It should be apparent from this letter that MrBeast takes your unlawful content seriously and is committed to getting to the bottom of each and every violation of your agreements during your brief trial period with MrBeast and subsequent to your departure,” the document reads.

The C&D also claims that French “pleaded for [his] job back” with the company after his trial period ended, and violated the terms of the NDA he signed as part of his employment with the YouTube star.
French is sticking to his proverbial guns, saying in a statement to the Daily Mail: “MrBeast has knowingly kept rapists and pedophiles on payroll (allegedly for legal reasons, although I think some of them were convicted).”
Thus far, MrBeast has yet to issue a public statement regarding the accusations against him, but has distanced himself from Ava Kris Tyson, saying he’s“disgusted” by her past actions.
