MrBeast Accused of Hiring Sex Offender

MrBeast, the popular YouTuber known as Jimmy Donaldson, faces serious allegations from former employees claiming he knowingly hired a registered sex offender, referred to internally as 'Delaware'. This revelation follows recent controversies surrounding MrBeast, including accusations of racism and inappropriate behavior after the departure of his co-host Ava Kris Tyson amid allegations of grooming. Former employee Jake Weddle accused MrBeast of covering up the sex offender's identity by having him wear masks during videos. Another former employee, Jake Franklin, confirmed Delaware's identity as his brother-in-law, stating that MrBeast was aware of his past, which involved a plea deal for charges related to minors. In response to these allegations, MrBeast has initiated changes within his organization, including hiring a firm to investigate the workplace culture and implementing mandatory training on various issues. Despite the ongoing investigation, MrBeast remains committed to improving internal practices and fostering a safer environment for his team.
