Ava Kris Tyson has quit the YouTube MrBeast team following the recent predatorial allegations with a minor. “I would like to apologize for any of my past behavior or comments if it hurt or offended anyone.” (check the thread for details)

She announced she was stepping back from the MrBeast channel – which boasts 300million subscribers – and social media ‘to focus on my family and mental health.’

Tyson is alleged to have sent risque messages to a minor whom she first met when the person was 13 and she was 20.

The pair were allegedly introduced after the child won an online competition. At that time, Tyson was known to YouTube fans as ‘Chris’ because she had not yet transitioned her gender identity.

Tyson – who has a son with their ex-wife – is said to have spent years communicating with the fan on public online forums before meeting in person when the teen turned 16 years old.

In an X post today, Tyson wrote: ‘I would like to apologize for any of my past behavior or comments if it hurt or offended anyone. It was not my intent.’

‘Seeing recent events we’ve mutually decided it’s best I permanently step away from all things MrBeast and social media to focus on my family and mental health.’

The fan, who is now an adult, says they are not a victim and has defended Tyson but has admitted some of the messages were ‘inappropriate’ and ‘edgy’.
