MrBeast YouTube co-host Ava Kris Tyson is quitting the popular channel after allegations surfaced of grooming a minor. Tyson was recently accused of sending inappropriate messages to a then-13-year-old when she was 20-years-old. “I would like to apologize for any of my past behavior or comments if it hurt or offended anyone,” Tyson said in a social media statement. “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,” she added.
Later, Tyson said, “I want to add, I never groomed anyone. The person who gets brought up in these accusations, has vocally supported that they are false.” The accuser has been identified by the handle @LavaGS on X and goes by Lava.
Lava, now age 20, wrote, “Ava never did anything wrong and just made a few edgy jokes. I was never exploited or taken advantage of.” Tyson called some of the posts off-color. “I humbly apologize to anyone I have hurt with my unacceptable social media posts, past actions, and to those who may feel betrayed by how I used to act online.
