00:00If you thought that Mr. Beast's numerous recent scandals had stopped adding up, then your
00:05math is way off, and this latest one might be the most disturbing yet.
00:10YouTuber Rosanna Pansino made a bombshell announcement on October 27th.
00:15Pansino says that she reported Mr. Beast to the FBI, based on the things she saw in leaked
00:20Telegram messages from an internal channel of the content creator's company.
00:24In a YouTube video titled,
00:26"'Mr. Beast Knew All Along' Over 1,000 Leaked Messages," Pansino went through some of the
00:31findings with Dogpack 404, a former Mr. Beast employee who's previously accused him of faking
00:38videos and mistreating employees.
00:40The chat logs contain messages ranging from 2020 to 2021, and some of them are pretty
00:46disturbing.
00:47The chats are full of inappropriate jokes and edgy humor that definitely feel out of
00:51place on a work channel, but Pansino and Dogpack were particularly concerned by some
00:56of the sexually-themed messages they saw.
00:59These included a number of jokes about sexual predators.
01:02It's impossible to say what reaction the FBI will have to Pansino's reports, if any, but
01:07Pansino and Dogpack's investigation has prompted quite a reaction from viewers.
01:12Pansino and Dogpack began their examination of the Telegram messages by establishing that
01:17Mr. Beast himself was posting under the name John Smith.
01:21There is quite a bit of evidence to support that theory, including references from other
01:25members in the chat, as well as John Smith talking about driving Mr. Beast's car and
01:30jokingly saying,
01:31"...my feet are a 4.8 out of 5," or sharing a link to a WikiFeed page featuring Mr. Beast.
01:37From there, Pansino and Dogpack shift to showing some of the alarming messages in the chat
01:42log.
01:43Ava Chris Tyson seems to make some concerning jokes, including claiming to be attracted
01:47to underage fictional characters like Violet from The Incredibles.
01:51She also shared multiple suggestive memes about fictional children from shows and movies.
01:57Other people in the chat also added onto the jokes in various ways.
02:00At one point, John Smith shared a link to an anime called Higihiro, a somewhat controversial
02:06series which follows a 26-year-old man who takes in a teen runaway, and jokes about how
02:11much Tyson would enjoy the show.
02:13"...and this anime is based on even more explicit novels that go into the details of this romantic
02:19relationship."
02:20Tyson also shared multiple not-safe-for-work stories from 4chan, which we will not be repeating
02:26here.
02:27Mr. Beast hasn't publicly commented on the video that Pansino released with Dogpack,
02:31nor the claim that these chat logs have been forwarded to the FBI.
02:34There has been no acknowledgment from the YouTuber's camp regarding the authenticity
02:38of these messages.
02:40In fact, Mr. Beast has been more or less quiet about all of the controversies surrounding
02:44his business since the disturbing allegations against Ava Chris Tyson initially broke in
02:50July 2024.
02:51At that time, Mr. Beast revealed that he'd removed Tyson from the company and hired investigators
02:57to look into the accusations made against her.
02:59He said,
03:00"...I will allow the independent investigators the necessary time to conduct a comprehensive
03:05investigation and will take any further actions based on their findings."
03:09As more and more people weigh in on Pansino and Dogpack's video, it's becoming clear how
03:14much of a divide there is among Mr. Beast's fans.
03:17Some are arguing that while the jokes and messages are inappropriate, there's a fear
03:21that some of the messages may seem worse out of context.
03:24Others are drawing a hard line and noting that Mr. Beast's primary audience is made
03:28up of younger kids, and that his company should be held to a higher standard.
03:31We'll just have to wait and see what the actual fallout from all of this turns out to be.
03:37If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.
