MrBeast’s internal investigation following the murder of a former employee charged with maintenance An underage has resulted and the YouTube star is sharing the results.

On Friday, 26-year-old MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, released findings sent to him by Alex Spiro of law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP, the outside attorney Donaldson hired to investigate allegations of sexual harassment that occurred at his company.

“The 3-month investigation into the allegations regarding my company has been concluded. Law firm/investigators reviewed millions of documents/messages and conducted 39 interviews.” MrBeast wrote on Xformerly Twitter. “I have been asked to refrain from making public statements so that a thorough and impartial investigation can be carried out. Below are their results.

In the Nov. 1 letter shared by MrBeast, Spiro addressed not only the allegations that emerged after MrBeast’s former co-host Ava Tyson, 28, was charged. sending inappropriate messages When she was 20, she was attacked by a then-13-year-old boy, but also by one of Donaldson’s former employees, who became a YouTube sensation. They knowingly recruited registered sex offenders.

The law firm’s investigation, which began in late July and cost “millions” of dollars, found no evidence that either claim had merit, sources said.

“Allegations of sexual abuse between company employees and minors (e.g. pedophilia, grooming, child pornography, etc.) are unfounded,” Spiro said in his letter. “The allegations have been soundly denied, including by the alleged victims.”

Spiro also wrote: “Allegations that the company knowingly employed individuals with tendencies or history of illegal or questionable legal behavior are similarly unfounded.”

The scope of the internal investigation extended beyond the public allegations made against MrBeast. A source told The Post that Donaldson and newly appointed CEO Jeffrey Housenbold were eager to investigate any possible wrongdoing at the company, so they expanded the investigation.

As a result, other examples of less serious abuses were discovered. “Several isolated cases of workplace harassment and misconduct were identified during the investigation,” Spiro said. “The company was notified of such conduct and took prompt and appropriate action to address the incidents, including, where necessary, disciplining or releasing those involved.”

A source told The Post that those released include individuals from the executive level to middle management and individual contributors. “Individuals were released regardless of position, tenure or seniority,” the insider said.

Workplace harassment and abuse uncovered by the investigation included inappropriate and sexual jokes made in the workplace, an employee repeatedly asking a colleague out despite being repeatedly rejected, and employees dating without notifying higher-ups.

One source described some of the abuse as “boys’ locker room behaviour” that was “inappropriate” and “cannot be tolerated”. The source emphasized that the findings did not include any abuse “that would border on things like assault or rape.”

In Spiro’s letter, the attorney noted that MrBeast’s company “has grown extremely quickly from a YouTube startup with a group of talented young individuals to a much larger organization” and that “the policies and practices required of a YouTuber are not unusual.” A mature company will fall short of commercial success.”

Spiro also wrote: “It is clear that the company is committed to resolving historical issues and creating a mature culture where problematic behavior is not tolerated as it enters this new phase.”

According to the investigation’s final report, MrBeast’s company “has already implemented or is in the process of implementing” changes as a result of the findings.

These changes include “sending a clear message about tone at the top,” bringing in a new CEO, Chief People Officer, General Counsel, and soon-to-be-hired CFO, introducing “mandatory corporate training for all employees,” “improving.” new policies are codified in an employee handbook,” an anonymous hotline was established for employees to report alleged misconduct within the company, “anyone who violated company policy, regardless of their position or level, was terminated quickly,” and “additional employees were identified for training and executive coaching.” “professionalism and compliance with company policy.”

At the outset of the investigation, Spiro asked MrBeast’s former employee, Dawson French, who referenced DogPack404 on YouTube, to “stop making public allegations against the company as he is the subject of an ongoing investigation.”

French accused MrBeast of hosting “illegal lotteries” for fake participation online. He also posted a video on YouTube in which he interviewed another former MrBeast employee who made the claim that the mogul knowingly hired a registered sex offender (a claim the investigation denied).

Spiro and his colleagues also asked employees not to comment publicly on any of the allegations made against MrBeast and the company “to ensure that the investigation provides accurate information and that witnesses are not tainted.”

The man allegedly at the center of the grooming allegations against Tyson, known online as Lava, was among those interviewed and denied the grooming allegations, a source told The Post. Lava has also publicly stated that they do not believe they are well-groomed.

The allegations against Tyson were initially made by a YouTuber using a third party, Prism42.

“I apologize for my past behavior or comments if they hurt or offended anyone.” tyson said in a statement Published July 23. “That wasn’t my intention.”

“Seeing recent events, we mutually decided it was best for me to step away from MrBeast and social media permanently to focus on my family and mental health.”

However, Tyson denied the grooming allegations made against him. “I would like to add that I have never groomed anyone. “The person who came forward with these accusations has vocally supported that they are unfounded,” he said, referring to Lava.

Donaldson announced the internal investigation the day after Tyson shared his response.

“Over the last several days, I have become aware of serious allegations regarding Ava Tyson’s behavior online, and I am disgusted and opposed by such unacceptable actions,” he said. wrote to x. “During this time, I am focused on retaining an independent third party to conduct a thorough investigation to ensure I have all the facts.

“However, I have seen enough online that I have taken immediate action to remove Ava from the company, my channel, and any involvement with MrBeast,” he added. “I do not condone or support any of the inappropriate actions.

“I will give independent investigators the necessary time to conduct a thorough investigation and take appropriate action based on their findings.”

Lava responded to MrBeast’s post: write to x“I commend @MrBeast for taking this situation seriously and taking appropriate action, such as hiring a 3rd party investigator while also cutting ties with Ava. While the allegations involving my name are untrue, I still think there are many other allegations that deserve to be thoroughly investigated .”

Two days later, Lava issued an updated statement after reviewing messages from the Discord server at the center of the allegations against Tyson.

“I would like to make a statement on ‘Discord’ based on recent screenshots and messages. This was 5 or 6 years ago and I thought I remembered the situation well, but I was wrong. After reading the chat logs, I found them to be inappropriate and wrong.” Lava wrote to x.

“I spoke from memory of the incident and I still don’t remember those conversations, but they definitely happened. “These conversations should not have happened with people my age, I strongly condemn them.”

Lava continued: “I still believe I am not a victim of grooming, but these conversations should not have happened with me and the other minors in this dispute. “I was a minor in this situation and I wasn’t an adult influencer who shouldn’t have allowed this to happen, so I didn’t see it as wrong.”

Lava stated that this statement only applies to past comments made on the Discord server. “I still stand by this,” they said in a follow-up post, quoting their initial response to MrBeast revealing the internal investigation.
