MrBeast reveals results of investigation following accusations Ava Kris Tyson groomed a minor

MrBeast has shared the results of an internal investigation he commissioned after former employee Ava Kris Tyson was accused of grooming a minor.

Earlier this year, Tyson was accused of sending inappropriate messages to a 13-year-old when she was 20. At the time, Tyson denied the grooming allegations made against her and said that it was 'mutually decided it's best I permanently step away from all things MrBeast and social media to focus on my family and mental health.'

Following the allegations, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, announced that he would no longer be working with Tyson and that he had hired a law firm, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, to conduct an internal investigation into misconduct allegations regarding his company, MrBeast LLC.

Following a three-month investigation, Donaldson announced on his Twitter account earlier today that the investigation has concluded and shared the findings sent to him by Alex Spiro of law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan.

"A three-month investigation into allegations regarding my company has concluded. The lawfirm/investigators reviewed millions of documents/messages and conducted 39 interviews,” MrBeast wrote on Twitter. "I was asked to refrain from making public statements to enable a detailed and unbiased investigation. Below are their conclusions."

Along with conducting 39 interviews with current and former employees, the investigation also reviewed 4.5 million documents collected from messages and emails.

Per Spiro, the investigation found that 'allegations of sexual misconduct (e.g., pedophilia, grooming, child pornography, etc.) between Company employees and minors are without basis'.

"The allegations were soundly rejected, including by alleged victims," he continued.

Moreover, Spiro also noted that 'allegations of the Company knowingly employing individuals with proclivities or histories towards illegal or questionable legal conduct are similarly without basis', presumably referencing a claim a former MrBeast employee made earlier this year that the YouTube star knowingly hired registered sex offenders.

However, Spiro did note that the investigation found 'several isolated instances of workplace harassment and misconduct'.

He added, "The Company was informed of such conduct and took swift and appropriate actions to address the incidents, including, where necessary, disciplining or letting go of implicated individuals."

Spiro's letter concluded with recommended measures to put in place to 'ensure a safe and professional corporate culture' including hiring new top leaders, implementing mandatory corporate training, establishing an anonymous hotline or reporting tool for employees to voice their concerns, and 'swiftly terminating individuals' who violate company policy.
