MrBeast is called the internet's nicest man - now he faces 54-page lawsuit
BBC ^ | Sep 22 | Tom Gerken

Half a billion fans, a multi-million dollar personal fortune and a global business empire.

It would take a lot to dethrone YouTube's biggest influencer Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast.

But a 54-page court document could be his toughest test yet.

Five female contestants on upcoming Prime Video show Beast Games are launching legal action against his production company MrB2024 and Amazon in Los Angeles.

Billed as the largest ever reality competition series, 1,000 contestants are set to compete for a $5m (£3.7m) prize when the show airs - or if it airs. The lawsuit has plunged the show into crisis.

Among many redacted pages, the legal document includes allegations that they "particularly and collectively suffered" in an environment that "systematically fostered a culture of misogyny and sexism".

It cuts to the core of MrBeast's image as one of the nicest guys on the internet.

I flicked through the document, which includes suggestions that participants were "underfed and overtired". Meals were provided "sporadically and sparsely" which "endangered the health and welfare" of the contestants, it is claimed.

A sure sign that Mr. Beast is a closet Trump supporter.

“You mean they’re going after him for stupid reasons Like Lawfare?”

I would say it’s likely. He was recently on the Joe Rogan show and that means he likely leans right.

Does anyone know why he decided to name himself Mr. BEAST?

I have no idea if the complaint states a cause of action or not, but neither its length or the fact that someone slaps a completely arbitration. Dollar figure on it have any significance whatsoever

Seems pretty stupid. The catering wasn’t adequate so you sue? Oh yeah, sexism… did they only feed the male contestants?

They’re just angry they didn’t get their hooks into him or win the contest.

Mr. Beast is protecting a tranny pedophile. Is that something we should support just because he appeared on Rogan’s show?

The guy is doing a satire on Idubbs Content Cop character because Idubbs is now cucked by his OnlyFans girlfriend and doesn’t do it anymore.

I shudder to think of the lows one would have to delve to be called “Internets nicest man”.

With an LA jury they’ll probably win.

not likely, mr.beast is a big trans-supporter (i mean it could be fake because it is good for his image, but)
