It seems MrBeast has a guilty conscience, as the YouTuber has apologised for his use of “inappropriate” language.
Considering what’s been happening with his brand, chiefly the allegations brought against Ava Kris Tyson, apologising for past transgressions isn’t too surprising.
Since the allegations against Tyson came out, criticism of the famous streamer has also increased.
A Discord leak that appeared online not only strengthened the Tyson allegations, but it also highlighted MrBeast’s complicit behaviour.

Even though the extent to which he was involved is still unknown, the Discord messages shared – roughly 500,000 of them – further damaged the influencer’s standing with his community.
With employees hitting out to further compound the claims made, apologising for questionable choices seems the least MrBeast could do.
The statement released on 31 July reads, “When Jimmy was a teenager he acted like many kids and used inappropriate language while trying to be funny.
“Over the years he has repeatedly apologised and has learned that increasing influence comes with increased responsibility to be more aware and more sensitive to the power of language.”
It continues, “After making some bad jokes and other mistakes when he was younger, as an adult he has focused on engaging with the MrBeast community to work together on making a positive impact around the world.”
Some of the attention has been momentarily taken away from the YouTuber thanks to the return of Dr Disrespect.
Following his fall from grace, which was just as unpleasant as this new saga is proving to be, this is the first major update from the disgraced streamer.
The backlash for both men continues, understandably so.
It remains to be seen whether the latest statement from MrBeast will appease fans in any way; our guess is that it won’t.
We’ll bring you further updates on the situation as and when they happen.
