Recent developments have stirred controversy within the YouTube community, as former employees of MrBeast, one of the platform’s biggest creators, have come forward with allegations that hint at more significant issues within his company. These claims, made by multiple ex-employees, suggest that the recent accusations are just the beginning of a larger story yet to be fully uncovered.
Jake Weddle, a former MrBeast employee, has been vocal about his experiences working for the company. In a recent video titled “Jake the Viking vs Jake the Weddle,” Weddle responded to Jake the Viking’s statements, which included shocking revelations that MrBeast knowingly employed a registered sex offender. Weddle took this opportunity to issue a stark warning, indicating that the cease-and-desist orders sent by MrBeast’s legal team might only be the beginning of a legal battle.
“Here’s the thing about a cease and desist: once you send one, the next step is court. Or, at least, it’s supposed to be when you’re in the legal right. But Dogpack received not one, but two cease and desists. Huh… two warning shots? That’s interesting,” Weddle commented in his video.
Weddle hinted that he has more information to share but refrained from revealing it immediately. “Now, me personally, I would love to get a lot of stuff on the record, I’d love to go through a discovery process. But I’m not gonna send you guys a cease and desist, I have no money and no power. Just to let you guys know, this is a warning shot. And I’m not gonna send two.”
While Weddle expressed a desire to return to creating lighthearted and positive content, he made it clear that if further untruths were spread about him, he might be forced to disclose more damning information about his time with MrBeast.
Ty Ore, another former employee, has also stepped forward with allegations, claiming that his idea for the popular “World’s Deadliest Obstacle Course!” video was stolen during a trial period at the company. Accord ing to Ty, he was dismissed after only a few days, with the company stating he wasn’t “the right fit.” Despite this, Ty alleges that the idea he presented during this brief stint was used without credit or compensation.
“This man, this company, the employees not only took the time to exploit me and have me work for them under the false pretense of a job that wasn’t, you know, ‘available at the time,’ yet they had many people go in and out, you’re trying to tell me you didn’t have any positions at all, yet you had all those people? Not only did you do that, but you used my idea?” Ty questioned in his video.
Ty provided what he claims are on-set photos showing whiteboards and set designs that were part of his idea, and he plans to release a follow-up video to elaborate on his experience further.
Meanwhile, Dogpack, another former employee, is set to release a third video addressing sexual harassment allegations within the company. This follows Ludwig’s decision to distance himself from MrBeast and his upcoming Ludwig Streamer Games.
As of now, MrBeast has not publicly responded to these growing allegations, though it has been confirmed that a third party is currently investigating the internal affairs of his company. The situation continues to develop, and many are watching closely to see what will unfold next in this ongoing saga.
