In a recent social media post on October 29, 2024, YouTuber Nicholas DeOrio stepped into the controversy surrounding alleged explicit material linked to MrBeast’s team, claiming the messages came from a private meme group run by Ava Kris Tyson rather than an official company channel. The accusations, which began circulating after YouTuber Rosanna Pansino and user DogPack404 shared screenshots online, suggested that Jimmy Donaldson—better known as MrBeast—was associated with inappropriate content within his company’s communications.
This wave of controversy started with Rosanna Pansino’s YouTube video, where she and DogPack404 alleged that explicit and potentially harmful content appeared in chat logs supposedly linked to MrBeast’s team. The video and its implications stirred considerable online backlash. However, Nicholas DeOrio has pushed back against these claims, stating that the material in question did not belong to MrBeast’s official work chats. Instead, DeOrio argues that these screenshots originated from an entirely separate chat—specifically, an “NSFW Meme Chat” that had no ties to the business.
Despite what @RosannaPansino, @DogPack404 and several articles have reported, the "leaked MrBeast WORK Chat" filled with inappropriate messages was actually owned by Kris Tyson.

DeOrio’s post on X (formerly Twitter) included screenshots intended to clarify that the group was a meme-oriented, non-work-related chat hosted by Ava Kris Tyson. “Despite what @RosannaPansino, @DogPack404 and several articles have reported, the ‘leaked MrBeast WORK Chat’ filled with inappropriate messages was actually owned by Kris Tyson,” DeOrio stated. According to his screenshots, this group chat was labeled as an “NSFW Meme Chat” at the time of its creation, with explicit messages that clearly identified it as a casual, non-company discussion space.
The allegations from Pansino and DogPack404 were severe enough that Pansino reported the content to the FBI, citing explicit material she claimed was linked to minors. DeOrio’s response not only challenges the origin of these allegations but also accuses Pansino and DogPack404 of intentionally misleading the public to paint MrBeast’s company in a negative light. “Rosanna and DogPack posted misleading content with a false CP Allegation and misinformation regarding the nature of the chat to make MrBeast’s company appear worse,” he wrote in his post, emphasizing his belief that the “WORK” label was added misleadingly in the video description to amplify the controversy.

The fallout from these claims has sparked heated debate online, with other social media influencers, including Keemstar, stepping in to support MrBeast and refute the allegations. As of now, MrBeast himself has not publicly addressed the controversy, leaving his followers and the online community waiting for his perspective on the issue.
This ongoing situation underscores the impact of social media accusations and the importance of distinguishing between official and personal communications within influencer communities. Whether or not MrBeast will address these claims directly remains to be seen, but DeOrio’s response has undoubtedly added another layer to the public’s understanding of the controversy.
