YouTube personality Rosanna Pansino has intensified her accusations against Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, by submitting alleged company chat logs to the FBI. This development follows her recent claims that members of MrBeast’s team, including Ava Kris Tyson, shared explicit and disturbing content in a work-related Telegram group. Pansino publicly announced her decision on social media, expressing hope that the authorities will investigate the claims and address the matter.
In a video titled MrBeast KNEW All Along… (1,000+ Leaked Messages) posted on October 27, 2024, Rosanna Pansino collaborates with an ex-MrBeast team member, DogPack404, to review alleged chat logs between MrBeast employees. The video reveals over 1,000 messages, with Pansino alleging that these logs, shared on the messaging platform Telegram, contain graphic and troubling material, including references to sensitive topics she considers highly inappropriate for a workplace environment. Some of the content reportedly includes images and exchanges that Pansino describes as “disturbing,” and she claims it raises questions about the professional culture within MrBeast’s team.
Following the video, Rosanna Pansino took to X (formerly Twitter), revealing her decision to notify the FBI about these chats. In her post, she stated:
This series of accusations began when Ava Kris Tyson, a former MrBeast employee, left the team amid allegations of “grooming” a young fan in July 2024. While MrBeast initially promised an investigation, claiming he was unaware of the prior issues, Pansino’s video suggests that Donaldson may have been more informed than he indicated.
Throughout her latest video, Rosanna Pansino provides context for the leaked messages, explaining that she verified the legitimacy of the chat logs with other former employees who corroborated her findings. She describes the chat content from 2020 to 2021 as “insane” and shared a screen recording of a segment of the chats in a follow-up post on X. She further claims that the conversations include problematic jokes, inappropriate memes, and even references to an anime title she claims portrays a relationship between a minor and an adult—material she suggests should have raised red flags for Donaldson.
Pansino’s video quickly gained traction, amassing over 500,000 views within 24 hours, and sparked heated discussions across social media platforms. In her comments, she calls out MrBeast for allegedly tolerating and engaging with Tyson’s actions, questioning how he could remain unaware of Tyson’s behavior. “How the hell could Jimmy say he doesn’t know about his best friend when he’s posting this in the chat with him?” she asked.
Adding to the controversy is Pansino’s history of criticism toward MrBeast’s business practices. Earlier, she highlighted alleged quality control issues with his company Lunchly, claiming that several product packages contained moldy cheese—a claim that attracted the attention of other content creators and influencers. Despite the mounting accusations, MrBeast has yet to issue any response regarding the latest revelations or the reported FBI involvement.
As the FBI reviews Pansino’s submission, the next steps could have significant implications for MrBeast’s brand and team dynamics. Whether the authorities find grounds to pursue further investigation remains uncertain, but Pansino’s allegations have unquestionably stirred the online community, bringing both public scrutiny and law enforcement attention to MrBeast’s operations.
