MrBeast's girlfriend Thea Booysen speaks out to defend him against recent allegations
MrBeast has been in the spotlight lately mostly concerning the news surrounding his collaborator, Ava Kris Tyson.
Tyson has worked with the popular YouTuber, real name Jimmy Donaldson, since 2012 but recently left the channel after facing grooming allegations, which she denies.
With them both working so closely together and sharing Discord servers, fans can't help but wonder how MrBeast didn't know about her actions, leading them to question his behaviour also.
Donaldson's girlfriend, Thea Booysen has since spoken out about her partner. But her comments haven't necessarily cleared things up.

Things heated up when a former employee posted video essays accusing MrBeast of rigging challenges, running illegal giveaways, and lying about the healthiness of his chocolate bars.
Additionally, MrBeast faced accusations of hiring a registered sex offender to appear in some videos.
As the allegations grew, fans noticed MrBeast deleting comments on his videos and trying to manage the damage control, which made him seem even guiltier. There were also claims that he tried to silence the former employee through lawsuits.
Over time, more and more employees came forward with their own accusations. Some called MrBeast a 'sociopath' for doing videos like '100 Days in Solitary Confinement'.
Fans have turned to Booysen suggesting she should leave her boyfriend, MrBeast.
Booysen is an influencer from South Africa who currently has 37K subscribers, makes content focused on gaming, Disney Lorcana and Warhammer.
One viewer commented on one of her videos that she should 'get away from the Beast as soon as you can.'
In response, Booysen replied: 'I appreciate the message. There is so much that is not being said. I wish I could talk more about the situation. Half the things that are said are not true. I wouldn't be with him if they were.'
Booysen went on to call MrBeast a 'good person' and expressed hope that things would be 'fixed.'
She doesn't want to get involved in the drama but unfortunately, her response hasn't settled things.
Fans focused on the 'half' part of her response as they're left wondering which half is true and which isn't.
Without any concrete confirmations, everyone is none the wiser. But it hasn't stopped his ongoing love and support from his community, especially in the build up to his biggest tv show ever to hit Amazon Prime.
