Content Creator Shares Serious Accusations Against MrBeast's TV Series

MrBeast is once again facing serious criticism online. While the YouTuber continues to investigate the disturbing allegations against former crew member Ava Tyson, another former employee accused MrBeast of faking his videos – and now, another content creator has come forward to accuse one MrBeast project of getting a little too real. Rosanna Pansino has leveled some genuinely shocking allegations against "Beast Games," the reality TV show that MrBeast is producing for Amazon Prime.

The premise of "Beast Games" will sound familiar to anyone who's spent much time watching MrBeast on YouTube, only on a larger scale: The show pits 1,000 contestants against each other in a fierce fight for $5 million. While promoting the show for Amazon, MrBeast said, "My goal is to make the greatest show possible and prove YouTubers and creators can succeed on other platforms. Amazon gave me the creative control I need to try and make it happen."

According to Pansino, a creator best known for her baking videos, MrBeast's creative control resulted in total chaos. In a series of clips, she's shared messages that she claims are from fellow "Beast Games" competitors and crew members. Pansino also shared some insight from the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) — a union that represents crew members on various professional productions — that really makes the "Beast Games" production in Las Vegas look like a hot mess. If what Pansino says is true, then "Beast Games" might be up there with the shadiest things MrBeast has ever done.

In her first video talking about "Beast Games," Pansino shared a text message that she said came from a competitor on the show. The message describes a sloppy and dangerous production, with the writer saying that they felt the games were rigged to favor younger and more athletic male competitors. The intensely physical nature of the challenges led to multiple injuries, and the competitor wrote that they'd seen several other people, mostly women, with serious injuries like broken bones. Even more disturbing, they claimed the "Beast Games" crew only fed competitors small meals every 12 hours and denied people access to their own prescription medication.

It should be noted that this is not the first time Pansino has criticized MrBeast. The creator alleged last year that his team edited her appearance in his "Creator Games 3" video to make it look like she performed poorly. 

In another video titled "MrBeast 'Beast Games' Keeps Getting Worse..." Pansino alleged that the "Beast Games" production had tried to only hire non-union workers in an attempt to lower production costs and circumvent stringent safety requirements. She shared a screenshot of an email from IATSE which said, "Mr. Beast ... has been deemed an unfair production." The email went on to say that IATSE members are not allowed to work on "Beast Games." That email would seem to back up Pansino's earlier claims about the conditions on the "Beast Games" set. 

It should be noted that this is not the first time Pansino has criticized MrBeast. The creator alleged last year that his team edited her appearance in his "Creator Games 3" video to make it look like she performed poorly. On the morning of July 30, Pansino posted a third video claiming that her first video is being suppressed in regions outside of the US. However, she's not the only one who's saying that "Beast Games" is having serious problems.

Part of the "Beast Games" show is being filmed in Las Vegas, and a locally run blog shared stories that were very similar to what Pansino relayed in her videos. Vital Vegas found a recruiting ad for "Beast Games" that seemingly confirmed the show had been looking for non-union workers. The blog also got in contact with "Beast Games" competitors, local hospital staff, and the MrBeast team to fill in the gaps in the story. Competitors told stories to Vital Vegas stories that were right in line with Pansino's video. "They have denied food to diabetics, denied water to contestants, and at least two individuals have had seizures as a result," one contestant claimed. A representative for MrBeast said that only three medical events happened on set: one caused by dehydration, and two caused by issues unrelated to the show. An anonymous local hospital employee told a slightly different story, saying, "I'm aware of three or four hospital evacs today. Overnight shift said it was insane, so not sure if or how many hospital evacs there were."

The stories coming out of the "Beast Games" production are disturbing, and so far neither MrBeast nor Amazon have publicly responded to any of the allegations. Fans are hoping to hear from MrBeast soon, and the pressure is only going to increase as more stories come out. As of this writing, "Beast Games" does not have a scheduled release date.
