00:00New allegations have come out about Ava Chris Tyson, and it's clear that this controversy
00:05around Mr. Beast and his crew isn't going anywhere.
00:08The content creation world has been rocked by multiple misconduct allegations against
00:12Tyson, a former member of Mr. Beast's crew, including accusations of sending inappropriate
00:17messages to minors.
00:19One of Tyson's alleged victims, who goes by the online handle LavaGS, initially pushed
00:23back on many of the stories circulating online.
00:26However, they eventually conceded that many of their interactions via Discord were unseemly
00:30in nature.
00:31Lava explained in a post on ex-formerly Twitter,
00:34"...I was a minor in this situation, and not the adult influencer who shouldn't have allowed
00:38this to happen.
00:39I did not see this as wrong at the time."
00:42Even so, Lava contends that although he believes the jokes and conversations in Tyson's Discord
00:46server were inappropriate, Tyson did not abuse him in any way.
00:50On July 27th, screenshots of hundreds of thousands of messages from that now-defunct Discord
00:55server were leaked onto the internet by someone going by NathanW on X, who claims to have
01:00been a moderator for the server.
01:03Among these screenshots are conversations in which Tyson argues for the existence of
01:06a not-safe-for-work channel for the purpose of posting explicit images, regardless of
01:12the presence of minors in the channel, as well as numerous jokes and conversations that
01:15are sexual in nature.
01:17These leaks prompted even further discourse and another statement from Lava.
01:21After saying that the messages were, quote, "...not as nearly damning as everyone thought
01:25they would be," Lava added that he felt some of it is just a product of its time, writing,
01:29"...there were some strange conversations that happened.
01:32I'm honestly glad these leaks came out, as they show a very different time of the internet.
01:36Hopefully these leaks can be an effective piece of evidence for the third-party investigation
01:40Mr. Beast has hired."
01:41However, Lava ended this post by pointing people in the direction of some of the other
01:45allegations against Tyson.
01:47Namely, a former employee of Mr. Beast has accused Tyson of sexual assault, claiming
01:51that she was in a secret, one-sided relationship with the content creator beginning in 2022.
01:57In a lengthy thread posted to X, Mouskina claims that she first met Tyson through social
02:02media, at which time the pair discussed the possibility of her joining the Mr. Beast crew.
02:06Mouskina posted,
02:07"...she was the most famous person to ever show me that type of attention, and she immediately
02:11started love-bombing me and making me feel like the most important person in her life."
02:16After moving their conversation to Snapchat, Mouskina claims that their video calls very
02:20quickly took an explicit turn.
02:22Mouskina says that Tyson abused the power dynamic between them, writing,
02:25"...I always felt like I had to say yes if I wanted to be in a video or get a job.
02:29Our relationship was very confusing to me and I didn't fully realize I was being coerced
02:33at the time."
02:34Upon meeting in person, Mouskina says she was further coerced into performing physical
02:38acts with Tyson, only to find out that she did not have the authority to put Mouskina
02:42in a video for Mr. Beast's channel.
02:45After moving in with Tyson and becoming her personal assistant, Mouskina says things only
02:49continued to become more complicated.
02:51She explained,
02:52"...Ava was able to manipulate me very easily with the power she had over me."
02:57Mouskina contends that things reached a breaking point when she moved out of their apartment
03:01to work remotely.
03:02"...Do you think I was a bad roommate when we lived together?"
03:06"...Yes."
03:07Mouskina claims she was quickly replaced as Tyson's assistant.
03:10Mouskina has since reached out to Mr. Beast's HR reps, who in turn launched an investigation
03:14into Tyson's background.
03:16Mouskina concludes by saying that she's been quite disturbed by the stories that have since
03:20come out surrounding Tyson and her Discord server, but she needed to get her story out
03:24there in order to heal.
03:26She wrote,
03:27"...I don't want hush money and I don't want clout, I just want to be able to move on with
03:30my life and close this chapter."
03:32It is unclear at this time if the investigation mentioned by Mouskina is the same one Mr.
03:37Beast posted about a few days after the allegations against Tyson surfaced, but it's very likely
03:41that this isn't the end of the story.
03:44If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.
