00:04Kicking this video off with YouTuber MrBeast,
00:06five unnamed contestants from MrBeast's upcoming Amazon reality game show called Beast Games
00:11filed a class action lawsuit against the YouTuber earlier this year
00:14and they claimed that MrBeast's production company and Amazon Studios
00:18created a toxic and hostile environment and, quote,
00:21laid the groundwork for sexual harassment.
00:23There's also a wage dispute element to this too.
00:25Definitely isn't good.
00:26Next up, Brianna LaPaglia, also known as Brianna Chicken Fry,
00:29and country singer Zach Bryan.
00:30Their breakup was incredibly toxic this year,
00:33with Brianna taking to her platform saying that
00:35Zach offered to pay her millions of dollars to sign an NDA.
00:38She also accused him of some very toxic behavior.
00:40Next up, Hayley Welch, a.k.a. the Hawk Tua girl.
00:43She faced controversy this year when she launched her own cryptocurrency
00:46and it lost over 95% of its value after reaching a $490 million market cap.
00:51People have accused her of a pump and dump scheme,
00:53although she's denied it.
00:54Last up, let's talk about Brecky Hill.
00:55She was accused of hooking up with Barry Keoghan
00:57while he was allegedly still dating Sabrina Carpenter.
