The company promised young men modeling and career opportunities and allegedly threatened to destroy the ment’s careers if they did not participate. (The Justice Department)
• In a previous episode, we talked about the sexual misconduct allegations around MrBeast’s longtime friend and employee, Ava Tyson. At the time, MrBeast denied sexual misconduct and grooming within the MrBeast organization. Since then, an independent law firm has completed an investigation and found no evidence of sexual misconduct and grooming. Despite that, the investigation did uncover several other instances of workplace harassment and misconduct. As a result, MrBeast says he has fired several employees. (The New York Times and AP)
