Ava Kris Tyson, who is a member of Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson’s crew, is facing serious accusations regarding grooming a minor and supporting inappropriate art.

Allegations suggest that Ava Kris Tyson engaged in making sexual jokes with Lava, who was a minor when he won a MrBeast contest. There are screenshots indicating that Lava might have been 14 years old when he first interacted with Ava Kris Tyson. Over time, the two formed a close friendship and exchanged sexual jokes on Discord and other platforms, including Twitter.

All of this was discovered a month ago by Prism42, around the same time Ava Kris Tyson deleted all of her old posts from X. However, the issue has now gained traction as new information comes to light.

In one of the screenshots, Ava jokes about sending nudes to Lava, who was underage at the time. In other posts, Ava offers to make him a mod on her streams. A few other discord screenshots show both of them making sexual jokes and chatting on Snapchat when Lava was 14, and Ava was 22.

That is not all. The two allegedly met in person when Lava was still a minor. Considering the nature of their messages, the fans are concerned if Ava truly groomed the minor, who’s now denying that Ava did anything wrong.

Taking to X, Lava said that he never met Ava alone and that the videos making the accusations were false. This was also reported by Keemstar, who claimed that MrBeast directly connected him to Lava for clarification on the matter. This suggests that the most subscribed YouTuber is aware of the controversy.

But the accusations don’t end here. Ava Kris Tyson’s old posts get extremely problematic. People have dug out screenshots where Ava accepted buying art from Shadman, a highly controversial artist known for his pornographic art. He was at the center of a controversy for creating sexual art of people with childlike appearance.

Did MrBeast know about Ava Kris grooming?

A cryptic post from a former crew member alleged that MrBeast was aware of the inappropriate exchanges between Lava and Ava.

However, it’s tough to say how much truth there is to that claim unless MrBeast comes clean or Ava shares a statement. For now, fans are calling out MrBeast for not instantly cutting her off from his crew. It’s worth noting that MrBeast publicly supported Ava after she transitioned to a female in 2023.
