What were the allegations against Ava Kris Tyson?
Last month, allegations surfaced against Ava Kris Tyson when fellow YouTubers released videos accusing her of starting an inappropriate sexual relationship with a minor. Two videos, posted after June 25, claim that Tyson, then about 20 years old, began messaging the alleged victim when he was 13.
The accuser alleges that Tyson sent inappropriate messages to a minor via X and through Discord. Allegedly, Tyson jokingly mentioned selling her naked pictures to the accuser in the messages. However, whether any images were actually exchanged has not been confirmed.
The individual said to be the victim has spoken out against the allegations, saying that the accusations are “lies” and that they were “never exploited or taken advantage of.”
Ava Kris Tyson broke her silence on X, addressing the allegations for the first time. She expressed regret and wrote, “I humbly apologize to anyone I have hurt with my unacceptable social media posts, past actions, and to those who may feel betrayed by how I used to act online.” Tyson also denied the accusations and stated, “To create a narrative that my behavior extended beyond bad edgy jokes is disgusting and did not happen.”
Mr. Beast has also commented on the allegations, saying that he had hired a third-party to investigate the situation, saying that he was “disgusted and opposed to such unacceptable acts.”
