MrBeast is facing serious allegations from former employee and YouTuber Rosanna Pansino. It is alleged that many of MrBeast's videos are fake, the working conditions are immoral, and fans are being tricked into illegal gambling.
Former employees of MrBeast have spoken out about the working conditions and the authenticity of MrBeast's projects, and it doesn't look good. A few days ago, DogPack404 uploaded a 1-hour video with all the details about MrBeast's authenticity.
We've summarized everything about the current state of things – just in case you don't have the time to check out all the videos and statements.

"He's A FRAUD" Former MrBeast Employees Speak Up
On July 24, DogPack uploaded the video "I Worked For MrBeast, He's A Fraud" on YouTube, which by now has already reached over 5 million views. He claims that many of MrBeasts videos are heavily scripted, involve friends as participants, and use CGI, despite his claims that his content is genuine.
DogPack also revealed that many of the prizes in his videos actually go to friends or employees, which raises questions about the fairness and transparency of his giveaways. He is also accused of making misleading promises to attract more subscribers.
The most serious allegation involves illegal gambling. MrBeast is accused of encouraging viewers to buy merchandise during livestreams for a chance to win prizes like iPhones. Additionally, his chocolate brand is reportedly used to lure customers into an online casino. These practices mainly target children, who are enticed by aggressive marketing to spend money and gamble.
According to a podcast interview, he also once claimed that he was aware of the fact that a vast majority of his viewers are children, which makes the allegations even more severe.
Now the question is whether DogPack's experiences actually match the truth, because on July 29, five days after DogPacks video, another MrBeast employee, called "chucky", has come forward on X (Twitter) and accused him of lying. Please see for yourself:
I quickly want to debunk some of the info in this video since the guy who made it was on my team. It was my decision to fire him for erratic behavior, he worked at the company for less than a month and wasn't an employee for most of the videos he mentions to have knowledge on.... pic.twitter.com/Xz0DMgated

But if that wasn't enough already, a few days after DogPacks video released, Rosanna Pansino, a YouTuber who also appeared in MrBeasts videos, expresses serious concerns about the conditions during the filming of the Amazon Prime show “Beast Games”.
Pansino talks about how she received numerous messages from participants reporting inhumane conditions. The games focus heavily on speed and physical strength, which resulted in women and elderly people in particular being injured. Some were dragged off the pitch unconscious so that the games could continue. Women were not given the necessary hygiene products, and promised medication was not provided. Participants were allegedly offered 1,000 dollars to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and not speak about the conditions.
These allegations raise serious ethical and legal concerns, particularly about protecting minors.
MrBeast Criticism Gets Censored And Creator Receives Cease And Desist Orders
After the MrBeast scandal made rounds on the internet, and while we are still waiting for an official statement from MrBeast, something else has happened.
The creator of the "MrBeast Is A FRAUD" video, DogPack, reportedly received a cease and desist letter from MrBeast's legal team for allegedly disclosing confidential information, which violates his employment contract.
However, he announced that he will make more revelations that could damage MrBeast's reputation even further.
Some updates: I was originally going to expose MrBeast's philanthropy efforts being more for aiding private interests and boosting MrBeasts image than actually doing anything good but in that investigation I came across something far more interesting that no one else has ever... pic.twitter.com/QAL2uUBbDk

In a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" (AMA), he also claimed that MrBeast makes $600 million in annual revenue and has 300 employees, but only spends 0.1% on charitable causes. Another former cameraman confirmed that in a hide-and-seek video, cheating was intentional and criticized the poor working conditions and lack of safety in the team.
Additionally, DogPack reportedly learned from an anonymous source that MrBeast plans to hire a private investigator to gather material against him. However, it is unclear whether this information is true or just meant to intimidate.
Rosanna Pansino's Videos Censored
Furthermore, Rosanna Pansino's videos about the situation have also been censored and are no longer available on TikTok. In a short video, she expressed feeling that someone is trying to silence her. Nevertheless, her video has been reposted numerous times and seen by millions.
