It has been less than a month since Dr Disrespect vanished from the internet following the surfacing of extremely damaging allegations of sexual messaging with a minor – which in part, he admitted to.
Now, MrBeast’s team has come under fire following the emergence of claims that Ava Kris Tyson, a co-host of the super-sized channel and close personal friend of Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson, formed a relationship with a 13-year-old fan and spent years communicating with them and interacting with suspicious and at times immoral ‘art’.
What Has Kris Tyson Done?
In recent days, a series of clips and videos have emerged online alleging that Ava Kris Tyson – formerly known as ‘Chris Tyson’ before their gender transition started in 2023 – knowingly and nefariously interacted with a young fan over a series of years. Per the reports, the fan won a competition at 13 years old, and Kris Tyson formed a relationship with the minor, going so far as to ‘co-run’ a Discord server with them and stay in touch on social media.
This is where the core of the concerns begin, as evidence has surfaced online showing Tyson sending risque comments to the minor – known as ‘Lava’ – on social media. There are also some screencaps showing questionable messages on Discord between Tyson and Lava.
It’s important to stress right off the bat that Lava has come out on social media in defence of Ava Kris Tyson, stressing that no wrongdoing took place aside from ‘edgy jokes’ that bordered on being inappropriate:
It’s easy to write this off as being fake, but MrBeast reportedly connected KEEMSTAR to Lava after confirming that he is indeed the minor in question – but he’s now 20 years old. After talking at length to Lava, it was determined that he was not groomed by Tyson, he did not meet Tyson by himself all those years ago, and the furthest it went was with ‘edgy inappropriate jokes‘.
That’s walking the line that’s very close to what got Dr Disrespect booted out of the gaming community. It was just a few weeks ago that Guy ‘Dr Direspect’ Beahm revealed that he’d messaged a 17-year-old years ago and that the conversation took inappropriate turns at times. That earned him a ticket out of the industry – for now.
It doesn’t end there with Ava Kris Tyson, though.
As eagle-eyed hunters dug into the story, darker references were found online. For instance, Ava Kris Tyson has on many occasions interacted with ‘Shadman’, an artist known for drawing young characters in provocative or downright sexual poses and styles, and in one post, it looked as though Tyson was begging Shadman to ‘draw a 10-year-old anime girl’.
KEEMSTAR was one of the more prolific creators who backed up the claim that Tyson supported the ‘CP artist’.
In one of the more recent posts online, Jake Franklin, a former member of MrBeast’s team, said ‘Jimmy knew.’ This is a direct reference to MrBeast himself, and it’s a potentially damaging claim that suggests he knew what Tyson was up to – but it’s vague. What did Jimmy know? If he knew about Tyson and Lava but Lava has discredited the claims, what’s there to know?
Ava Kris Tyson has since made their Twitter profile private and has been removing many of the posts that people have been referring to in videos and screenshots. Fans and critics worldwide are now awaiting the inevitable explanation video or post that’ll surface following this debacle.

Insider Gaming doing objective coverage on this is refreshing to see. Sites are either not talking about it or too scared to mention all the facts that make Ava look bad.
GGs to you guys.
Its intellectually bankrupt to present planning to meet up with a minor, as comparable to edgy jokes. especially when the individual themselves said it was nothing like that.
edgy jokes, hahahahahahahaa
