On Friday, Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, he posted on Twitter the findings of a three-month investigation into allegations about his company’s “workplace environment and culture,” as well as specific allegations against current and former employees.

According to Donaldson’s email, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP found that allegations of sexual misconduct “between the Company’s employees and minors,” as well as “allegations that the Company knowingly employs individuals with propensities or histories of sexual misconduct legally illegal or questionable’ are ‘baseless’. The letter is signed by Alex Spiro, who is also the lead attorney in the current federal corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams. The law firm said in a statement that it had “nothing at this time” to add.

The investigation’s conclusion came after a tough summer for Donaldson, who runs YouTube’s biggest channel. On July 24, Donaldson tweeted that he and his company had parted ways with Ava Kris Tyson, who had been his second-in-command since the channel started in 2012 over allegations that she inappropriate conversations with minors, including her Discord moderator, LavaGS. A few days later, Tyson’s former executive assistant, Jess, tweeted a now-deleted thread that she was “sexually attached” by the creator, who used her status within the company to coerce sexual favors. Jess also claimed that after she no longer wanted to engage in sexual favors with the MrBeast star, Tyson ended their professional relationship. On July 23 a post on XTyson has denied any allegations of grooming or sexual misconduct, adding “I humbly apologize to anyone I have hurt with my objectionable social media posts, previous actions, and to those who may feel betrayed by the way I I used to act online.” (Tyson offered no comment for Rolling Stone at the time and also did not respond to a request for comment on the conclusion of the investigation.)

This is the first public comment Donaldson has made about Tyson since those initial allegations and only the third tweet he has posted since July. According to the email he shared, they identified “several isolated instances of workplace harassment and misconduct” but took “prompt and inadequate action” to address the incidents. They did not specify what those specific incidents were or who was disciplined.

There are also a number of recommended changes that MrBeast has “already implemented or is in the process of implementing”, including “mandatory corporate training for all employees”, “developing new policies codified in an employee handbook” and “swiftly terminating individuals who have violated company policy.” The company will also hire a new CEO, replacing the venture capitalist Jeffrey Housenbold who was hired in June, as well as the CPO, CFO and General Counsel. (It’s unclear if these roles previously existed.) In early August, an internal email leaked to X DramaAlert accountannouncing many of these changes internally, including the hiring of a new general counsel and CFO, “mandatory training,” “listening sessions,” and “anonymous review.” (A spokesman for MrBeast declined to comment.)

The email also mentions a cease and desist law firm sent to YouTuber and former MrBeast employee Dawson French, who, under the name “DogPack404,” posted several videos alleging inappropriate workplace behavior at MrBeast (although some criticized him for sharing information he didn’t have been fully verified). “If MrBeast wanted the truth out, why would he threaten the whistleblower with legal action,” French says in a statement to Rolling Stone. While he says he has not been interviewed for this investigation, he notes that “they took action against the people we reported.”

Those whose stories were investigated have mixed feelings about Donaldson’s tweet. LavaGS, who was 13 when she started talking to 20-year-old Tyson, he posted on Twitter in a response that “private investigators reviewed all my DMs and interactions with” Tyson. “I wasn’t looked after, these were false accusations made by other people with my name thrown into them.” The moderator was very clear that he has not been groomed since his story broke, tweeting in July 23, “I’m not a victim” and “Nothing bad happened between me and” Tyson. When contacted for comment, LavaGS directed Rolling Stone to his statement.

But Jess says the post made her “sad”. Although none of the accusers were named, her story was the catalyst that started the misconduct investigation. She contacted MrBeast HR on July 10th. Although she had been interviewed as part of the investigation, she says their last correspondence was on August 14. “They stopped answering me,” says Jess. “This public statement is the only update on this situation that I have at all.”
