Ava Kris Tyson

[edit]

As the investigation debunked the allegations against her, isn't undue weight now being given to quotes about the allegations and the process of them being made in that section? I don't want to cause an edit war, so here now would just recommend the following edit:

On July 24, 2024, Donaldson removed Ava Kris Tyson, one of the original cast members, from the MrBeast brand following allegations against Tyson of a number of kinds of sexual misconduct. However, Tyson put out her own statement, saying she willingly stepped away and that her decision to leave was mutual. Donaldson hired an independent investigator to look further into the matter, and on November 1, the law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan concluded the allegations were baseless, after conducting "39 interviews of current and former employees" and reviewing "over 4.5 million documents from mobile phones, emails, Telegrams, Discords, WhatsApps and Slack". The law firm reported that: "The allegations were soundly rejected, including by alleged victims." These alleged victims have commented on the allegations as "massive lies," with one saying, "People used my name to make very serious allegations and claims without ever speaking to me."

The allegations were neither proven or debunked. Donaldson privately investigating his own employees isn't sufficient evidence to consider the allegations outright "debunked." I fully believe we shall refer to them as "allegations" because that's fairly neutral of us. We shouldn't take a stance on Tyson as to whether they groomed a 13-year-old boy or not. Innocent until proven guilty, but we can't take the stance that the allegations are debunked nor proven. It's like if we said (Redacted). The case never went to trial, sorta like Tyson here. We should always take the most neutral option. I personally don't think Tyson is a pedophile, but it would be a disservice to those looking for unbiased information about the allegations to claim they're "debunked" solely based on what a team of lawyers in a non-criminal investigation believed. There will most likely be an edit war over this position because most Wikipedia editors (in my experience) don't actually care about upholding neutrality, just whatever satisfies their worldview no matter how much it contradicts available information and/or Wikipedia's own rules.

James Stephen Donaldson (MrBeast) Arrested

[edit]

Jimmy was "Charged With Reckless Driving to Endanger" as well as "Speed Racing" Sources https://www.dexerto.com/youtube/mrbeast-fans-stunned-to-discover-youtuber-was-reportedly-arrested-in-2018-2970381/ ClarBonn (talk) 23:06, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this is notable enough to be mentioned in the article, as the information is only recently resurfaced, and street racing is not the worst crime one can commit. ChopinChemistTalk? 14:42, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dexerto is "rarely suitable for BLPs". If there is a better source, I would support its inclusion in the article. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 18:14, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is an article in Road and Track, [1] which is an enthusiast magazine. Nothing more mainstream and reliable that I could find. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 18:21, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jalapeño

Sorry, you’re looking at an instance where in the year 2024, a trans person was falsely accused of grooming and had her life publicly destroyed, and don’t see how a wider social movement taking place at the same time which explicitly seeks to paint trans people as groomers, using that exact word, is related and perhaps warrants a see also?

Former employee's (YouTube channel) name

[edit]

DogPack404 is the name of the channel used to publish the allegation videos. should we include links to the videos too? Metricwiki (talk) 01:32, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Metricwiki There was some debate on this very talk page (now archived) on whether or not to include "Dogpack404" in the article. Since the debate outcome has been that he is of no importance to the article I doubt link to the videos can be added to the article without opposition.
