Summary
MrBeast hasn’t had a great October. Earlier this month,YouTuberand famous baker Rosanna Pansino released a video comparing Lunchables with MrBeast’s new Lunchly alternative, which the YouTuber set up with fellow content creators KSI and Logan Paul. In the video, Pansino opened up the cheese portion of the Lunchly todiscover a significant amount of mold, despite the product having an expiration date of December.
To try and clear the air and shoot down Pansino’s claims, a representative of MrBeast told Newsweek to “consider the source”, though they didn’t mention dozens of other emerging videos also revealing mold in Lunchly products. Just a few days later, MrBeast found himself in another scandal, this time relating to comments made by Ava Tyson earlier this year,as Pansino reported MrBeast to the FBIafter claiming the YouTuber was aware of Tyson allegedly grooming an underage fan.
