GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA: MrBeast, the reigning content king of YouTube and arguably the platform's most influential figure, found himself entangled in accusations of removing YouTuber Rosanna Pansino from his Creator Games series, which was further heightened when Pansino leaked their private messages.
MrBeast's career has generally been devoid of significant controversies, with a substantial fan base who greatly appreciates and enjoys his content.
However, this recent controversy has had a significant impact on MrBeast, causing a notable setback for him.
MrBeast's DMs leaked by Rosanna Pansino amid controversy
Pansino has accused MrBeast of editing her out of a video within the YouTube Creator Games series. The Creator Games, organized by MrBeast, involves popular YouTube personalities competing in games like rock-paper-scissors and hide-and-seek.
Pansino, known for her baking and lifestyle content, has participated in all three editions of the Creator Games. In the 2021 installment titled 'Extreme $1,000,000 Hide and Seek,' she claims to have secured third place.
However, the video, published in December 2021, does not feature her among the top three. Instead, it showcases Logan Paul, Larray, and Zach King as the top contenders.
Pansino first discussed this issue during her appearance on Trisha Paytas’ podcast, 'Just Trish'. She admitted to delaying her response due to concerns about the potential backlash from MrBeast's fanbase.
However, she eventually posted a detailed statement on the matter.
In her tweet, Pansino shared her message, asserting, "I have been allowing others to treat me poorly in private for many years and I’m fed up. I am going to start standing up for myself and finding my voice."
In a recent post on the 'X' platform, Pansino made public the direct messages (DMs) exchanged with MrBeast when he attempted to address the issue privately.
Pansino posted screenshots of their text conversation and expressed, "If he can say it to me on the phone he can say it in writing. When I asked him to send over the raw footage to review the timeline, he went radio silent."
"MrBeast kept pressing me to get on the phone and refused to answer any of my questions in writing."
MrBeast's fans accuse Rosanna Pansino of clout chasing
Following the controversy involving MrBeast and the emergence of leaked DMs by Pansino, many users have come forward to express their perspectives on the situation.
One user wrote, "100% clout chasing 🥴."
Another user wrote, "Mental anguish over getting edited out? At the end of the day Mr beast is a content creator so if someone got edited out they probably weren't entertaining and took away from the content more than adding to it."
A user stated, "Gosh he even sounds cheerful and polite in text."
