On October 29, 2023, YouTuber Rosanna Pansino took to her official X (formerly Twitter) handle to apologize to Jimmy "MrBeast." For those unaware, Pansino accused the Kansas native of "lying and editing" her out of his popular video - Creator Games 3. In a now-deleted public statement, Rosanna Pansino said:
"When the video was released, I was shocked, disappointed, and felt hurt. Mr. Beast (Jimmy) had edited the video to make me look like I performed worse than I did. This was extra upsetting because I genuinely believed him when he said that his videos are 'authentic and real.' He edited the video to like the final three people were Larray, Logan Paul, and Zach King. The final three people were actually Zach, Quackity, and myself."
She also leaked a series of private conversations she had with MrBeast on October 28, 2023, after the philanthropist reached out to her.
Pansino apologized to MrBeast earlier today, writing that she should have expressed her feelings "privately" and handled the situation "directly":
