"Disappointing and disgusting": Valkyrae blasts Ava Kris Tyson after former MrBeast member issues apology for grooming allegations

YouTube streamer and 100 Thieves co-owner Valkyrae has slammed Ava Kris Tyson after the latter issued a statement regarding the grooming and pedophilia allegations. For those unaware, Ava Kris Tyson was accused by many YouTubers such as Prism42 and Breone of sending inappropriate messages to a minor in the past.

Almost a day after the allegations became the topic of heated debate online, Ava addressed the situation in a post on X where she also announced stepping away from the MrBeast team. Valkyrae, however, was not quite happy with the statement and stated as such in a reply from her official account.

Welcoming Ava Kris Tyson leaving the MrBeast team, Valkyrae called out the apology, claiming that she was expecting a more detailed response:

"I was hoping for a more detailed response but glad Ava is overall stepping away from mr beasts team. Disappointing and disgusting"

Exploring Valkyrae's takes on the Ava Kris Tyson allegations

Valkyrae and Pokimane have been on the receiving end of much backlash since the allegations against Ava Kris Tyson surfaced. Netizens and other internet personalities such as Keemstar and Sneako called out streamers for not registering their response to Ava's controversy, insinuating double standards as many of them had criticized Dr DisRespect when allegations against him were confirmed.

Prior to Ava Kris Tyson's controversial statement, both Pokimane and Valkyrae had made a couple of posts on X noting the differences in the circumstances between the now-former MrBeast team member and Dr DisRespect's case. Pokimane noted that Ava had yet to give her side of the story while stating that sending inappropriate texts to minors is not acceptable in any circumstance.

Pokimane had also criticized the transphobic statements being made against Ava Kris Tyson. In the same vein, Valkyrae called out the reaction online, stating:

"The actions of one trans person does not mean all. Sucks to see so many anti trans people act as if it does. Im hoping Ava speaks up. Dr d is still gross. Lastly to the incels that ONLY tagged Poki and I to “speak up” even though everybody did after D did himself, you’re weird. Focus your hate towards the p*dos for once"

Valkyrae had outright noted that she wants Ava Kris Tyson to confess in a subsequent comment on X under the post, writing:

"Kris is Ava and I want them to confess for their crimes"

Now that Ava has finally addressed the allegations in a post on X, it seems to have been quite a disappointment for Valkyrae, who made her feelings known to the public.
