Rosanna Pansino's name has become viral within the Jimmy "MrBeast" fandom. Pansino, a YouTuber herself, has been making a series of allegations against MrBeast which started with her calling out the latter over a video in which she participated but alleged that he had altered the outcome (by editing her out of a third-place finish).
Recently, she also highlighted her concerns about participants in an upcoming MrBeast project with Amazon Prime (Beast Games). She alleged that over 200 people had reached out to her to speak about their ill experience with filming for MrBeast.
Rosanna Pansino recently appeared on NBC News to speak about the allegations and the controversy surrounding MrBeast. She said:
"I received serious, scary death threats. I have been online for a long time, so a little cyberbullying or negative comments, I'm used to handling them mentally but not at this magnitude...The death threats were very specific, they were very targeted."
She was asked about critics accusing her of "alleviating her profile." She responded:
"I understand that perspective but I really encourage those people to look at the bigger picture because what he's doing is not happening in a vacuum, it's happening to a ton of people."

NBC News also reached out to one of the reported participants of MrBeast's Beast Games. The participant, named William, claimed that he had witnessed other contestants being denied their medication during the filming. William alleged:
"One girl in our group did need her epilepsy medication and she did not get it. She had a hard time fighting for it...we finally got access to food after about 10 hours and I witnessed a male collapse right in front of me and he was convulsing."
The network also reported that they had reached out to five other unnamed participants who made similar allegations of not being provided food and witnessing other contestants "pass out."
At the time of writing, Jimmy hasn't yet responded to these claims.
The allegations, of course, are not limited to Beast Games but extend to MrBeast's other videos as well. A former employee and YouTuber named DogPack404 has accused Jimmy of faking his videos, fostering a toxic work environment, and even hiring a couple of individuals who are alleged sexual offenders or responsible for misconduct.
