Jake Weddle, a former Jimmy "MrBeast" employee, recently took to Instagram to drop a "nuke" on the YouTuber's "secret CEO" James Warren. On August 29, 2024, former MrBeast employee DogPack404 posted his third video on the content creator and discussed a few allegations against Warren.
DogPack404 claimed to have heard Warren being described as a "very aggressive" individual who is allegedly involved in a domestic violence case:
"I heard that he's very aggressive. I've heard him referred to as a psychopath who screams at people and hits his girlfriends. There's allegedly domestic violence charges that were filed against him."
In an Instagram Story posted on September 5, 2024, Jake Weddle accused James Warren of paying sex workers and bragging about his bank account. Providing details about the conversation he had with his friends, Weddle stated:
"Last thing, and this is for fun. One of the nukes, I'm just going to go ahead and drop it. James Warren... sex work is work. This should be, you know, legalized and regulated so that, you know, people in those industries do not get hurt, right? That's my opinion on that. I have friends in those industries. You know, people I used to go to high school with. And I stay in touch with."
He continued:
"They can't text me fast enough when they say, 'Hey, do you know this guy, James Warren?' I was like, 'Yeah, why?' (His friends' response) 'Oh, yeah, I've worked with him a few times. He loves to pay us to be around, and then he likes to show us his bank account. Show us how much money he has.' People he paid to be around, you know, for that kind of stuff, which again, that's fine."
Describing these alleged actions as "cringe and weird," Weddle remarked:
"But it's weird and cringe to pay those people to be around, and then take out your phone, and show them how much money you..."
Jake Weddle insists he has screenshots to prove his claim about MrBeast's "secret CEO" James Warren, explains why he won't show it
In the next Instagram Story, Jake Weddle insisted that he had screenshots to back up his claims about MrBeast's "secret CEO" James Warren. However, he expressed reluctance to make it public because it could "endanger" those who provided information about the situation:
"Do we have screenshots to prove that? Of course, I do! Do I want to endanger the people who sent me those things? No, I do not because that's what's difficult about this... is people don't come forward because of you f**king trolls! Everyone is terrified to come forward. 'Oh, everyone's anonymous.' That's because you people are f**king insane! That's why people are anonymous. And that's why, he's gotten away for so long! It's because of you people who harass people on the internet!"
On the same day (September 5, 2024), Jake Weddle insinuated that MrBeast should be "jailed" after listing several serious allegations against the YouTuber.
