Twitch streamer and Fortnite icon Tyler "Ninja" has weighed in on the grooming allegations made against Ava Kris Tyson. At the two-hour-46-minute mark of the livestream on July 23, 2024, Ninja's attention was drawn to his viewers, who asked him to comment on the controversy surrounding the former Jimmy "MrBeast" crew member.
Sharing his thoughts on those who "talk to anyone underage," Ninja said:
"Guys, I see a lot of people asking me to comment on the MrBeast situation, or with Kris. Listen, it's f**king simple! I don't care who you are. I don't care what you are. I don't care what community you're a part of. Talking to anyone f**king underage... hello? It's not difficult. Don't condone it! Just don't f**king do it! Guys, what f**king year is it? How hard is it?"
The 33-year-old then offered advice to his community, stating:
"I don't know what to tell you, man. Listen, guys, I can promise you... it's not that hard! Here's what you should do, chat. Ready? You just don't DM anyone. It's not hard! It's really not hard to be faithful, dude. It's probably one of the easiest things in the world."
Ninja says he "goes out of his way" not to be in a room with a woman while talking about the Ava Kris Tyson controversy
Ninja continued the conversation, saying that he "goes out of his way" to avoid being alone with a woman in a room. He went on to say that he does not DM anyone other than "his boys":
"I go out of my way to make sure that I am never even alone in another room with a woman. Ever! Ever, at any moment. Even, like, my PR. It doesn't matter who it is. If there is someone else in that room at all times, if we're alone, I leave instantly. That's on, like, fidelity, right? As for anything else, dude, I don't DM anyone, bro. I DM my boys. I DM guys in the community. There's no private messages going on with any girls."

Ninja added:
"If I don't know you, I'm not DMing you. I don't want to get to know you, dude. I don't want to find out you're only 17. Like... I don't know how to explain it, man. I'm also 33 years old, and if I was fricking 19 or 20 again, like, and I wasn't in an incredible relationship, like, it's just... I don't know. Jesus Christ, bro!"
On July 23, 2024, Ava Kris Tyson took to X to address the grooming allegations. After apologizing for her past behavior and comments, the 28-year-old announced that she was "permanently" stepping away from "all things" related to MrBeast.
