Rosanna Pansino claims MrBeast has hired former Harvey Weinstein PR team member to "rebuild image" amid recent controversies

YouTuber Rosanna Pansino has made bold claims about Jimmy "MrBeast" amid the latter's recent controversies. The YouTuber has been in the headlines since July when serious allegations against Ava Kris Tyson, a member of MrBeast's team, surfaced on social media. For context, Tyson was accused of having inappropriate interactions with a minor and supporting the work of highly contentious cartoonist Shadman.

Following this scandal, a former employee, DogPack404, accused the content creator of manipulating children, faking videos, operating illegal lotteries, and selling "fake signatures."

On August 9, 2024, an alleged internal email from MrBeast leaked on X, in which he claimed to have hired a "top-tier law firm" to investigate the Ava Kris Tyson allegations. Here's what the 26-year-old allegedly wrote in the email:

"I wanted to update all of you on the recent concerns that have been raised online and in the press. As I mentioned in my tweet a couple of weeks ago, we've hired Quinn Emanual, a top-tier law firm, to do a full investigation of the Ava Tyson allegations."

Later, on August 13, 2024, Rosanna Pansino claimed that the Kansas native hired Matthew Hiltzik, who began his public relations career at Harvey Weinstein's Miramax:

"MrBeast has hired Matthew Hiltzik's Crisis Management Company. Matthew Hiltzik began his PR career at Weinstein's Miramax. Matthew Hiltzik is a lawyer and publicist who represents politicians and Hollywood gigures."

Pansino believed that the leaked email was a "strategic move" to rebuild the most-subscribed YouTuber's public image:

"Shortly after MrBeast hired Matthew, a MrBeast Company email was "'leaked." I believe this was their 1st strategic move attempting to rebuild Jimmy's image to the public."
