On August 22, 2024, X user @kommiefornia called YouTuber Rosanna Pansino a "grifter" for making allegations against Jimmy "MrBeast." For those out of the loop, Rosanna Pansino has been discussing MrBeast's upcoming Amazon Prime game show, Beast Games. According to her, she has received numerous testimonials from alleged participants who reported unsafe conditions while filming the series.
In a social media post, X user @kommiefornia accused Rosanna Pansino of "grifting off the attack" on the most-subscribed YouTuber:
"@RosannaPansino, This woman is grifting off the 'attack MrBeast' craze right now. I don't think Jimmy Donaldson is some great guy or anything, but this girl comes off as highly smug and disingenuous. She definitely has never run a company with a lot of people."
Later that day, the 39-year-old responded to the X user's remarks by posting:
"I don't think 'grifter' means what you think it means. A grifter is a con artist: someone who swindles people out of money through fraud. (For example: a person who runs questionable sweepstakes targeting children, selling fake signed merch, faking monetized videos while calling them real, rigging competitions, not to mention hiring a registered sex offender and putting him in children’s videos)."
Rosanna Pansino says MrBeast is a "dangerous person" after responding to a netizen calling her a "grifter"
On the same day (August 22, 2024), X user @TheOzarkEmpire responded to Rosanna Pansino's aforementioned post, stating that she has "got to let go of stuff" related to MrBeast:
"Surely, there is at least one person in your organization that has had the guts to point out how this Mr. Beast obsession makes you look a little nuts, right? I hope so at least. You gotta let this stuff go... I bought my daughter your book years ago, btw (by the way)."
In response, the content creator labeled the Kansas native a "dangerous person," claiming that those around him were "getting hurt." She went on to claim that "many other stories" have not yet been made public:
"Calling me names because I have decided to address horrible behavior within the YouTube community is backwards. I personally saw his mask slip while working together. MrBeast is a dangerous person. People around him are getting hurt, and will continue to get hurt if nothing is done. I cannot in good conscience sit back and do nothing. There are many other stories that aren't public yet. I hope you listen to them even if you don't listen to me."
Rosanna Pansino recently claimed on X that she had received reports of "major issues" allegedly occurring during Beast Games' next round of filming in Canada.
