Kris Tyson has recently been accused of sending inappropriate and sexual texts to a minor. The controversy has garnered a lot of traction on social media after screenshots of the alleged texts sent by the MrBeast crew member were shared by YouTuber Prism42 in a video titled Chris Tyson Talked Inappropriately to a 13-Year-Old about a month ago. Clips from the 10-minute-long video have been going viral on X after being shared by @DramaAlert.
Prism42's video claims that Kris Tyson met with a 13-year-old during a giveaway organized by MrBeast's team. Another YouTube video by Breone has also gone viral, containing a Discord screenshot of certain sexual jokes that were made by Kris Tyson and sent to the minor when he was 15 in 2019.
Related posts have garnered millions of impressions on X in just a couple of hours.
Allegations of pedophilia against Kris Tyson explored
In addition to claiming that Kris Tyson contacted the minor when he was 13 years old, Prism42's YouTube video also talked about the MrBeast member making problematic jokes directed at the kid on social media.
A particular screenshot from X, back when it was Twitter, has garnered significant backlash as Kris appears to be joking about sending nudes to the minor in the same.
The alleged post from Kris Tyson from 2018 reads:
"I posted some fire noods for you. Pls no share."
As mentioned, Prism42 is not the only YouTuber to bring forward allegations against Tyson. A video dated July 22 from Breone, titled Kris Tyson Got Caught Talking To A Minor.. ITS BAD, seems to be the reason why the accusations are finally attracting such a wide audience. The video has over half a million views within a day of it being posted online.
The 30-minute-long video contains several instances of Kris Tyson contacting the minor, with Breaone raising concerns over their interactions. A particularly relevant clip has garnered a lot of attention after it was shared by X user @FearedBuck, where a screenshot sent by the minor, who was 15 at the time, is being discussed.
The screenshot depicts a Discord message sent by the minor when he was 15 titled "I got a weird snap from Chris," and shows a Snap sent by Kris Tyson making an adult joke. Here is what Breone says about it in the YouTube video:
"Why in any context would you send something like that to somebody you most likely know is 15 years old while you are 22 years old. I have a feeling people are going to argue that this is a joke or something by Kris. Kris is a funny guy, he is the meme guy. But this right here is not a joke that you make to somebody who is seven years younger than you and to somebody who is a minor."
Readers should note that the minor in question, who is 20 now, has refuted these claims in a series of posts on X, where he absolved Kris Tyson of any blame. He also publicly claimed that he was not the victim in this scenario.
"Kris did nothing wrong. What’s actually disgusting is you guys twisting things and making me a victim," says the minor in a post.
Kris Tyson has yet to publicly address the situation on social media, and viewers expect MrBeast to also make a public statement about the issue now that it has become a widely discussed topic online.
