Rosanna Pansino has claimed Jake Paul's controversial friend Armani Izadi was allegedly allowed to participate in MrBeast's Beast Games. For those unaware, the competition is a much-awaited collaboration between the popular YouTuber and Amazon Studios.
Rosanna Pansino has criticized Beast Games before, alleging that many participants had been injured during the filming process. In a post on August 18, she accused MrBeast and his team of negligence by claiming that a man named Armani Izadi, who has been charged with multiple crimes before, was allowed to participate in the event.
According to a report by Business Insider from 2020, Armani Izadi was a friend of Jake Paul's when the FBI raided their homes that year. Previously, Izadi had been charged with multiple counts of battery and kidnapping. Notably, Armani had pled guilty to charges of pimping in 2014.
Armani Izadi is a DJ who has over 150K subscribers on YouTube but has not uploaded any content on his main channel for over three years. His videos frequently featured his lavish house dubbed the Graffiti Mansion, and his channel still contains multiple collaborations with content creators such as Jake and Logan Paul.
"Why was there not adequate background checks": Rosanna Pansino calls out MrBeast and his team over Armani Izadi's supposed participation in Beast Games
Amid the various accusations that have been levied against MrBeast throughout the last few weeks by fellow YouTubers and former employees, Rosanna Pansino's latest allegation is that a criminal with a very shady past was allowed to participate in the first round of Beast Games.
Pansino claimed that she was contacted by at least five other participants who allegedly confirmed Armani Izadi was at the event and listed his criminal histories:
"I have received confirmation from 5 verified contestants that for the first round of Beast Games, a man named Armani Izadi was allowed to compete. He was previously charged with at least 20 counts for battery, kidnapping, pandering (pimping), and robbery. He pled guilty to the pimping charge, acknowledging the significant evidence against him."
She shared her outrage at the thought of such a person sleeping next to female participants at Beast Games, some of who were made to feel uncomfortable due to his presence:
"He allegedly also slept near female contestants before being kicked off set for inappropriate behavior. Some of the female contestants confirmed being very uncomfortable around him."
Pansino concluded her post by calling out MrBeast and the whole organizing team for not conducting background checks to weed out such participants:
"Why was there not adequate background checks to catch people like this?"
Rosanna Pansino has recently made several accusations against MrBeast. A few days ago she claimed to have come across a business document from the YouTuber's company, alleging sketchy hiring practices.
