Sexual Harassment Allegations in MrBeast's Reality Show

A lawsuit has been filed against MrBeast, accusing him of creating "unsafe" employment conditions, including sexual harassment, on the set of his new Amazon reality show.

• Five unnamed contestants have filed the lawsuit, alleging a "toxic" work environment for women who faced sexual harassment throughout the contest.
• The lawsuit claims that MrBeast's company failed to provide minimum wages, overtime pay, uninterrupted meal breaks, and rest time for the contestants.
• The contestants allege that the production staff created an environment that endangered their health due to "limited sustenance" and "insufficient medical staffing."

Misrepresentation of Winning Odds in "Beast Games"

The lawsuit alleges that MrBeast misrepresented the contestants' odds of winning the $5 million grand prize in his reality show "Beast Games."

• Contestants were initially told that 1,000 people would advance to the actual show's filming in Toronto.
• However, upon arrival in Las Vegas, they learned that the pool surpassed 1,000 competitors, significantly reducing their chances of victory.
• The lawsuit argues that this "false advertising" violated California business laws that prohibit misrepresenting the odds of winning prizes.

Employment Status and Tax Credit Accusations

The lawsuit also accuses MrBeast's team of "knowingly misclassified" the contestants' employment status to the Nevada Film Commission in order to receive a state tax credit worth over $2 million.

• The contestants seek an order that MrBeast institute "workplace reforms" and awards "all wages owed."
• The lawsuit alleges that the contestants' "work on the show was the entertainment product" sold by MrBeast.

MrBeast's Response and Future Plans

MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, declined to comment on the new lawsuit.

• Last month, amid several public relations crises, Donaldson ordered a full assessment of his YouTube empire's internal culture and outlined plans for company-wide sensitivity training.
• No more details have been divulged, and no date has been publicized for the release of the "Beast Games" reality show.
