MrBeast is now under fire for sexual comments he made about a child, just days after his co-host stepped down from social media in shame amid grooming allegations.
In a resurfaced clip from a 2017 podcast, MrBeast, 28, whose real name is James Donaldson, says, “Let’s face it, you want to stick your dick in her,” while talking about a 14-year-old social media star.
The YouTube personality, who is the world’s most popular livestreamer, was a guest on Hot Wet Soup, where he and three other male content creators discussed Bhad Bhabie, who coined the phrase “Catch Me Ousside, How Bout Dah” after appearing on Dr. Phil in 2016.
MrBeast was 19 at the time. He was heard making comments about the young girl’s breast size.

The resurfaced clip came just hours after MrBeast fired his co-host and close friend Ava Kris Tyson, calling her behavior “unacceptable.”
Tyson, 28, a transgender woman, was accused of having an “inappropriate” relationship with a minor, beginning when the child was 13.
DailyMail.com has contacted MrBeast regarding his 2017 comments.
MrBeast has made a fortune from his YouTube channel with extravagant stunts and philanthropic initiatives.
He started posting videos on YouTube in early 2012 at the age of 13 and has since grown the channel to 306 million subscribers. MrBeast has a net worth of approximately $700 million.
Hot Wet Soup was founded in 2016 by Aaron Brown (BionicPIG), James Simons (LeonLush) and James Phillips (ElvistheAlien).
The last video uploaded to the YouTube channel was posted seven years ago.
The clip where MrBeast makes the inappropriate comments is from episode 26 and is called ‘Clickbait Cast’. The clip has since been removed, but a copy has been preserved on the Internet Archive.
The conversation about Bhad Bhabie started when One of the presenters said that another ‘enjoys the Catch Me Ousside girl and finds her funny.’
MrBeast can be heard making obscene comments about the presenter, who wants to have sex with the underage girl.
The content creator responded with: ‘Enjoying someone and putting your dick in them are two different things.
“I was hoping you’d say yes. Yeah, I wouldn’t do that. She’s way too young,” MrBeast replied.
MrBeast was 19 at the time. He was heard making comments about the young girl’s breast size. MrBeast is pictured in March 2024

“I don’t think she’s 14, they’re too big to be 14,” he said.
MrBeast has not yet commented on the 2017 podcast.
Simons, who was one of the presenters during the segment, shared a video on X to discuss Thursday’s clip?, which he began with, “This was way back in the beginning of our ‘YouTube journey’ when being edgy was a content strategy. Sometimes it was hesitant, but those were the days.”
He also explained that MrBeast said, “Let’s take something out of context so people can take it out of context,” before making his comments about Bhad Bhabie.
However, Simons also acknowledged a statement of his: ‘As long as there is no penetration, what is age, right?’
James Simons, one of the podcast’s three hosts, released a video on Thursday to explain what MrBeast said in 2017, noting that “those were the days”
But shortly after his comment he also said, “No, I’m just joking.”
“It certainly wasn’t my best work,” Simons added.
‘Were these jokes funny? I think that’s a bridge too far, but not being funny seems to me to be the worst insult here, in my opinion.
‘Was being edgy the best strategy? Certainly not, but it was not an uncommon strategy in the… time.
Simons further explained that he considers MrBeast’s clip to be “a molehill turning into a mountain.”
“But this is the internet, people are going to chat. I just wanted to give some stimulus from someone who was there,” he concluded.
MrBeast’s clip was made less than 24 hours after he broke his silence on the allegations against Tyson, who was accused of sending “inappropriate” messages to a then-13-year-old girl when she was 20.
“Over the past few days, I have become aware of serious allegations regarding Ava Tyson’s online behavior. I am disgusted and stand against such unacceptable actions,” the YouTuber said.
MrBeast’s clip emerged less than 24 hours after he broke his silence on the allegations against Tyson, who was accused of sending “inappropriate” messages to a then-13-year-old girl when she was 20.
At the time, Tyson was known to her YouTube fans as “Chris” because she had not yet transitioned. The photo shows Tyson in 2019
‘During that time, my primary focus has been on hiring an independent third party to conduct a thorough investigation so that I could be sure I had all the facts.
“That being said, I have seen enough online and have taken immediate action to remove Ava from the company, my channel, and any association with MrBeast. I do not condone or support any of the inappropriate actions.
“I will give the independent investigators the necessary time to conduct a comprehensive investigation and will take further action based on their findings.”
Tyson is said to have entered into a relationship with a minor at the age of 13. The two were reportedly introduced after the child won an online competition.
At the time, Tyson was known to her YouTube fans as “Chris” because she had not yet transitioned.
Tyson, who has a son with his ex-wife, is said to have communicated with the fan for years through public online forums before they met when the teen turned 16.
The fan, now an adult, says he is not a victim and has defended Tyson, although he has admitted that some of the messages were “inappropriate” and “edgy.”
Since the relationship was revealed in a series of revealing videos and clips, several controversial posts from Tyson have surfaced.
Tyson transitioned in 2023. She apologized this week and has temporarily taken a break from YouTube.
Several photos show Tyson interacting with “Shadman,” an artist known for drawing young characters in sexual poses.
In one post, Tyson begged Shadman to “draw a 10-year-old anime girl.” Other posts show Tyson sexualizing cartoon children.
The 28-year-old, who has appeared in MrBeast’s YouTube videos since launching his channel in 2012, said on X on Tuesday: “I want to apologize for my past behavior or comments if it hurt or offended anyone. That was not my intention.
‘After recent events, we have mutually decided that it is best to permanently step away from MrBeast and social media so that I can focus on my family and my mental health.
“I would also like to add that I have never manipulated anyone,” she said on the social media platform, noting that the person named in the allegations “has been vocal in stating that they are false.”
“That said, I humbly apologize to anyone I have hurt with my unacceptable social media posts, my past actions, and to those who feel betrayed by the way I have behaved online.”
