accused of grooming a minor has concluded and the YouTube star is sharing the results.On Friday, MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, 26, posted the findings sent to him by Alex Spiro of the law firm Quinn Emanuel, an outside attorney Donaldson hired to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct happening at his company.“A three-month investigation into allegations regarding my company has concluded.

The lawfirm/investigators reviewed millions of documents/messages and conducted 39 interviews,” MrBeast wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “I was asked to refrain from making public statements to enable a detailed and unbiased investigation.

Below are their conclusions.”In the letter shared by MrBeast dated Nov. 1, Spiro addressed not only the allegations that arose after MrBeast’s former co-host Ava Tyson, 28, was accused of sending inappropriate messages to a then-13-year-old when she was 20, but also claims made by one of Donaldson’s former employees that the YouTube phenom knowingly hired registered sex offenders.

The Quinn Emanuel’s investigation, which was commissioned in late July and cost “millions” of dollars, according to sources, found no evidence that either allegation held merit. “Allegations of sexual misconduct (e.g., pedophilia, grooming, child pornography, etc.) between Company employees and minors are without basis,” Spiro stated in his letter. “The allegations were soundly rejected, including by alleged victims.”Spiro also wrote that “allegations of the Company knowingly employing individuals with proclivities or histories towards illegal or questionable legal conduct are similarly without basis.”The scope of the internal probe stretched beyond just the public allegations made against MrBeast.
