Mr. Beast's PR Crisis and Allegations

Mr Beast is currently having a PR crisis that I haven't seen in so long and I am struggling to give him any sympathy after the new information that's come out as to how he's responding to the situation internally in case you don't know what I'm talking about there's been a few things that have transpired with Mr Beast recently that I want to talk about in this video but mainly I want to focus on the viral video released by dog pack 404 a former Mr Beast employee that has almost 10 million views at the time I'm recording this which details several things that the Mr Beast team has been doing over the past few years that range from Shady to possibly illegal this video has been widely received positively by the YouTube community and has left people questioning Mr BEAST's integrity and the future of his brand keep in mind this is all in the midst of the Chris Tyson pedophile expose that's been taking place where Mr BEAST's right-hand man well rightand something has been exposed drastically for inappropriate conversations with minors on Snapchat Discord and on top of all that enjoying literal drawn CP cheese pizza can't give you the real acronym but hey it must be [ __ ] stressful working at the Mr Beast compound right now like the sheen workers are like pH I mean hey at least I'm not working there you know the literal children who have all [ __ ] up hands from sewing garments for alt girls on Tik Tok to purchase for like $2 and they get paid in fortune cookies they're like well I mean at least I'm not in the Mr Beast compound I'm sure he's literally called for a [ __ ] code black ad Mr Beast HQ meaning nobody can leave all the cell service has been cut off there's been a [ __ ] invisible Dome around the HQ no one can leave there's literally no access to the outside world and they're plotting some World War III type strategy to revive their brand From the Ashes and if you think I'm exaggerating let's just take a look at the first real response because you kind of have to consider this as a response from the Mr Beast team to the recent criticism that's been levied against them by dog pack dog pack has come forward recently telling the world he's received a cease and assist letter from people representing the Mr Beast brand now since nothing has been said publicly about this video by Beast or anyone associated with him all you can do is take this cease and desist letter as some form of a response so this first cease and desist letter that dog pack received he actually showed me and told me about in our interview which you should go watch after this video but it was these people Maguire Woods LLP who represent his former employer Mr Beast writing to pressure the dude to shut the [ __ ] up by saying that it's specifically come to the company's attention that you have been among other things disclosing sensitive confidential and proprietary information regarding the company's business operations and content creation methodology in breach of your contractual and legal obligations to the company including the contractual post-employment obligations set forth by the confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement executed by you in your connection with your employment what we can see from the cease and toist letter is that the people representing Mr Beast are claiming that in dog Pack's video at some point throughout the video he showed something that would have been private information that he leaked and that specifically that would have violated some sort of clause he agreed to whether in an NDA or a confidentiality agreement when he'd been fired now having watched the video I'll tell you that the majority of the points dog pack made were done using publicly available content of Mr Beast when he's proving the point that for example Mr Beast fakes challenges by selecting contestants that he has a personal relationship with like Mac or his editor or people who work for him that's not private information if he just goes onto their LinkedIn and it says I I work at Mr Beast and then he finds them with their profile picture and cross references that from them in the video that's not leaking anything I found public record showing that Mac moved from California to Greenville North Carolina where Jimmy is located back in August 2023 2 months before he appeared as a contestant according to a former Mr Beast employee this is around the time when Mac started working full-time on the editing team at Mr Beast also he didn't just move into any old house he moved into a million-dollar Mansion now I'm not going to dox him only some [ __ ] would do something like that after doxing and bullying the pilot some more like a douchebag turns to Eric and says how do I fly this thing just starts pushing buttons but I did find pictures of this Mansion online so I fed them into chat GPT and asked it to create similar images and this is what it came up with and it's honestly not that far off his 6,000 ft million doll Mansion comes with a movie theater and seven bathrooms what are you going to spend the $800,000 on I mean my life's changed now yeah I'm sure that $800,000 is really going to change your life so many people had jobs oh that cont doesn't had to get out for her job I guess you forgot she's your hiring manager I actually recognize a lot of people in in this video including Jimmy's own girlfriend so yeah the random subscribers you see in challenges are actually never random they're almost always local to Mr Beast and often times friends and family of Mr Beast employees or just the employees themselves there were a few things in the video that were not public like the internal slack messages that had been sent to Mr Beast employees you know telling them to get their friends and family involved in the Mr Beast games but the point that that proves is the same point that he proves with publicly available information so I mean I guess it is a leak and like legally might he be you know vulnerable I suppose but [ __ ] man like I I just I think it's [ __ ] gay to go after him like this it's homosexual Mr Beast okay but anyway regardless of what dog pack may or may not have leaked about the company I will say I find the whole cease and desist thing in principle and in general to be a total like desperation move from the Beast team and it's like the exact opposite of everything the Mr Beast brand was built off of like their whole thing is like we're going to help these people make their way out of poverty these struggling people we going to hand this pizza guy $10,000 as a tip but then the same sort of random everyday person makes a video exposing you and instead of giving him $110,000 you use everything in your [ __ ] power to destroy his life and we'll get into how he's doing that beyond the cease and desist but before we do I just want to talk about the season assist a little bit more for how historically good Mr Beast has been at PR managing and perception management among his audience this is insanely brain dead I mean the whole David versus Goliath perception of the large YouTuber with a substantial following and resources targeting a much smaller Creator can come across as disproportionate and heavy-handed the perception may be that the larger party is using their power and influence to silence criticism which can be seen as bullying I mean you're literally the biggest YouTuber on the platform and you have YouTube giving you access to unreleased features that you know most YouTubers can't use like Mr Beast got AB thumbnail testing before every other YouTuber did and if you have no idea what that is that's fine but you know he also has like YouTube Originals where YouTube has I guess contracted him to make cont cont for the site or something I don't really know how it works but I know that YouTube contacted him and you know Co coales with him to make this piece of media and does this guy not know about the strian effect like when you draw attention to some small ass [ __ ] Channel I know the video is Big at this point with 10 million views but 10 million versus 200 million which is what Beast normally gets that is the stri an effect sending a cease and Tois letter can unintentionally amplify the video's reach and bring more attention to the criticism the attempt to suppress the content can backfire causing more people to become interested in the controversy and there's also the Optics of the reaction matching the validity of the claims like if Mr Beast is so threatened by what's being said in the video that he would go as far to send a cease and toist letter and implicitly lawyer the [ __ ] up for some sort of battle against this guy you have to imagine that you know he must be actually threatened by what's being said in the video if the video is not a serious threat to his reputation or career sending a legal threat can seem like an overreaction and it may give the impression that he's unable to handle criticism maturely or that he's like overly concerned on his Public Image kind of like how poke M sent a copyright strike to Bo blacks in order to get drama to die down but it inadvertently made the drama like even bigger and the truth is if any other YouTuber were doing this who was already widely disliked then the reaction would be so much harsher against Mr Beast like if Logan Paul for example had sent coffee Zilla a cease and desist people would be all over that they'd be devouring him suggesting he's uncapable uncapable is not a [ __ ] word incapable of handling criticism or that there's some validity to what coffeezilla is saying now with that out of the way I want to talk about a recent new cease and assist that dog pack has received and he posts on Twitter Dear Mr dog pack 404 this firm new firm whose quote white color criminal defense is second to none according to their website has recently been retained by Mr Beast YouTube LLC quote Mr Beast or the company and its founder Jimmy Donaldson regarding the unsettling news that you have embarked on a campaign to disparage Mr Beast as a company and defame Jimmy Donaldson as an individual not only are your statements about Mr Beast and Jimmy Donaldson untrue they also violate the clear binding and forceable terms of your confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement with Mr Beast dated March 25th 2024 the quote NDA agreement which you have shown in videos posted to the internet and he highlights this specific sentence here quoting your statements about Mr Beast and Jimmy Donaldson are untrue responding to that by saying then prove it you have all the footage but instead of posting any you've just been deleting more which is true one of the Facebook vods of [ __ ] what a recent VOD of a live stream where an alleged illegal Lottery takes place during a giveaway was deleted off of Facebook which is a little suspicious considering everything that's been happening recently but it goes on to say also my number got leaked apparently from a Mr Beast employee named Kaylee I've been receiving texts from quote former Mr Beast employees text I received last night claims that quote James wants to have private investigators start following me and looking into my family social media accounts to find ways to discredit me apparently the best narrative they have right now is that I'm a crazy drug addicted Mr Beast Super Fan that got fired for trying to to quote Steel company funds if this text is true I will say that at Mr Beast if you want to resort to personal attacks I'm happy to reciprocate or you know just address the evidence and here are some attached screenshots pause if you would like to read about what he's referring to this one I do want to read though it's interesting it says Dawson I'm texting you anonymously to let you know that I heard James wants to have private investigators start following you and looking into every detail of your life he wants them to reach out to your former employers find all your social media accounts your family's social media accounts videos of you anything they already have a Google doc listing possible ways to discredit you including you're on drugs and you have mental health problems your mom is bipolar you were an obsessed Super Fan you were crying begging for your job back after they fired you you tried to steal company funds Etc I don't know what's true and what's not but personally I really think you should just take everything down ASAP if you take it down they'll leave you alone and then he just got a bunch of texts from this person and uh yeah and then he responds to the drug use accusations saying to be clear because some people can't tell when I'm joking I have never been a drug user weed makes me anxious I tried micro doing shrooms for depression SL anxiety for a week over 3 months ago honestly the taste just made me so sick I stopped wouldn't recommend anyone to use illicit drugs but I'd consider myself an advocate for psychedelic research don't really care to filter everything I say through lawyers and PR people sometimes I say dumb [ __ ] but my video is well researched I'd obviously rather Mr Beast just focus on disproving the evidence than trying to publicly destroy my character with baseless drug use and mental health accusations but it appears that's the only option they have quote I literally smoked 500 cigarettes before writing this this guy really just said [ __ ] the Optics he said put a condom in your ear and [ __ ] what you heard about me and I got to say I love just the complete antithesis to PR speak just the straight up [ __ ] you raw unfiltered speaking he just doesn't care although this could not even be written off as a joke in court like the Mr Beast team could be like oh this is obviously an indictment of his mental faculties as he's a drug User it's still hilarious and I got to give the guys props now in terms of what he's saying here I don't think that him writing I've never been a drug user but then two sent not even a sentence later he writes I tried micro doing shrooms for a week maybe not the best look I mean I don't think he's a drug user like in the sense that he's on the streets of Kensington trying to get a [ __ ] fix of Tran and is nodding off constantly but Micro doing shrooms you know if I'm the Mr Beast team I'm going to use that against you and I don't know I mean obviously I wish the guy the best but maybe I would have like off you skated that a little bit and then someone writes well what about stealing company funds and then he says probably this I asked for the gas reimbursements I was promised and was denied because it quote wasn't an approved business expense it was and I should have just taken the plane I've heard multiple stories from former Mr be's employees not getting promised reimbursements anyways after I had sent a business expense request for an apple Vision Pro which I was told the company wanted to get everyone this is when they were new and it didn't seem like garbage I sent a request to the wrong person even though it was a person HR told me to send it to it never got purchased and even if it had it would have been owned by the company so I really don't see any legit narrative that I tried to stealy funds as if I was some embezzling Mastermind and not just a dude with a $100 limit on his company card so that is dog Pack's response to everything on Twitter regarding the new cease and assist that he received and this interaction that he's had with apparently people who got his number somehow and claimed to be Mr Beast employees that are telling him to play it safe and delete everything
