Controversies don't seem to leave Jimmy ‘MrBeast' Donaldson behind. The biggest YouTuber on the platform has been accused of lying and editing out the only female YouTuber in Creator Games 3, which was a $1 million competition held in 2021.
What Happened: Rosanna Pansino, a YouTuber with 14.5 million subscribers, has accused MrBeast of lying and editing her out of the top three in the $1 million Creator Games 3 competition.
Pansino, who also participated in Creator Games 1 and 2, came out with the allegations on X (formerly Twitter).
"After filming had wrapped, I truly couldn't believe how well I did at the competition and was proud of what I had achieved. I had (sic) placed third," Pansino said.
However, she says that she was made to look worse than she performed by MrBeast. She accused him of editing the video to make her look bad.
"He edited the video to look like the final 3 people were Larray, Logan Paul, and Zack King. The final 3 people were actually Zack, Quackity, and myself," she added.
Pansino explained the chronology of events that transpired during the Hide and Seek game at the SoFi Stadium.
"This was extra upsetting because I genuinely believed him when he said that his videos are "authentic and real"," she said, expressing her disappointment.
Why It Matters: MrBeast is the biggest individual YouTuber on the platform. Known for giving away huge amounts of cash and running elaborate contests, among other things, he has been at the center of several controversies.
In 2018, he was accused of using homophobic slurs on his streams. A few years later, a former MrBeast editor claimed that the workplace was toxic, with Jimmy being accused of berating the editor and having "unreasonable demands".
For now, though, in the case of Pansino, we will have to wait for a response from MrBeast.
