Youtuber Streamer MrBeast Reality Series 'Beast Games' Under Fire For Abusing Participants
A damning New York Times investigation into a reality series produced by YouTube star MrBeast in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios paints an extremely negative picture of what the contestants went through.
The show, called Beast Games, brought thousands of people to Las Vegas to participate in various stunts, all for a chance to win a $5 million grand prize. Filming for the competition began in July, with 2,000 contestants gathering for several days at Allegiant Stadium in Nevada. Contestants ate, slept and lived in the stadium.
The Times story is the latest blow to MrBeast's empire, which has come under fire over alleged manipulation of a minor by a co-host and comments MrBeast himself made in a podcast when he was younger.
