The Post Millennial Reports: YouTuber Mr. Beast's trans sidekick "Ava" Kris Tyson apologized on Tuesday for recent controversy after being accused of grooming a 13-year-old boy. Tyson had been with the multi-million dollar channel since it was created in 2012.

"I would like to apologize for any of my past behavior or comments if it hurt or offended anyone," Tyson said. "It was not my intent. Seeing recent events we’ve mutually decided it’s best I permanently step away from all things MrBeast and social media to focus on my family and mental health." Tyson is a father of one and separated from his wife after he came out as trans.

Reports emerged on Monday that Tyson communicated with a 13-year-old boy when Tyson was a 20-year-old man. The report from YouTube account Prism42 cites posts from X users in asserting that Tyson had made these communications and that the two "joked" about sending nudes. As allegations swirled, Tyson deleted all his posts on X.

"Kris Tyson reached out to this guy when he was 13-years-old" and Tyson was 20. Essentially, Tyson was making friends with a middle-schooler. They communicated one-on-one and also without supervision and they were connected on multiple platforms, including Snapchat. Their "friendship" began after LavaGS won a Mr. Beast challenge.
