Jimmy Donaldson has the most popular YouTube channel ever. You probably know him by his channel name, MrBeast.

Donaldson’s YouTube videos often involve challenges with big prizes, so it seemed like a natural progression for him to get the opportunity to host a reality game show off YouTube.

Donaldson’s reality competition show called the Beast Games were produced over the summer. The winner would get a whooping $5 million. Unfortunately, many contestants have now come forward to share problems that occurred on set.

YouTuber Rosanna Pansino has previously shared that Donaldson isn’t the same person in real life as he is in his videos. Now, she is also creating a safe space where contestants of the Beast Games can share the issues they had during the competition. She claims that over 200 contestants have already reached out to her.

In addition, five of the contestants have filed a lawsuit against MrBeast. According to The Guardian, contestants claim the contest lied about the odds of winning by not disclosing the correct number of contestants. In addition, in the lawsuit, the contestants claim that they received “limited sustenance” as well as “insufficient medical staffing.” They describe the work environment as “toxic” and also claim they experienced “sexual harassment.”

Contestants told Pansino that some of them were trampled during the competition, and some contestants even left the games on stretchers.

According to a contestant who spoke to NBC News, the problems at the Beast Games weren’t all Donaldson’s fault. He claims that Donaldson was mad that the contestants didn’t have access to food and water.

Watch the video below to learn more about the controversy surrounding the Beast Games and to hear about Pansino’s personal experience of working with MrBeast.
