MrBeast has now come under fire for sexual comments he made about a child – days after his co-host quit social media in disgrace over grooming allegations.
A resurfaced clip from a podcast in 2017 shows MrBeast, 28, real name James Donaldson, saying ‘Let’s be real, you want to put your d*** in her’, when discussing a 14-year-old social media star.
The YouTube personality – who is the world’s most popular live streamer – appeared as a guest on the Hot Wet Soup, where he and three other male content creators were discussing Bhad Bhabie, who coined the phrase ‘Catch Me Ousside, How Bout Dah’ after appearing on Dr. Phil in 2016.
MrBeast was 19 at the time. He was then heard making comments about the young girl’s breast size.

The resurfaced clip comes hours after MrBeast fired his co-host and long-time friend Ava Kris Tyson, calling her behavior ‘unacceptable.’
Tyson, a transgender woman, had been accused of having an ‘inappropriate’ relationship with a minor starting when the child was 13.

DailyMail.com has reached out to MrBeast about his 2017 comments.
MrBeast has made fortunes from his YouTube channel that features extravagant stunts and philanthropic initiatives.
He began posting videos to YouTube in early 2012 at the age of 13 and has since grown the channel to 306 million subscribers. MrBeast has a net worth of around $700 million.
Hot Wet Soup was started in 2016 by Aaron Brown (BionicPIG), James Simons (LeonLush) and James Phillips (ElvistheAlien).
The last video uploaded to the YouTube channel was posted seven years ago.
The clip where MrBeast makes the inappropriate comments came from episode 26, titled ‘Clickbait Cast.’ It has since been removed, but a copy has been preserved on the Internet Archive.
The conversation about Bhad Bhabie began when one of the hosts mentioned another ‘enjoys the Catch Me Ousside girl and thinks she’s funny.’
MrBeast can be heard making lewd comments about the host wanting to have sex with the underage girl.
The content creator responded with: ‘Enjoying someone and putting your d**** in them are two different things.
‘I was hoping you’d say yes. Yea, I wouldn’t do that. She’s way too young,’ MrBeast replied.

MrBeast can then be heard commenting on her breasts.
‘I don’t think she’s 14, they’re too big to be 14,’ he said.
MrBeast has not commented on the 2017 podcast.
Simons, who was one of the hosts during the segment, shared a video on X to address the clip on Thursday?, which he began with ‘this was a long time ago in the beginning of our ‘YouTube journey’ when being edgy was a content strategy. Cringe at times, but those were the times.’
He also explained MrBeast said ‘Let’s say something out of context that people can take out of context’ before he made the comments about Bhad Bhabie.
Simons, however, also acknowledged a statement he made, ‘As long as there is no penetration, what’s age anyways right?’
James Simons, one of the three hosts of the podcast, released a video Thursday to ‘explain’ the what MrBeast said in 2017, noting ‘those were the times’
However, he also said, ‘Nah I’m just kidding’ shortly after making the comment.
‘Certainly it wasn’t my finest work,’ Simons added.
‘Were these jokes funny? I think that would be a stretch, but being unfunny seems like the worst offence here, in my opinion.
‘Was being edgy the best strategy? Certainly not, but it wasn’t uncommon strategy during the… time period.
Simons continued to explain that he believes the clip of MrBeast is ‘a mole hill turning into a mountain.’
‘But this is the internet, people are going to chatter. I just wanted to offer some incite from someone who was there,’ he concluded.
The clip of MrBeast comes less than 24 hours since he broke his silence about the allegations against Tyson, who was accused of sending ‘inappropriate’ messages to a then 13-year-old when she was 20.
‘Over the last few days, I’ve become aware of the serious allegations of Ava Tyson’s behavior online and I am disgusted and opposed to such unacceptable acts,’ the YouTuber shared.

At that time, Tyson was known to her YouTube fans as ‘Chris’ because she had not transitioned gender yet. Pictured is Tyson in 2019
‘During that time, I have been focused on hiring an independent third party to conduct a thorough investigation to ensure I have all the facts.
‘That said, I’ve seen enough online and taken immediate action to remove Ava from the company, my channel, and any association with MrBeast. I do not condone or support any of the inappropriate actions.
‘I will allow the independent investigators the necessary time to conduct a comprehensive investigation and will take any further actions based on their findings.’
Tyson is alleged to have formed a relationship with a minor when they were aged 13 and the pair are said to have been introduced after the child won an online competition.
At that time, Tyson was known to her YouTube fans as ‘Chris’ because she had not transitioned gender yet.
Tyson – who has a son with their ex-wife – is said to have spent years communicating with the fan on public online forums before meeting when the teen turned 16.
The fan, who is now an adult, says they are not a victim and has defended Tyson but has admitted some of the messages were ‘inappropriate’ and ‘edgy’.
Since the relationship was revealed in a series of expose-style videos and clips, several controversial posts by Tyson have resurfaced.

Multiple posts show Tyson interacting with ‘Shadman’, an artist known for drawing young characters in sexual poses.
In one post, Tyson begged Shadman to ‘draw a 10-year-old anime girl’. Other posts show Tyson sexualizing cartoon children.
The 28-year-old, who has appeared in MrBeast’s YouTube videos since he first launched his channel in 2012, said on X on Tuesday: ‘I would like to apologize for any of my past behaviour or comments if it hurt or offended anyone. It was not my intent.
‘Seeing recent events we’ve mutually decided its best I permanently step away from all things MrBeast and social media to focus on my family and mental health.
‘I wanted to add, I never groomed anyone’, she went on to say on the social media platform, noting that the person brought up in the accusations ‘has vocally supported they are false’.
‘Having said that, I humbly apologize to anyone I have hurt with my unacceptable social media posts, past actions, and those who may feel betrayed by how I used to act online.’
