After making some bad jokes and other mistakes when he was younger, as an adult he has focused on engaging with the MrBeast community to work together on making a positive impact around the world.\u201d; <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; On his (ex-)colleague Ava Kris Tyson: He added that he was hiring an \u201cindependent third party to conduct a thorough investigation to ensure I have all the facts. That said, I\u2019ve 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.
