The shakeup comes as MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, deals with accusations of impropriety against himself and others within his multimillion-dollar production company that have threatened his family-friendly image. A lawyer who led the probe says investigators only identified several isolated instances of workplace harassment and misconduct. Controversies began swirling this summer. A friend lof Donaldson’s left his channel in July amid accusations she shared inappropriate sexual messages with minors. Also circulated online was recording of Donaldson making racist comments.
