Jimmy Donaldson, the popular YouTube video maker who goes by MrBeast, in a sideline box at the start of an MLS soccer match between Inter Miami and CF Montreal on March 10 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.MrBeast is accused of creating “unsafe” employment conditions, including sexual harassment, and misrepresenting contestants’ odds at winning his new Amazon.com Inc. – whose “work on the show was the entertainment product” sold by MrBeast.
But its initial Las Vegas shoot began facing criticism before it even wrapped. Donaldson’s companies cast 2,000 people in an initial tryout this July where half could advance to the actual show’s filming in Toronto. The filing alleges that production staff created a “toxic” work environment for women who faced “sexual harassment” throughout the contest. Those sections are heavily redacted in an effort to comply with “confidentiality provisions” signed by the competitors, according to a press release from their lawyers.
