MrBeast is one of the first to come to mind for many YouTube viewers when considering the site\u2019s most popular content creators. Having enjoyed recent success with his very own restaurant chain, MrBeast Burger, it seems that Donaldson is truly on top of the world. However, claims from his critics and former editors are threatening to darken his otherwise pristine image. The YouTuber has come under fire as of late after viewers took issue with some of his older content, in which the star uses homophobic slurs. A recent report from the New York Times\u2019 Taylor Lorenz contains interviews with some of Donaldson\u2019s past editors, who claim that they were bullied by the YouTube star while they were under his employment. 22-year old Nate Anderson, who edited for MrBeast in March 2018, quit after just a week of work, claiming that Donaldson was a \u201cperfectionist\u201d who made \u201cunreasonable demands.\u201d \u201cNothing ever worked for him,\u201d Anderson stated. \u201cHe always wanted it a certain way.\u201d Anderson made further claims about the situation in a now-deleted YouTube video, in which he said that he\u2019d allegedly received death threats and hateful comments from MrBeast\u2019s fanbase as a result of his assertions. Anderson isn\u2019t the first to have spoken out about a toxic work environment while editing for MrBeast; in October 2019, former editor Matt \u201cTurnur\u201d Turner made a series of similar claims against the YouTuber, many of which have since been scrubbed from social media \u2014 one of which accused the influencer of using a slur against him meant to insult those with mental disabilities. While MrBeast has yet to respond to these latest accusations, the star purportedly got on a phone call with Drama Alert\u2019s KEEMSTAR to discuss Turner\u2019s claims in 2019, allegedly stating that he\u2019d given the editor a $10,000 severance payment and had even helped him nab another job at SoaR Gaming. For now, fans are lying in wait for MrBeast to address the newest claims against him in the aftermath of names like Karl Jacobs and Disguised Toast being called out for their own past content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MrBeast accused of bullying by former employees YouTube: MrBeastJimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson is a huge YouTube star, best known for his charitable giveaways and over-the-top challenge videos \u2014 but his popularity is being contested by accusations from his former employees.
