Mr. Beast sued by contestants on Amazon show –

YouTube influencer and content creator Mr. Beast has been sued by contestants for his reality show at Amazon, Beast Games. The series had a huge top prize, but some of the contestants have reported terrible conditions while on set, with allegations of chronic mistreatment, failure to pay minimum wage and failure to prevent sexual harassment.

“Several participants ended up in the hospital, while others reported experiencing physical and mental complications while subjected to chronic abuse, humiliation and, for the female participants, hostile working conditions.” reads the court document (via Variety).

One of the female participants, who has remained anonymous, wrote the following: “I wanted to participate because I was a fan of MrBeast and his videos made me smile during the COVID-19 pandemic. I expected to be challenged, but I didn’t think I would be treated like nothing – less than nothing. And as one of the women, I can say that it definitely felt like a hostile environment for us. We honestly couldn’t have been less respected – as people, let alone employees – if they tried.”

At the time of writing, Mr. Beast and representatives of Amazon MGM have not yet responded to the lawsuit, but we will have to see what the future of Beast Games looks like if the production is as hellish as alleged.
