YouTube sensation MrBeast, known for his larger-than-life stunts and charitable acts, is facing serious allegations from contestants of his upcoming Prime Video reality competition show, Beast Games.
Five contestants have filed a lawsuit against MrBeast, Amazon, and the production company, Off One’s Base, citing “inhumane” conditions during the show’s filming.
The lawsuit claims contestants experienced severe mistreatment, including inadequate food, sleep deprivation, lack of medical care, and limited access to hygiene products. Additionally, the complaint alleges the creation of a hostile work environment for female participants, with accusations of sexual harassment and emotional distress. Contestants claim the show’s conditions led to hospitalizations and other physical and mental health issues.
Beast Games, promoted as “the biggest reality competition ever,” promised a $5 million prize for the winner, but participants allege they were not paid minimum wage and were asked to reimburse production costs. As of now, neither MrBeast nor Amazon has publicly responded to the allegations.
This lawsuit is gaining attention as it sheds light on the extreme conditions behind the scenes of reality shows, raising questions about the treatment of contestants and the ethics of such productions.
