Ava Kris Tyson[1] (/ˈeɪvə/ AY-və; born Chris Tyson; July 1, 1996), formerly Kris Tyson, is an American YouTuber and online personality. She rose to online fame for being a longtime original member of the MrBeast crew, appearing in most of his videos.

Early life and personal life[edit]

Tyson was born on July 1, 1996.[2] Tyson married Katie Tyson in 2018. The two had a son named Tucker in 2020.[3] Tyson later confirmed in a social media post in early 2023 that they had separated.[4] In November 2020, Tyson publicly came out as bisexual via Twitter.[3]

Tyson officially came out as a trans woman during an interview with Anthony Padilla, published on YouTube on July 21, 2023.[5][6]

Career[edit]

Tyson was a childhood friend of Jimmy Donaldson, appearing in many early videos on Donaldson's MrBeast YouTube channel since 2015.[7] As the channel grew, Tyson was hired by Donaldson to further contribute to the growth of the channel.[8]

Tyson appeared in many of MrBeast's viral YouTube videos such as $456,000 Squid Game in Real Life!, Last To Leave Circle Wins $500,000, and $1 vs $500,000 Plane Ticket, which was where fans began to point out Tyson's more feminine appearance than in previous videos.[9] Rumors of Tyson's change in gender began to surface as Tyson's appearance began to shift to a more feminine appearance. In early 2023, Tyson publicized her beginning hormone replacement therapy on her social media accounts, while changing her displayed pronouns to "any" on Twitter.[10] These actions prompted criticism from Australian YouTube personality Lachlan Windross, best known by his online alias SunnyV2. This led Donaldson to react on Twitter, denouncing Windross' claims that Tyson's increasingly feminine persona would harm his brand.[9][11]

Allegations[edit]

In July 2024, allegations of sexual misconduct with multiple minors and pressuring a former employee into doing sexual acts had surfaced against Tyson.[12][13] Upon the allegations gaining widespread attention in late July, Tyson announced her "mutually decided" permanent departure from MrBeast on July 23 in a Twitter post;[14] however, Donaldson issued a statement the following day, stating that Tyson had instead been fired, saying he was "disgusted and opposed to such unacceptable acts," further adding that he was in the process of hiring a private investigator.[15][16][17] One of the alleged victims initially denied the allegations, stating via Twitter that their interactions included nothing more than "a few edgy jokes," and that circulating videos about the situation were "twisting the truth."[18][19][20] He later rescinded the statement and said that the conversations were inappropriate for his age and acknowledged that he was a minor who did not recognize the wrongdoing at the time.[21]
