Speaker A

There are nine MrBeast crew members who have either been publicly fired or have disappeared without explanation, and we're going to talk about all of them. Beginning with Matt Turner, who had one of the more controversial endings to his time working with MrBeast.

Speaker A

time working with Mr Beast Matt Turner was initially hired as an editor for Mr Beast back in 2018 yet only 5 months after getting hired Matt would upload a video to his personal Channel titled why I quit working for Mr Beast in which he'

Speaker A

Matt Turner was initially hired as an editor for MrBeast back in 2018, yet only five months after getting hired, Matt would upload a video to his personal channel titled "Why I Quit Working for MrBeast," in which he explained that he was no longer on the team.

Speaker A

day Mr Beast paid for my rent every month when I lived in North Carolina me and Mr Beast I still consider friends never got in any fights no one did anything wrong in this situation if you're watching this Mr Beast I love you

Speaker A

Matt would then go on to praise MrBeast, talking about how much he enjoyed the job. This was a dream job for so long. Going to work was a blast each and every day. MrBeast paid for my rent every month when I lived in North Carolina. Me and MrBeast, I still consider friends. Never got in any fights. No one did anything wrong in this situation. If you're watching this, MrBeast, I love you, bro.

Speaker A

Mr Beast but I will say that it was the most mentally draining time of my life I was yelled at bullied and called replaceable by Mr Beast every day being in tears and having mental breakdowns day after day is difficult and after a

Speaker A

However, despite ending his message by stating that he loved MrBeast, approximately one year and two months later, Matt Turner would take to Twitter stating the following: "I'm not going to make a video about my time editing for MrBeast, but I will say that it was the most mentally draining time of my life. I was yelled at, bullied, and called replaceable by MrBeast every day. Being in tears and having mental breakdowns day after day is difficult, and after a while, it became too much. After every editing mistake I made, I was made to feel like an absolute idiot. So that's a summary of almost every day on the team. That's what it was like to work for MrBeast, and that is why I don't work there now."

Speaker A

Beast and that is why I don't work there now while Matt might have thought that his mbased call out would command a bunch of respect and sympathy the opposite of this happened and everyone instead began to stick up for Mr Beast I

Speaker A

While Matt might have thought that his MrBeast call-out would command a bunch of respect and sympathy, the opposite of this happened, and everyone instead began to stick up for MrBeast.

Speaker A

him I think the bullying is just over exaggerated so basically Mr Beast editor is a kid who hasn't experienced the real working world so throws a tantrum and starts slamming Mr Beast with unsupported allegations the moment it gets tough kids these days bro this was

Speaker A

I think people are jumping to conclusions with this MrBeast stuff. If this editor really, really was harassed like that, wouldn't he have spoken up sooner? He's one of the most famous YouTubers, so it would have been easier to start accusing him. I think the bullying is just over-exaggerated.

Speaker A

he actually left he uploaded a video saying it was the greatest time of his life whilst others came forward stating that they had a great time working with Mr Beast I've known Mr Beast for over 3 years now and I was helping him with

Speaker A

So basically, MrBeast's editor is a kid who hasn't experienced the real working world, so throws a tantrum and starts slamming MrBeast with unsupported allegations the moment it gets tough. Kids these days, bro. This was one year ago. Why are you coming at him now?

Speaker A

he loved working for him and Mr B seemed like a really cool genuine guy things became even worse for Matt after Mr Beast had a phone call with kstar and what Mr Beast told me is basically like when they fired him or whatever they

Speaker A

Keemstar would point out the most obvious flaw with Matt's Twitter thread. I just find it very strange that he's coming out saying all this negative stuff about MrBeast when a year ago, when he actually left, he uploaded a video saying it was the greatest time of his life.

Speaker A

van life videos one of which including a pretty weak apology to miss based if anyone was offended by me saying that that wasn't the best experience well then I do apologize the whole ordal being summarized by YouTuber prison mate

Speaker A

Whilst others came forward stating that they had a great time working with MrBeast. I've known MrBeast for over three years now, and I was helping him with graphics for his channel. I don't even have one experience of him being mean or disgruntled to me in any way. He was always very kind and very nice, which was once again echoed by Keemstar.

Speaker A

fact that you're just the guy that lied about Mr Beast however Matt Turner wasn't the only person to try and expose Mr Beast before having it backfire terribly back in 2018 fly does YT uploaded a video titled my experience

Speaker A

I talked to one of his employees, and he seemed like he loved working for him, and MrBeast seemed like a really cool, genuine guy. Things became even worse for Matt after MrBeast had a phone call with Keemstar, and what MrBeast told me is basically like when they fired him or whatever, they gave him $10,000 and they got him a job at Sword.

Speaker A

channel you should you know you you we we'll go film your video without you that no that's cool yeah the claims were so outrageous that Mr Beast himself took to Twitter before stating if you think I'm faking my videos then ask the

Speaker A

Shortly thereafter, Matt deleted the tweets and was even brave enough to claim that his Twitter had been hacked. Despite basically being laughed off the internet, Matt Turner continues to upload van life videos, one of which included a pretty weak apology to MrBeast.

Speaker A

who said I did not give them any money these tweets were followed by Mr Beast appearing on drama alert where he'd explain the situation from his perspective I pay for his plane ticket his Uber his hotel for a week his Uber

Speaker A

If anyone was offended by me saying that that wasn't the best experience, well then I do apologize. The whole ordeal being summarized by YouTuber Prison Mate Luke: What did you gain from it, really? A little bit of clout from the beginning. You destroyed any chance of you having an actual YouTube career, and all of those views went away immediately.

Speaker A

these issues quote unquote but he doesn't say any of them to me while he's here he doesn't talk to me while he's here he just bundles it all up so he can make this 25 minute video and blow

Speaker A

And now you're just forever tainted with the fact that you're just the guy that lied about MrBeast. However, Matt Turner wasn't the only person to try and expose MrBeast before having it backfire terribly. Back in 2018, Fly Does YT uploaded a video titled "My Experience Editing for MrBeast: Worst Week of My Life," in which he'd foolishly accused MrBeast of faking the content before going on to make the bizarre point that MrBeast didn't even appear in the videos.

Speaker A

streamers $30,000 it's just slander from his part well was providing an explanation for why he wasn't able to fully appear in one of the videos I have pron disease most of you don't know what it is it was really acting up so I said

Speaker A

When you make a YouTube video for your channel, you should, you know, we, we'll go film your video without you. That, no, that's cool. Yeah. The claims were so outrageous that MrBeast himself took to Twitter before stating, "If you think I'm faking my videos, then ask the streamer to whom I gave hundreds of thousands of dollars when they get them. Go and ask somebody who got part of the $500,000 that I gave away this year when they got it. You will not find a person who said I did not give them any money."

Speaker A

man you're trying to pin the fact that I have an illness on me like I'm not public about this type of stuff which once again prompted a former employee to come out stating as someone who is friends with both Mr Beast and fly it is

Speaker A

These tweets were followed by MrBeast appearing on Drama Alert, where he'd explain the situation from his perspective. I pay for his plane ticket, his Uber, his hotel for a week, his Uber, and his plane ticket, which he made a 25-minute quote-unquote exposing video on me but doesn't mention that I spent thousands of dollars getting him here, paid him $750 for like five days' worth of work, which is really good pay.

Speaker A

able to show that a peaceful ending with Mr Beast is always the most beneficial path Jake appeared on the Mr Beast channel for the first time back in June 2018 as Jimmy required a strong character to include within the videos

Speaker A

He has all these issues, quote-unquote, but he doesn't say any of them to me while he's here. He doesn't talk to me while he's here. He just bundles it all up so he can make this 25-minute video and blow everything out of proportion when he gets home.

Speaker A

however by early 2020 the content became less focused on physical challenges and as a result Jake began to appear in fewer and fewer videos he'd be seen one last time in $60,000 extreme hide-and-seek challenge which was followed by a comment to Jake's Tik Tok

Speaker A

Before going on to absolutely destroy the claims that his videos were fake: My videos aren't fake. Like, I counted to 100,000. I watched Dance to Your Dead for, you know, whatever. I give streamers $30,000. It's just slander from his part.

Speaker A

explained why he had been let go and it came down to my piece no longer fit the puzzle if that that's that's the best way to put it before discussing how he wanted to leave anyway so he could

Speaker A

Well, I was providing an explanation for why he wasn't able to fully appear in one of the videos. I have Crohn's disease. Most of you don't know what it is. It was really acting up, so I said, "Hey, you guys go film the rest of the video. I want to go nap. I got to take it easy."

Speaker A

have any type of falling out you know so everything's cool Mr B still love you bro basically he got tired of being an employee he wanted to start his own brand be his own boss do his own thing

Speaker A

Now he's making an exposed video like, "Oh, MrBeast doesn't film his own videos." Like, what are you going on about, man? You're trying to pin the fact that I have an illness on me, like I'm not public about this type of stuff.

Speaker A

team having gained over a million subscribers on YouTube and over 2 and A2 million followers on Tik Tok however Jake the Viking wasn't the only person who eventually ran out of utility on the Mr Beast team for example whatever

Speaker A

Which once again prompted a former employee to come out stating, "As someone who is friends with both MrBeast and Fly, it is my unbiased opinion that Fly is in the wrong."

Speaker A

he needs to be in more challenges he was able to return to the channel and then this is Ty from the serial videos you guys really liked him so we brought him back appearing in a total of seven

Speaker A

Unlike Matt Turner, Fly has since had a relatively successful career, having built a channel with over 300,000 subscribers. Yet he hasn't been nearly as successful as Jake the Viking, who's been able to show that a peaceful ending with MrBeast is always the most beneficial path.

Speaker A

mostly behind the scenes Ty since become a father and still maintains an Instagram following of over 28,000 and a Tik Tok following of over 8,000 on which he uploads music comedy and dancing videos Tyler Conlin was another Mr Beast

Speaker A

Jake appeared on the MrBeast channel for the first time back in June 2018, as Jimmy required a strong character to include within the videos.

Speaker A

only 18,000 subscribers from here Tyler was reaching in videos such as we are better than Dude Perfect which was followed by Tyler helping out Jimmy's brother yet Tyler's final obvious appearance on the Mr bease channel was in I opened a restaurant that pays you

Speaker A

"Can you dip this in the water tank for me? It's like, it's really heavy, but you're like a big boy."

Speaker A

was obviously just a meme for the video it actually would become Tyler's final official appearance on the Mr base Channel honest question after you suggested making people pay for the food in the restaurant video and Jimmy kicked you out you were never in another video

Speaker A

At this point in time, the content was often quite physical, and therefore having Jake as a member of the team worked out perfectly.

Speaker A

and when you combine this information with his Instagram on which he's often still seen with the crew it's clear that Tyler hasn't been fired but is rather working from behind the scenes Garrett eventually met a similar fate he was

Speaker A

However, by early 2020, the content became less focused on physical challenges, and as a result, Jake began to appear in fewer and fewer videos.

Speaker A

however as Mr bro began to upload fewer and fewer videos Garrett also began to disappear from the internet according to a reply on his Instagram Garrett helps with Social Media stuff now although he hasn't uploaded a Tik Tok or Instagram

Speaker A

He'd be seen one last time in the $60,000 Extreme Hide-and-Seek Challenge, which was followed by a comment to Jake's TikTok two months later asking, "Are you still working with MrBeast?" to which he'd respond, "L N, they fired me."

Speaker A

from a distance however it does seem as though their relationship simply ran its course and eventually fizzled out but what about Jake wed he was another one of these guys who once featured in almost every Mr Beast episode before

Speaker A

Nine days later, Jake would clarify this comment by uploading a now incredibly viral video titled "Why I Left MrBeast," in which he'd explained why he had been let go, and it came down to, "My piece no longer fit the puzzle, if that, that's the best way to put it," before discussing how he wanted to leave anyway so he could pursue content creation under his own name.

Speaker A

left Mr Beast in which he' explained that he'd resigned from the team so he could pursue stand-up comedy under his own name I I found myself kind of I guess losing passion for what I was doing I'm doing stand up basically

Speaker A

It was a mutual leaving. I'd already told him multiple times, you know, what I wanted to do was kind of be my own boss, do my own thing. Me and Jimmy did not have any type of falling out, you know, so everything's cool. MrBeast, still love you, bro.

Speaker A

from which is supported by the fact that wed came back about a year later for two Cameo appearances on the channel however there's a different Mr Beast member who only managed to feature in one video before getting fired sneo now to avoid

Speaker A

Basically, he got tired of...

Speaker A

featured a unique editing style more advanced than almost anyone else on the platform anybody who was a fan of sneo at the time can vouch for how incredible his videos were and with this in mind it's really no wonder that Mr Beast gave

Speaker A

him a shot on the team sneo made his first appearance in the ibuilt a working car using only Legos video however as explained by another video uploaded to sn's personal Channel titled the most important I learned working for Mr Beast

Speaker A

his employment didn't last for very long I started working for Mr Beast 2 years ago it didn't last long because I got caught up with my ego and this was during a time when I wasn't uploading on YouTube at all sneo maintained a level

Speaker A

of respect toward Mr Beast even after leaving the team however the same can't be said for Marcus Pearson who became the most controversial firing in Mr Beast history when Marcus was first introduced to the channel back in 2019

Speaker A

he quickly became a fan favorite however after being featured in the Mr Beast Christmas special that very same year Marcus stopped appearing in any of the videos 5 months later in May 2020 a fan would ask on Marcus's Tik Tok when you

Speaker A

coming back to Mr Beast challenges to which he'd respond to ask him implying that maybe Marcus had been left in the dark about his future involvement on the channel approximately 3 months later in August 2020 Marcus was officially

Speaker A

removed from the team although unlike most of the other Mr Beast members Marcus didn't leave peacefully so I got to destroy him bro so I'm going destroy you bro I'm going destroy you eternally for a long ass just you going to feel

Speaker A

this you going to feel this tomorrow the next day and the next day you ain't going to forget about this one Marcus would take to Instagram and post a 12-minute story in which he'd make some absolutely delusional claims such as Mr

Speaker A

Basse started the pandemic he started this pandemic for a reason Marcus was a ler whilst Mr Bas was a follower I was born a leader and he was born a follower he was Dylan sauce I was borrowing sauce

Speaker A

and paying homage you feel me before going on a state that he thought m base was a broken person for firing him the only conclusion that I can make is that he's broken somewhere else that's the only conclusion that I can come up with

Speaker A

while it seemed like marcus' goal was to discredit Mr Beast the only person he seemed to discredit was himself given Marcus's rant was so delusional and unfounded that it just made him look like an idiot it's been stated all

Speaker A

around the internet that Marcus was fire because of unacceptable behavior and a drug problem although there's no evidence anywhere to support these claims Mr B stated in a podcast that their revenue dropped massively at the start of the pandemic and the more

Speaker A

likely reality was that Marcus was fired to save money on wages during a tough economic time Marcus maintains an Instagram following of around 75,000 yet he's only made one Post in the last 2 years showing that his rant against Mr

Speaker A

Beast also marked the end of his online career
