Top streamers across the net are speaking out amid the viral allegations against Ava Kris Tyson, and some are tired of being asked to comment on the situation.
Ava Kris Tyson, an influencer and close friend of YouTube star MrBeast, is facing accusations of “grooming” a young fan after several videos surfaced showing alleged inappropriate messages between the two.
The alleged victim claimed that Kris sent “edgy jokes,” but said they “did nothing wrong.” They also slammed the allegations as “massive lies,” but fans are still calling on MrBeast, Kris, and other content creators associated with the pair to speak out on the ordeal.
Prominent streamer xQc was one of the first to address the situation by calling out fellow influencers for staying “silent” about Ava’s supposed “deviant behavior.”
“I follow mostly only influential creators here, yet most have been silent about the Kris Tyson situation,” he wrote on Twitter/X. “Pretty deviant behavior across the board. Weirdo. Can’t wait to read some of the cope justifications on why it wasn’t addressed.”
“By the way, next time I’m @‘ing the whole squad, stop hiding behind the noise,” he added in a reply.
Other creators, however, are tired of being asked to address a situation that they feel hasn’t yet been clarified enough. Ludwig Ahgren directly responded to a fan who asked him about the allegations, comparing the ordeal to Dr Disrespect’s Twitch ban.
“I waited for Doc’s statement on Twitter and on stream and his removal from Midnight Society. I’m literally in Paris with my family, why y’all mfers so horny for a statement?”
Ludwig wasn’t the only one who called out viewers for demanding a statement from him. YouTube streamer Valkyrae had a similar sentiment, explaining that she’s currently in the middle of moving house and hasn’t yet had time to process all the information.
“I’m still in the process of moving so I haven’t been able to fully keep up, but in the meantime, since I’ve been tagged a bunch: Pedophiles = bad. Trans ≠ equal pedo. The actions of one trans person does not mean all. Sucks to see so many anti trans people act as if it does. I’m hoping Ava speaks up.”
“Dr D is still gross,” she continued. “Lastly, to the incels that ONLY tagged Poki and I to ‘speak up’ even though everybody did after D did himself, you’re weird. Focus your hate towards the pedos for once.”
Twitch star Pokimane had a similar take on the matter. “I don’t know all the details regarding the Ava situation, but I wanna make it clear: Any inappropriate behavior towards minors is unacceptable, regardless of who you are,” she wrote.
“It’s a shame that people will see this as an opportunity to attack the trans community as a whole. One person’s actions do not reflect on every single trans person, so please don’t view it that way.”

“’I don’t know all the details.'” Why didn’t you say the same thing for Dr Disrespect’s situation?” a fan asked.
“Dr Disrespect made a statement himself with the details, Ava has yet to do so, and I’ve only watched one video,” Poki replied. “Respectfully, a 10 minute commentary video is not the most accurate news source, so I’m being honest in case more information comes out.”
YouTuber MoistCritikal also hit out at viewers asking him to speak up, pointing out that he’d discussed the issue during a live broadcast when the accusations first came to light.
Since then, Ava has published an official statement on the subject, saying that she is stepping away from MrBeast and social media to “focus on my family and mental health.”
Valkyrae reacted to Ava’s statement in a quote-retweet where she called the situation “disappointing and disgusting.”
Kai Cenat also denounced Ava, repeatedly calling her a “weirdo” during a live stream following her statement on the allegations.
“What the f*ck is going on, bro?” Kai said. “How do you know the age of someone, knowing you’re a grown ass [adult], and still move forward? I don’t understand it.”
FaZe Banks also had some strong words for Ava, similarly dubbing her a “weirdo.”
“It’s pretty clear as day that Kris Tyson’s been a f*cking weirdo with little kids, it’s the grossest thing a human can be guilty of,” he wrote in a tweet.
“Crazy to see how quiet the timeline is about this considering how loud everyone was regarding Dr. Disrespect. Interesting, I wonder why?”
At the time of writing, MrBeast has not yet offered a response, leaving viewers curious to hear what he has to say.
