This seems like a run of the mill news attempt at controversy for attention. None of the “controversies” mentioned are particularly egregious. I don’t think Mr beast needs me to defend him but the reactions to this seem way more extreme than the problems themselves.

How many of us know all of our friends and colleagues well ebough to know every dirty secret they have? If one of my friends were a pedophile but kept it well hidden, how am I to be held responsible for their actions when I didn’t know?

An inexperienced production crew doesn’t provide the best working conditions for a reality and stunt show? Color me surprised. Television has had shows that put people in danger for years, even from very experienced crews.

I know just about every one of us likely did or said something that was really, really stupid when we were teens. Turns out teenagers don’t have fully developed brains and don’t make the best decisions. Holding someone accountable for saying something dumb as a child, that they have publically apologized for later, seems like people going out of their way to find fault.
