The news: MrBeast (real name James Donaldson), the most popular creator on YouTube and a children’s consumer goods entrepreneur, has spent the last few months dealing with wave after wave of controversy.

• Most recently, Donaldson and Amazon were named in a class-action lawsuit from contestants on the upcoming game show “Beast Games,” set to launch on Prime Video later this year.
• Plaintiffs alleged that more than 1,000 contestants were subjected to unsafe and unlawful employment conditions, sexual harassment, and other issues as they competed for a $5 million prize.
