The New York Occasions is reporting that after 2,000 contestants arrived at Allegiant Stadium this July, they had been barely fed and didn’t obtain their prescription medicine or clear underwear on time — regardless of offering it to the organizers themselves. (The 1,000 contestants who make it by means of can return for the Beast Video games Amazon present, however this section is for Donaldson’s YouTube channel.)
The Occasions’ story is stuffed with anecdotes from over a dozen contestants who say they had been mistreated by organizers, like this:
One contestant mentioned she had initially been denied the meals she required to take her medicine and had been instructed by employees members that she didn’t really have to eat. After asking repeatedly, she was given half a banana.
However MrBeast isn’t apologizing, a minimum of not but. In reality, he’s not even quoted within the Occasions. As an alternative, the NYT acquired a textual content message from a spokesperson for MrBeast that blamed exterior components, together with CrowdStrike, as an alternative of any poor planning on its half:
“In a textual content message, a spokesperson for MrBeast mentioned the shoot “was sadly sophisticated by the CrowdStrike incident, excessive climate and different sudden logistical and communications points.” The spokesperson mentioned MrBeast had began a proper evaluate and had “taken steps to make sure that we study from this expertise.”
