YouTube star MrBeast and Amazon are facing a class-action lawsuit filed by five unnamed contestants from the reality competition show 'Beast Games.' The lawsuit alleges chronic mistreatment, including sexual harassment, unpaid wages, failure to pay overtime, and unsafe working conditions. Contestants claim they were not provided with meal and rest breaks and had to cover expenses without reimbursement. The production has been compared to the infamous Fyre Festival, with allegations of chaos and mismanagement. The show, which pits 2,000 contestants against each other for a $5 million cash prize, was filmed in Las Vegas. Additional claims include emotional distress and unfair business practices.
