Similar Stories to Could A Lawsuit Against Mrbeast And Amazon Get Their Show Beast Games Canceled? on Bing News

A firestorm of allegations have, for months, swirled around multimillionaire YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, as well as the people and companies linked to him. Now, a class-action complaint related to alleged wrongdoing in the making of Beast Games, a forthcoming game show on Prime Video that Amazon earlier this year touted would be “the biggest reality competition series ever,” has been filed on behalf of at least five unnamed plaintiffs who were contestants on the program. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The complaint, filed Monday with the Los Angeles Superior Court, names MrBeast-linked company MRB2024 LLC, Amazon Studios’ unscripted division Amazon Alternative LLC, and independent production company Off One’s Base LLC, as defendants and seeks a jury trial to determine unspecified monetary damages—“likely totaling in the millions of dollars,” according to a press statement from the plaintiffs’ lawyers—including for alleged unpaid wages and subjecting participants, particularly female ones, to hostile work conditions. The lawsuit, however, is unlikely to go to trial, as class actions typically settle before trial, Camron Dowlatshahi, a Los Angeles-based lawyer specializing in entertainment and employment injury cases, tells TIME.
