MrBeast blames terrible Beast Games conditions on the CrowdStrike outage

The New York Occasions is reporting that after 2,000 contestants arrived at Allegiant Stadium this July, they have been barely fed and didn’t obtain their prescription remedy or clear underwear on time — regardless of offering it to the organizers themselves. (The 1,000 contestants who make it by can return for the Beast Video games Amazon present, however this phase is for Donaldson’s YouTube channel.)

The Occasions’ story is full of anecdotes from over a dozen contestants who say they have been mistreated by organizers, like this:

One contestant stated she had initially been denied the meals she required to take her remedy and had been instructed by workers members that she didn’t truly have to eat. After asking repeatedly, she was given half a banana.

However MrBeast isn’t apologizing, not less than not but. In actual fact, he’s not even quoted within the Occasions. As a substitute, 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 stated the shoot “was sadly difficult by the CrowdStrike incident, excessive climate and different sudden logistical and communications points.” The spokesperson stated MrBeast had began a proper evaluation and had “taken steps to make sure that we study from this expertise.”
