MrBeast and Amazon are facing a lawsuit filed by five participants of the “Beast Games” program, accusing them of “inhumane” working conditions, harassment, and failure to pay minimum wage.
The competition, which offers a $5 million prize and will be launched on Amazon Prime Video, attracted thousands of competitors, but the lawsuit alleges that participants suffered mistreatment and violations of labor rights.
The contestants claim they were deprived of food, sleep, and medical care during filming, resulting in hospitalizations and physical and mental issues. Women, in particular, reported being subjected to a misogynistic environment, where harassment was ignored by the production team.
Additionally, the participants say they were not volunteering but were promised wages, which were not fulfilled. So far, neither MrBeast nor Amazon have responded to the allegations in the lawsuit.
