Something to note here - Variety had that court document link ready to go on article drop. The lawsuit was filed on Mon, 9/16/24, and the article was published Tues 9/17/24 with the fully redacted court document prepped. That is really quick turnaround, and makes me assume a few things: the lawyers/plaintiffs/reporter had already been in communication, the reporter had the article ready and was likely informed of the general contents of the lawsuit, the only delay on the article publishing was to ensure the legally obtained redacted documents would be available. The other thing I'm noticing is the variety link is a direct PDF download. Which means the journalist had a full file copy themselves to publish and share. There's a lot of coordination here, and those direct quotes are key, and I would also bet Rosanna played a part in getting everyone connected with the right people so this could be such a coordinated effort to get this into mainstream news as soon as it was filed. Because if there's no delay into mainstream news, that prevents any potential cover-ups/payoffs that allegedly could have been done after the filing before it hit mainstream.
such a good point about them pushing it to mainstream to avoid a cover up. i’m glad they’ve been able to get this far already, and i’m so thankful rosanna has been so instrumental in support of the parties affected!
LMAO that's what happens when you fck over media people like rossana and possible many more who work in the entertainment industry. THEY KNOW THEIR STUFF AND HAVE THE RESOURCES WHO TO CONTACT 😂.
Ro knows how people try to spin things. I don't wanna say this is old news, but it's not new, them bringing a lawsuit kinda is. Given how much sh¡t she's gotten before, I wouldn't be surprised if she covered the cost of a media/legal advisor to plan this out to be the least painful for everyone going against him, and good for her.
Even if they demand a jury trial, they probably have up to a week before trial to mediate and settle the case. Just because there is a jury demand doesn’t mean it’ll go to trial. A case I worked on this summer settled like 2 days before we were being called for trial and had to turn in our jury demand and instructions 5 business days before trial was set to begin.
Demanding a jury trial doesn't mean they won't settle, it just means _if_ it gets to the trial stage, they want a jury to hear evidence instead of just a judge making a ruling. It's legalese, honestly pretty run-of-the-mill. There are more _sensitive_ cases or cases where a jury trial isn't beneficial, but those are less common and can really only happen in civil cases.
Really appreciate you and Rosanna consistently covering this 💜 Rosanna being included in this document really demonstrates how important it is and how you two platforming these stories really does make a difference. Love you both 💜💜
During the pandemic I had a job that hired me as a contractor but expected work at all hours without pay. I contacted the department of labor and did some research. Many employers misclassify employees so they do not have to pay them as other full time employees. Fair Labor Standards Act says you can not have someone do the work of a full time employee and act as such but misclassify them as contractors to pay them less. This is not fair wage. The Restoring Workers Power Act of 2020 was born because of the widespread massive mistreatment of those expected to work ungodly hours in unsafe work conditions without fair pay. I am glad this is coming to light and hope people are healing and get the fair pay they deserve
We all laughed at nasa for asking woman if they needed 100 tampons and would that be enough when going into space. But damn at least they cared enough to make sure they had the products they needed!
I’m wondering the same thing regarding what’s gonna happen in terms of the show, I feel like at this rate the only logical thing would be to cancel the show, but knowing Jimmy and Amazon I wouldn’t be surprised if they push through anyway
Adam! Thank you so much for covering this. My son was unfortunately a huge Mr. Beast fan. I always had a dislike for him but I didn’t push my suspensions on my child. He’s been around while I’ve watched your videos regarding this matter so I’ve had to gently let him know what’s going on (obviously in a way his young mind could grasp without mentioning adult matters) and to say I felt horrible is an understatement. He was really hurt. It’s one thing as an adult to hear something wild about a creator you enjoy; you feel gross, confused, perhaps guilty to an extent. But can you imagine how the kids may feel if/when the true character of their favorite creators comes to light? It’s bad enough to feel we can’t truly enjoy someone’s content these days because they’re all shitty people but these poor kids. Of course, you can’t trust everyone especially online but it’s insane how many people have been rightfully called out this year alone. Honestly, we as a public gave a lot of these people too much power and a huge platform. It’s sick.
Hi! I'm a U.S. transactional attorney reading these court docs so my analysis is from that perspective and I have no court experience. I mostly review contracts. That said, a complaint is one sided. That's always something to note in court docs. They are from an attorney from either side so the information is biased. Period. Especially pre-trial. Some of these redactions are to protect the victims. Meaning they describe abuse specific enough to know who the victim is. Some of those redactions are likely related to Mr. Beast and his team not wanting to release commercial terms. Interesting that their original contracts did not exclude class actions and court action and that these people are able to sue as a class. A lot of times, you will see that right contracted away to mediation or arbitration. That may be thrown out after review on the agreement these participants/plaintiffs signed. Jury demanded is standard so not as big of a deal. It's usually waived in cases that are very technical like patents or finance cases, where an average person would struggle to follow along. "Upon description or believe" is a euphemism in legal to say "someone told me you did this shit". So they are very early in their investigation of this case. Not good for the plaintiffs.
This is a new Mr. Beast video istg. Mr. Beast - Court Battle (Chance to win class action lawsuit!!!) or Mr. Beast BIGGEST Giveaway yet!!! Trauma for everyone! 💀
i don't think anyone who is trying to make excuses knows how severe HOSPITALIZATION for dehydration is. edit now that i've finished the video in full: i already didnt like mr beast for Many & Varying Reasons but as someone who lives in nevada, he is personally fucking with me & my family by trying to commit tax fraud to avoid paying what he owes & honestly there are exhausting & exploitative elements to living somewhere with *heavy* tourism so additional things like this on top are just egregious.
Screw Mr. Yeast btw, I hope the victims get their justice in this lawsuit !! They sure deserve it and so much more. Yall stay safe out there!! (Edit: no, for those not in the live chat when this was a premiere, I did not come up with the Mr. Yeast thing, a lovely person named Lauren S. I believe came up with that in the live chat. If they comment under here, go show them some love for it was not I who came up with this ^^)
I watch a lot of lawtube you did pretty well on the pronounciations. Double extra points for reading legalese from the US. We pronounce things weird here already. Just remember, "lawsuits are full of allegations and shade." Doesn't necessarily mean its true facts, though it appears most of it is.. The redactions seem to be a bit much.. the names and otherwise specifics on personal information is understandable..but man! Thats a lot of really interesting details redacted. Im intrigued..
Mr. Beast being the same age as me doesn’t feel correct. In my head he’s like a good decade older than me but apparently he’s only a month older than me. Wth…
i wonder if the reason they were given insufficient food is because they were given those lunchable things they created which barely have anything in them LMAO
I wonder how much money they actually make because I’m pretty sure they take loans out to film their videos and they have to pay them back. I know they’re definitely making money. I just wonder how much.
Its pretty disgusting that Mr Beast has hid behind the fact he states this is a "gameshow" or for "entertainment" ans these people were "volunteering" for such things. Obviously these peopl were so desperate to live as Mr Beast does. A chance to have even a fraction of the money he had. He was banking and taking advantage of their emotions and want for something better...hiding behind it just being "fun"...but doing the bare minimum for these people, no doubt to cut down on the bottom line. So henseforth more money in his pocket... he knows what hes doing. I guarantee he has a team of high powered lawyers telling him how to go around these laws, how to describe and advertise to get around these silly "laws" and "regulations"... or just damn emphathy for humanity. Its gross. But i guarantee because of those high priced lawyers writing these contracts, it could get him out of this in a way.. you know, a loophole. Ew ew ew .
Howdy Adam so my dad and I went to my doctors appointment yesterday and My left shoulder has tendinitis and inflamed and I have to go back in 6 weeks for a cortisone shot💉💉💉
I love that they called him "supposedly magnanimous" (defined as: generous or forgiving, especially toward a rival or less powerful person). That hit hard. Sorry that you didn't know the word, Adam and anybody else. Just wanted to share what it means so maybe a couple more of ya'll can see just how much sass is in this document. 😂
The fact that there is SO MUCH REDACTED….tells me they are BEYOND GUILTY.
"Defendants intentionally misclassified them to defendants economic advantage" says everything you need to know about how horrible Best Team was

Ooooih the preventing a cover up bit is so so good, they definitely would’ve BURIED this in mistrust and lies if they had the opportunity too

Good observations!
Interesting they're demanding a jury trial because I keep seeing people say they think Mr. Beast will just pay out a bunch of money to avoid trial
Even if they demand a jury trial, they probably have up to a week before trial to mediate and settle the case. Just because there is a jury demand doesn’t mean it’ll go to trial. A case I worked on this summer settled like 2 days before we were being called for trial and had to turn in our jury demand and instructions 5 business days before trial was set to begin.
@@kickingviolets Yes, exactly. Tati settled her case 1 day before the first trial day.
Demanding a jury trial doesn't mean they won't settle, it just means _if_ it gets to the trial stage, they want a jury to hear evidence instead of just a judge making a ruling. It's legalese, honestly pretty run-of-the-mill. There are more _sensitive_ cases or cases where a jury trial isn't beneficial, but those are less common and can really only happen in civil cases.
It will be settled before they make it to trial
TODAY I PAID 12 JURORS 1 MILLION DOLLARS FOR 24 DURING MY TRIAL
Really appreciate you and Rosanna consistently covering this 💜 Rosanna being included in this document really demonstrates how important it is and how you two platforming these stories really does make a difference. Love you both 💜💜
everything about this case is absolutely insane, my heart goes out to everyone that this effected. also thank you for covering this the way you do!!
Im literally wearing a chappel roan shirt in tomorrows upload wtf
@@JakeWeddle smells like taste in here
We love you Jakie!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
daddy
And you're so real for that
Lmao awesome
Can't wait for us to get a Mr. Beast live trial. Hope it's just as publicized as the last big live trial (D vs H)
It won't be as the people suing are under nda
@@mollyblower3868 damn :( I forgot about that.
14 charges is crazy… they’re about to cage the beast Y’ALL 💜
Cage the beast I’m cryingggg😂

The “ blank, blank, blank, blank blank” is killing me Adam
I’m so grateful Adam is covering this entire Mr Beast scandal I AM HOOKED
This is definitely worth ignoring my bf for
What a baddie
should’ve made him watch the whole series so y’all could discuss together
Omg I'm actually right on time!!
California law is no joke, they will get you for everything they can
We all laughed at nasa for asking woman if they needed 100 tampons and would that be enough when going into space. But damn at least they cared enough to make sure they had the products they needed!
LOL
At least they tried!!!
I’m wondering the same thing regarding what’s gonna happen in terms of the show, I feel like at this rate the only logical thing would be to cancel the show, but knowing Jimmy and Amazon I wouldn’t be surprised if they push through anyway
oh god, this show is a mess. I guess that's what happens when you mix a shitty company (Amazon) with a shitty person (Mr. Beast)
taking a hit every time adam says blank
you are going to be GREENED OUT after this video is over lol
Good luck sis ❤
hows it going
yaaa good game
I’m in
the whole video is giving chris hansen's "I wanna blank your blank" reading the transcripts

The tax credit is wild if you think about how much Amazon already gave them for the show
I’ve neverrrr made it to a live before glad I turned on my post notifs
California is big on correctly identifying employees, it's been a bit push recently, and like honestly good for them.
I love your content bc you dont bullshit us. Others change the meanings of things, but you say it straight up.
MR YEAST!!!! 💜💜🍞🍞🍞🥖🥖🥖
I love this
i don't think anyone who is trying to make excuses knows how severe HOSPITALIZATION for dehydration is.
edit now that i've finished the video in full: i already didnt like mr beast for Many & Varying Reasons but as someone who lives in nevada, he is personally fucking with me & my family by trying to commit tax fraud to avoid paying what he owes & honestly there are exhausting & exploitative elements to living somewhere with *heavy* tourism so additional things like this on top are just egregious.
I’m patiently waiting for Emily D Baker to cover this lawsuit and see what she thinks about the lawsuit. I hope these 5 people get justice
Unfortunately it’s unlikely anything will happen to mr beast…when you get rich enough, laws stop being rules and start being price tags
Yup, it's infuriating.
I’m loving the coverage of this
Screw Mr. Yeast btw, I hope the victims get their justice in this lawsuit !! They sure deserve it and so much more. Yall stay safe out there!!
(Edit: no, for those not in the live chat when this was a premiere, I did not come up with the Mr. Yeast thing, a lovely person named Lauren S. I believe came up with that in the live chat. If they comment under here, go show them some love for it was not I who came up with this ^^)
adam should become the new mr beast but it’s just drama lore challenges
What a time to be alive, September has been crazy!!
other youtubers covered this but i waited to see adam's take on it because no one else makes it so entertaining 💜
mr YEAST 💜💜get that bread 🍞
I watch a lot of lawtube you did pretty well on the pronounciations. Double extra points for reading legalese from the US. We pronounce things weird here already.
Just remember, "lawsuits are full of allegations and shade." Doesn't necessarily mean its true facts, though it appears most of it is..
The redactions seem to be a bit much.. the names and otherwise specifics on personal information is understandable..but man! Thats a lot of really interesting details redacted. Im intrigued..
i cannot comprehend that jimmy and i are the same age. like truly TRULY would’ve bet my entire life that he was in his 30s
LOVE the outfit! So excited for you!!!!
Realizing he’s only 3 years older than me is actually mind blowing….
Can you cover the lunchly thing please
But squid game is just a show they said
Omgg adam im going to a chapell roan club night tonight too!! im listening to this while gettiing my look ready:)))
mama a BLANK behind you
Blankblankblank blank. Blank.blank.blank 😂 I know this is serious but it just tickled me every time Adam saying blank
Sadly when it comes to worker rights.. there is a reason they filmed in Nevada and not California
This [REDACTED] was BLANK 💜
Blank blank blank.
mr YEAST💜
And that’s on blank
MERCH. THE SECOND PROJECT IS MERCH
BRAT SEASON IS FOREVER AND THAT WILL *NOT* BE REDACTED
I love that they are demanding a jury so jimmy can’t get any deals or settlements. It’s up to a jury👌🏼
Seeing this in real time is crazy
hiii im watching while its live but i went back to the start so i could see it all
Trust me those poor people are never going to see their money
Watching this while playing the sims for some proper adhd-ing
If it’s tax evasion in america… he is cooked.
Pls pls pls do the lunchy with prime drama
Thank you auntie LYNDA 💜
Mr. Beast being the same age as me doesn’t feel correct. In my head he’s like a good decade older than me but apparently he’s only a month older than me. Wth…

Something is telling me they gave them Lunchly as the free guinea pigs for it before launch
