In April 2023, American YouTuber Kris Tyson, a co-host for the MrBeast YouTube channel, made a public announcement that she is undergoing hormone replacement therapy.
Born a man, Kris was happily married to Katie Tyson since 2018, and the couple had an adorable son. But suddenly, almost after half a decade of marriage, he declares separation from his wife, and soon after, he begins his journey to become a woman.
Well, the family of three apparently fell apart, and people started backlashing him for breaking his own family.
On April 23, 2024, referring to Kris’ comparison picture before and after the transition (now deleted), a Twitter user named Johnny tweeted, “And in the process, broke up your family. That sucks man. Feel sorry for your son.”

Likewise, another wrote that he had a ‘perfectly healthy nuclear family,’ which he ruined for his selfish fantasy to become a woman.
Well, whatever accusations Kris faced during his transitional journey appear to be a complete misinterpretation, as the Youtuber still hasn’t distanced himself from his family.
Kris Tyson, who now goes by the name Ava Kris Tyson, credited his son Tucker for helping him to embrace his real identity
According to DailyMail reports, Kris Tyson had struggled with his gender identity for years. In November 2020, she came out as bisexual, and at the time, Kris was already a father to his five-month-old son Tucker.
According to Kris, the arrival of her child helped her find clarity in her real identity, which she had never had before.
Kris Tyson once shared a picture of herself and her son on Twitter and wrote, “If I didn’t have this little nugget, I’d never have gotten this far…” stating that she still adores and appreciates her son’s presence in her life.
Kris, who now identifies as Ava, manages as much time as she can for her son and other family members. She has flaunted his bonding with her son on her Instagram several times.
Likewise, Kris appears to have maintained a harmonious relationship with her child’s mother, Katie, given that Katie hasn’t deleted some of her memories with Kris from her Instagram.
Ava Kris Tyson recently became the subject of new controversy, leading her to resign from MrBeast; What was the issue?
For the past few weeks, Ava Kris has been facing accusations of inappropriately talking to minors in messages.
On July 22, a Twitter User named Maw tweeted, “Kris Tyson from MrBeast has been messaging a male minor starting when the minor was around 13 & Tyson was 20….” Further, the tweet stated that whatever joke they threw at one another was completely inappropriate.
Though a series of messages that emerged online appears questionable, the then minor child, who is now 20 years old, has defended Kris, saying, ‘Ava never did anything wrong and just made a few edgy jokes. I was never exploited or taken advantage of.’

On top of that, the major allegation upon Kris, meanwhile, is ‘s*xualizing minor cartoon characters.’ Well, due to all these, Kris Tyson is facing massive backlashes.
Recently, on June 24, Ava Kris addressed all allegations, accepting that her old humor was inappropriate and that she could do nothing about it but could work on herself from now on.
Further, she apologized for her past actions in her most recent tweet. Likewise, Kris Tyson also announced that she has walked away from MrBeast stating, “..it’s best I permanently step away from all things MrBeast and social media to focus on my family and mental health.”
