Mr. Beast and Amazon have been sued by several contestants of the Beast Games reality show for various wrongdoings committed during the production. Among the accusations leveled are failure to pay the minimum wage, sexual harassment of female participants, causing emotional distress, harming participants and not providing adequate meal and rest periods.
The identity of the participants who filed the suit is kept confidential. The lawyers representing them said that although the contestants signed the contract and were aware of the risks of participating in the Beast Games show, the situation faced was worse than expected. Some of them were hospitalized while others claimed to have suffered physical and mental injuries.
Beast Games has finished filming but the date when it will be shown on Prime Video has not been announced. News of contestants being treated badly has been heard for the past few months. It then went viral again after an incident of misbehavior involving Mr Beast's staff with underage fans emerged.
