Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, has indeed created a massive content empire, but his longtime friend and collaborator Chris Tyson, now known as Kris Tyson, has also been in the spotlight, garnering intense public interest.
Chris has been a familiar face to MrBeast fans, playing a crucial role in the channel’s success since its early days. Renowned for their humor, charm, and willingness to join Jimmy in his adventurous projects, Chris quickly became a beloved figure among viewers.
What happened to Chris from MrBeast?
In April 2023, Chris made a significant announcement that marked a profound shift in their life and career. They revealed they had started hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in February of that year. This decision was a result of deep personal reflection and a desire to live authentically, aligning their physical characteristics with their gender identity. While the announcement received a mix of support and criticism online, Chris continued to share their journey openly.
By July 2023, during an appearance on Anthony Padilla’s YouTube series “I Spent A Day With…”, Chris bravely came out as a transgender woman, adopting the name Kris and using she/her pronouns. Throughout this process, Kris received steadfast support from MrBeast and the entire team, including Jimmy Donaldson, who staunchly defended Kris against transphobic attacks.
Since coming out, Kris has remained an active and valued member of the MrBeast team, appearing in videos and contributing behind the scenes. She has also used her platform to share her experiences as a transgender woman, offering insights into her journey with hormone replacement therapy and highlighting the positive impact it has had on her life.
In addition to her work with MrBeast, Kris has become an advocate for transgender rights and visibility in the digital media landscape. Through her advocacy and personal journey, Kris Tyson continues to play a vital role not only within the MrBeast community but also in broader discussions about gender identity and representation online.
