MrBeast Amazon Show Accused of Unsafe Filming Conditions, Lack of Food and Medical Care
One anonymous contestant tells The New York Times they saw other participants leave on stretchers
A contract for the show, which was reviewed by the Times, included the line, “I understand that such activities may cause me death, illness or serious bodily injury, including, but not limited to exhaustion, dehydration, overexertion, burns and heat stroke." That's fairly standard language for reality TV contracts, but the allegations outlined by this expose are anything but routine.
As previously mentioned, some contestants were seen on stretchers, though it is unknown whether they faced any serious medical conditions. There have also been accusations of contestants vomiting, passing out and being taken to the hospital.
Those who spoke to the New York Times also complained about the food, claiming that they were only fed twice a day and that these meals were sporadic, small and did not account for dietary allergies. A representative for MrBeast disputed the two meals claim to the Times, stating that contestants were fed three meals a day.
Contestants have also claimed that their medications, which they were not allowed to have on their person, were not distributed in a timely manner nor was their clean underwear. Participants in this first round were offered $1,000 for their troubles, whether or not they moved onto the next round, TheWrap learned.
