Sweeping It Under the Rug
MrBeast flat-out refused to comment when The Atlantic approached him to detail his side of the story. He also denied using hurtful slurs in his earlier videos, and he further explained that he didn’t think anyone actually cared about anything The Atlantic said. But the drama didn’t end just yet.

During the brief phone call with The Atlantic, MrBeast even urged the original writer to produce an article that showed him in a positive light, without all the slurs. Of course, The Atlantic refused the offer, and MrBeast purged his Twitter account of his old, hurtful tweets.
