YouTube is laden with talented and popular creators, who each boasts millions of subscribers on their channels. However, most of these creators only manage to make noise on a limited number of platforms and rarely make headlines around the world like other mainstream entertainment stars.
In that regard, James Stephen “Jimmy” Donaldson, known professionally as MrBeast, stands among very few creators whose fame transcends YouTube thanks to his penchant for creating videos involving expensive stunts and challenges. He also attracts the media’s attention through his philanthropic acts. But this time, the popular YouTuber is in the news for his disappointing treatment of multiple female creators, including Rosanna Pansino.
What Happened With Rosanna Pansino in MrBeast’s Creator Games 3
MrBeast runs a tournament-style competition, titled Creator Games. Some of the biggest internet stars have taken part in his competition, which features challenges like tag and hide & seek. Creator Games 3 saw Zach King walk away with $1 million after winning the tournament which was filmed inside of SoFi stadium.
Rosanna Pansino, who has more than 14.5 million subscribers on YouTube, also took part in the competition and was proud of how she performed and what she had achieved – supposedly a third-place finish. But she has now claimed that MrBeast edited her out of the top 3 for his video. Part of her statement read:
“When the video was released I was shocked, disappointed, and felt hurt. Mr Beast (Jimmy) had edited the video to make me look like I performed worse than I did. This was extra upsetting because I genuinely believed him when he said that his videos are ‘authentic and real.'”
Hours later, she shared another post on X, thanking the internet for making her feel “not alone” and claimed that in the hours since posting her story she has received “at least 3 other messages from female creators who have had similar experiences with Mr Beast and those around him.”
It must be noted, though, that she didn’t name these female creators and insisted that would be their story to tell if they choose to. However, she did mention Quackity, another famous YouTuber, who had a similar experience.
Rosanna Pansino Isn’t the Only YouTuber Whom MrBeast Edited Out in Creator Games 3
In MrBeast’s video, the top three were Zack King, Logan Paul, and Larray. However, as per Pansino, Quackity was second followed by her in third.
She shared a video (in Spanish) to underline that her story was confirmed by Quackity, who’s known for his brilliant game-style content. The Mexican talked about the situation on a live stream and was also left puzzled by being edited out of the top 3.
My story was previously confirmed by @Quackity. Somone on Twitter let me know that he talked about it on a stream and was also confused as to why he was edited out of the top 3.

The idea of authenticity plays a big part in the popularity of these challenges and stunts MrBeast has produced, and these allegations certainly put a huge question mark on not just Creator Games but also his other videos and ventures. MrBeast has yet to respond to these accusations.
