“The person who made this video is a member of my team, so I want to immediately deny some of the information in the video,” Chucky said in a lengthy post.
The individual who made this video was on my team and I want to immediately deny some of the information in this video. It was my decision to fire him due to his erratic behavior.

Chuckie mainly slammed the claim that only friends and family were featured in the video: “This is an outlandish statement and can easily be proven false. There are probably hundreds, maybe thousands, of people who have no connection to the friends or family of Beast employees. Jimmy only knows about a dozen of them,” he said.

In response to accusations that the video is scripted, they specifically pointed to MrBeast’s “100 Boys Vs 100 Girls” video as evidence.
“It was not scripted. Jimmy probably had countless people on set for that video and it would have been impossible to hide. I was on set for this video and had no bias as to who won,” the graphic designer added.
