MrBeast employee alleges she was harassed for years and fired after maternity leave in a new lawsuit
The lawsuit alleges a boys-club culture, ignored harassment complaints and retaliation that ended in her firing less than 3 weeks after maternity leave.
- On Wednesday, former employee Lorrayne Mavromatis filed a federal lawsuit against MrBeastYouTube LLC and GameChanger 24/7, alleging sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, and Family and Medical Leave Act violations.
- Mavromatis alleges a toxic 'boys club' culture where she faced retaliatory demotions after reporting harassment to HR head Sue Parisher in November 2023, with her complaints deemed 'unsubstantiated' within two months.
- During her 2025 maternity leave, Mavromatis claims management pressured her to work while in labor and on maternity leave; then-CEO James Warren allegedly dismissed her harassment concerns, telling her she should be 'honored' by unwanted client advances.
- Beast Industries dismissed the lawsuit as a 'clout-chasing complaint,' asserting that internal Slack messages and a signed handbook from March 27, 2025 refute her allegations of FMLA violations.
- CEO Jimmy Donaldson faces renewed scrutiny regarding company culture as the media empire expands to employ over 750 people, with the lawsuit raising questions about workplace protections during a period of rapid growth.
