MrBeast’s camp has blamed the recent CrowdStrike outage for the harrowing experience people faced while filming the Beast Games in Las Vegas last month. Participating contestants reportedly suffered through injury and mistreatment, while others supposedly had personal medication withheld for lengthy amounts of time while the competition ran.

Participants spoke out about their experience while at Allegiant Stadium on July 18 for the Beast Games, a new television show hosted and run by MrBeast in partnership with Amazon. An Aug. 2 report from the New York Times included comments from several contestants who spoke anonymously so as not to break contractual nondisclosure agreements. Many described the conditions as poor, including inadequate meals and medical care—but a spokesperson for MrBeast said many of the issues were out of their control.
