Chris Tyson is a YouTube personality and a part of MrBeast’s entourage. While it is normal for MrBeast aka Jimmy Donaldson to dominate the headlines, lately it is Chris who has been the most prominent name in focus. Tyson’s recent physical transformation has been a massive talking point among the MrBeast followers and it has not always been positive.
Ever since Tyson came out as bisexual and gender nonconforming, he has faced a lot of abuse from transphobes all over the internet. From slamming Chris’ friend and fellow MrBeast personality, Karl Jacobs to attacking Chris for the drastically different look, Tyson has faced a lot of abuse in recent times. It all started after a fan pointed out Chris’ more feminine look and wondered the reason behind it.
HRT, and it’s only been 2 months 😱 https://t.co/uAWOw59eMm

In reply, Tyson added that he was going through Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). HRT is generally used to increase a particular sex hormone that is not present in a sufficient manner. Chris explained it as a gender-affirming treatment. But there are many who can not respect a person’s private life and feel the need to drag the matter into the public eye.
Recently, MrBeast also called out one of Chris’ critics and showed undying support for his friend, who is facing a lot of hatred and bullying online. So the question is, what is the major talking point from the critics online? Let’s find out.
Critics accuse Chris Tyson of leaving his wife Katie and son Tucker
Chirs Tyson got married to Katie Tyson in 2018. The couple had their son Tucker in June 2020. From the information available in public, it looked like Chris and Katie shared a great bond and were extremely happy with each other. However, things changed once Tyson publicly identified as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. The two slowly stopped posting each other’s pictures on social media platforms over the past few years.
As a result, transphobic comments and insults started to flood social media platforms. According to some on Twitter, Tyson’s decision to go through gender-affirming treatment somehow means that he has left his wife Katie, and toddler son, Tucker. So what are people saying exactly?
Here are some fan reactions

@MrBeast
Fire chris tyson, he had a son and wife and gave it up, we know you miss the good old days, we miss the good old days, now it’s a woke shit show, wouldn’t be surprised if you or chris sue me, “ACCEPT MY BELIEFS OF ILL SUE” type of logic you and chris are on— goose (@gosselin_jacoby) April 13, 2023
The issue with the whole Chris Tyson controversy is that reflects a new low point for men in the west.
Rather being devoted to a father and husband, he abandoned his wife and son to pursue a delusion.
Sure he may have the legal privileges to do so, but it is not right.

I don’t care that @MrBeast’s costar, Chris Tyson, has transitioned to being a transwoman. What I do care about is the fact that she abandoned her wife and child to do so.
Chris chose her comfort over the wellbeing of the woman and child that she supposedly loved. That’s evil.

If you don’t know who this guy is, he is Chris Tyson from the Mr. Beast YouTube channel, one of the most popular in the world for kids.

Struggling to get my head around this one.
Chris Tyson from MrBeast (no idea, youtubey thing) had a beautiful wife & son but decided to walk away from them to pump himself full of oestrogen and pretend to be a woman.

Despite the rumors online, there is no validity to the reports of Tyson divorcing his wife. However, rumors of the separation have been present for a while. It looks like Tyson is aware of all the chatter and recently took to Twitter to put the talks of him leaving his son Tucker to bed following his physical transformation.
I won’t let people talk about how I ‘abandoned my child’. He is the only priority in my life. I have his love and support and that is all I need. I’m doing this for him. If that confuses you, educate yourself. It that makes you mad. Leave. Simple.

He wrote, “I won’t let people talk about how I ‘abandoned my child’. He is the only priority in my life. I have his love and support and that is all I need. I’m doing this for him. If that confuses you, educate yourself. It that makes you mad. Leave. Simple.”
However, Tyson did not address the matter of him leaving his wife, Katie. Both the YouTuber and his wife are grown-ups and it is possible that they are sorting out the matter internally, as it should be. So it is definitely high time for all speculation and rumors to end as it accomplishes nothing constructive.
