Content Cop debunks DogPack404’s viral MrBeast’s accusations

On By Littum

YouTuber Soggy Cereal released a lengthy video on November 16 in which he claimed to debunk various allegations made by former MrBeast employee Dawson French.

French, who uploaded two videos — a third was subsequently removed from the channel — to YouTube in August under the username DogPack404, accused MrBeast of rigging contests, advocating sexual harassment, fake videos and numerous other offenses.

Combined, the two videos have garnered over 25 million views at the time of writing, and their content is leading to a back-and-forth between legal teams representing the two parties.

Soggy Cereal’s video – in which he adopts the same Content Cop persona created by iDubbz and riffed on by Dawson in his own videos – nearly 90 minutes long, assessed each claim made by French, starting with former MrBeast employee Delaware, who French claimed was hired despite knowing he was a registered sex offender.

Referring to Jake Weddle’s comments in one of French’s videos suggesting that Delaware wear a mask in every MrBeast video appearance to hide their identity, Soggy Cereal shared messages he received from current MrBeast employee Dustin Harris, who said that Delaware was “just a local best buy manager Jimmy found” and hired.

“I guess Jimmy figured that if BestBuy thought he was good enough to manage a store, he was probably good enough to run a YouTube channel,” Harris continued, adding that the name Delaware was a nickname they had been known by during their Best Buy employment. , not given to them by MrBeast.

Soggy Cereal then spoke with another former MrBeast employee, Garret Niconienko, who revealed that their comments about Delaware, garbled for anonymity for use in French’s videos, were recorded without his knowledge and amounted to nothing more than “water cooler” talk.

On allegations of rigged contests, Soggy Cereal accused French of either omitting video descriptions on MrBeast contest live streams that specifically stated that “free entry” to contests was available on the company’s website, with the only stipulations that entrants “must be 18+ and a US resident located in the US to win.”

Cereal agreed with French’s claims that MrBeast was running an illegal lottery, and believed that no mention of a “no purchase necessary” disclaimer in the lottery video’s description made the event illegal and that Jimmy had to “own up to it.”

Arguably the most notable segment in Soggy Cereal’s video, shown around the halfway mark, French can be heard pleading with then-COO Lacoya Hill to keep his job at MrBeast.

MrBeast has had numerous allegations against him and his company.

“You’re trying to fire me and I want to work at this company,” French is heard saying, before Hill interjects, “I’m the COO of this company. If I’m talking, don’t interrupt me. I’m telling you that’s what happens and you tell me I’m wrong. I’m not wrong.”

“I appreciate that. Can I please have another chance?” French replies, before questioning the possibility of staying with the company and moving to another department. “It’s not going to happen,” Hill concludes.

Cereal spoke with several MrBeast employees at the end of the video, including Emily, who worked directly with French on the company’s ideation team.

“Me and Dawson were cordial,” she said, adding that while the video editor “tried his best” to keep the work environment professional, he seemed “pretty disinterested” in his colleagues. “He definitely gave off weird vibes and I felt very uncomfortable working in the office with him,” she continued.

At the time of writing, French has not responded to Soggy Cereal’s video through his DogPack404 YouTube channel or X/Twitter account.
