Philip DeFranco argues that Ava Kris Tyson's alleged inappropriate messaging toward a minor is unacceptable regardless of the context provided.

“And from the messages I saw, that shit is completely unacceptable to be saying to a child under under any circumstances. And then I saw people saying it was a group chat, but an adult being in a group chat with children and then still saying edgy or inappropriate shit is still unacceptable like that”

He believes that using employees as contestants in competitions and presenting them as random subscribers is misleading and problematic.

“You don't think it matters to his audience who think that all these people are random subscribers and then he's actually just picking people he knows in real life to be on the show yeah I guess it is that's not a great look is it it's a little I mean it's misleading at worst”
