MrBeast’s Beast Games premiered on December 19 but it has already kicked up a huge controversy when YouTuber Amanda Rose who is better known by the name Eat Like a Bear uploaded a video which was titled, ‘I Was Kicked in The Head’ on December 19, 2024.
The contestant claimed that she was kicked on the head and she suffered a concussion as a result.
Amanda Rose Claims Serious Injury During MrBeast’s Beast Games Qualifiers
Amanda now suffers months later from a Traumatic Brain Injury from competing on MrBeast’s new show #BeastGames. This happened during the “Briefcase Challenge.”
The challenge seemed to be very poorly designed with not enough safety regulations or oversight.

Rose also gave an interview with Rosanna Pansino, who stated that several participants of the game have endured severe injuries in the past.
Rose has revealed that she was injured in the Briefcase Challenge which was a component of the Beast Games and has been halfway through a one-year recovery from the brain injury suffered at the show.
Rose also revealed that she had reported the case to the Las Vegas Police.
She is under a Non-Disclosure Agreement and said in her video
“I was kicked in the head as a contestant on Beast games. I’m in a year-long recovery from a traumatic brain injury should I recover fully in the 5 months since the injury. I’ve been under a non-disclosure agreement and have not been able to speak out. My story is both the best and the worst of YouTube all wrapped into one.”
Amanda Rose did not figure in the 1000 participants of the Prime Video episode of Beast Games. She was a participant among the 2000 who attended MrBeast’s YouTube video for the qualifiers.
The qualifiers were titled ‘2,000 People Fight For $5,000,000.’
By the concluding moments of MrBeast’s YouTube video, only 1000 qualified for episode 1 and Amanda was eliminated in the Briefcase round.
The Briefcase Challenge was the second game and was essentially a memory game.
The stadium was filled with briefcases which either had a green or a red card in it.
The organizers of the game briefly showed the locations of the red cards in the briefcase.
The participants had to remember it and pick the briefcases with green cards.
Choosing a briefcase with a red card meant disqualification.
Amanda Rose rushed to collect the briefcase but collided with another participant and fell on the ground.
Amanda recalls that she could have been trampled by the rushing participants but managed to get on her feet.
Amanda Rose also alleged that she was not referred to medical care despite informing Karl Jacobs.
Amanda also revealed that she did not have the symptoms of a concussion until the day after she participated in Beast Games.
