@sun in my opinion he knew what you could reasonably know. How do I know all this shit about Chris despite never watching Mr. Beast or actually caring that much at all? Pretty much all this shit that's happening right now has been known information for over a year. The journos and Mr. Beast crew successfully ran defense on it. Muh heckin transphobia they said. Some still say it right now. They know, they don't care.

Jimmy has probably known Chris has been into loli since forever. How could he not? Now add on top of all of Chris bizarre sexual behavior. He knew it was problematic, but did nothing for legacy reasons (in the technical sense).

Reasonably he should have just parted ways during the troon-out. His not-even-really-private fetishes were now becoming a core pillar of his identity. You can't have a fetish-freak on a children's show. But he kept him on, knowing this.

But muh heckin transphobia is more important, in the end.
