McDonald's is suing former CEO Steve Easterbrook, accusing him of hiding sexual relationships with employees
Easterbrook also approved a stock grant worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to one of the women "shortly after their first sexual encounter and within days of their second," McDonald's alleged in the lawsuit, which was filed in a Delaware court.Easterbrook, a citizen of the United Kingdom, was fired last year after he admitted to having had what McDonald's called a"non-physical, consensual relationship involving texting and video calls" with an employee.
The company said Monday that it had dismissed Easterbrook without cause and with a severance package because it did not have evidence of the other behavior at the time. But the internal investigation that has been ongoing since his departure revealed details that, McDonald's said, would have led the company to fire him with cause and without a severance package, had it known all along.
The alleged photographic and video evidence of Easterbrook's sexual relationships had been deleted from his company-issued phone by the time he handed it over to McDonald's upon his departure, the company said. But the emails containing the evidence he allegedly sent from his work account to his personal account were still housed on the company's server, according to the lawsuit.
