Wilmington — Steve Easterbrook, the former CEO of McDonald’s, fired back at his former company for suing to clawback tens of millions of dollars in compensation, denying company claims he covered up sexual relationships with subordinates.
“McDonald’s — a sophisticated entity represented by numerous internal and external experts when it entered into the separation agreement — is aware it cannot credibly allege a breach of contract claim,” Easterbrook’s lawyers said on Friday in a filing Delaware Chancery Court, seeking to have the lawsuit thrown out. “Instead, it improperly seeks to manufacture claims for a breach of fiduciary duty or fraud.
“McDonald’s stands by its complaint, both the factual assertions and the court in which it was filed,” the company said. “McDonald’s Corporation filed a meritless — and misleading — lawsuit in the wrong forum,” Easterbrook’s lawyers said.
