Denise Paleothodoros was forced into the spotlight due to a past relationship with Steve Easterbrook.Denise Paleothodoros saw her personal life dragged into the spotlight because of her romantic relationship to McDonald's ex-CEO Steve Easterbrook from 2014 to 2018.
The text was accompanied by a link to the news — that her ex, Steve Easterbrook, had been accused by McDonald's of covering up sexual relationships with three employees during his time as McDonald's CEO. McDonald's said in its complaint, filed in August, that investigators found nude and sexually explicit photos of employees attached to an email that Easterbrook sent himself.
"My first priority was to set the record straight for my children and family, and second, to hopefully avoid misconceptions with potential business partners," Paleothodoros said. "My priority was definitely not about publicity. It was about what is discoverable online in the face of misinformation." Paleothodoros was dating Easterbrook when he was promoted to McDonald's CEO.Paleothodoros and Easterbrook met in Sochi, Russia in 2014.
"He definitely wanted employees to feel energized, to come to work everyday and be passionate about the company and the brand," Paleothodoros said. "He wanted employees to feel proud of who they work for. Professionally speaking, it was important to him that he remain humbly grounded." Paleothodoros said Easterbrook changed after he found success at McDonald's.Paleothodoros said that the pair grew apart as Easterbrook found success as McDonald's CEO.
Easterbrook's behavior began to make sense to Paleothodoros a few weeks later. In early November, Easterbrook called Paleothodoros to tell her that he was being terminated from McDonald's, after the company investigated his relationship with a female employee. McDonald's investigators found that the relationship was sexual in nature, allegedly involving sexually explicit text messages and photos, but not physical contact.
"They splashed my LinkedIn picture all over their stories, tried accessing me at my home and office, and went even deeper into my personal life, making home visits to my former husband and also at his restaurant," Paleothodoros said. "They went to the home of my father and my former in-laws. They also visited with my former neighbors."
"I had a constant feeling of embarrassment," Paleothodoros said. "I also felt bad for the unwanted attention that it brought to my company." Then, on August 10, McDonald's sued Easterbrook — and Paleothodoros was dragged right back into the scandal. Paleothodoros sprung into crisis management mode after McDonald's lawsuit.Easterbrook hadn't given Paleothodoros a courtesy call before McDonald's filed its lawsuit. The pair haven't spoken since February, Paleothodoros said, when they decided it was time to independently prioritize addressing all the changes in their lives.
