“This case is about a social media celebrity who believes his fame means that his word does not matter, that the facts do not matter and that he can renege and breach his contractual obligations without consequence,” the lawsuit against Donaldson read. “He is mistaken.”
MrBeast’s allegations were also based on customer feedback, which claimed Beast Burger foods as disgusting, inedible, and awful. However, Virtual Dining Concept’s counter-lawsuit claims that MrBeast has failed to honor its terms and partnership policies.
The company further stated that this famous streaming personality’s comment was “riddled with false statements and inaccuracies.” This company termed MrBeast’s lawsuit as ill-advised and completely meritless. They said this famous streamer needed to negotiate a new contract for his monetary interests with the company.
