The complaint alleges that Easterbrook lied, committed fraud, destroyed evidence, as well as violated corporate policy by having sex with three of his subordinates. McDonald’s also claims to have photographic as well as video evidence.
McDonald’s claims, “That evidence consisted of dozens of nude, partially nude, or sexually explicit photographs and videos of various women, including photographs of these Company employees, that Easterbrook had sent as attachments to messages from his Company e-mail account to his personal e-mail account.”
The improper relationships took place in 2018 and the beginning of 2019, at the same time that Mcdonald’s employees were complaining about sexual harassment in the workplace.
It is also alleged that the now disgraced CEO approved a “discretionary stock grant for Employee-2 while they were in a sexual relationship,” despite “his representation to outside counsel that he had never engaged in a physical sexual relationship with a Company employee.”
