, claiming both that the burgers are"excellent" and seeking a nine-figure sum in damages, ie, over $100 million dollars. , was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and claims that MrBeast not only failed to honor his contractual obligations but intentionally engaged in"tortious interference" .
"This case is about a social media celebrity who believes his fame means that his word does not matter," claims VDC's suit,"that the facts do not matter, and that he can renege and breach his contractual obligations without consequence. He is mistaken." Flipping MrBeast's claims like a well-done patty, VDC says it's him that has damaged the reputation of MrBeast Burger with"untruthful" statements,"shattered" relationships with affiliated restaurants, and caused"enormous financial harm" to the brand.
This all adds up, claims VDC, to damages that"according to the evidence and Donaldson’s own statements regarding the value of MrBeast Burger, are in the nine-figure range." A particular point of contention is customer reviews of the food in question. Donaldson's suit cited reviews, often accompanied by photographs of apparently raw food, that called the burgers"revolting" and"inedible" among many other things.
