Elizabeth Wagmeister Chief Correspondent The biggest YouTube star in the world — Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast — is being sued by Virtual Dining Concepts, the ghost kitchen company that operates his virtual restaurant chain, MrBeast Burger. Virtual Dining Concepts and Celebrity Virtual Dining (VDC) are suing the YouTuber and his Beast Investments for failing to honor his contractual obligations, as well as intentional tortious interference.
Damages are alleged to exceed $100 million. VDC filed the lawsuit, obtained by Variety, on Monday morning in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York.
The suit is in response to Donaldson suing Virtual Dining Concepts (VDC) and its parent company last month, seeking to terminate the deal for his restaurant chain, alleging, among other things, that the burgers it served were called “disgusting,” “revolting” and “inedible” and damaged his reputation. Last week, VDC fired back, calling the YouTuber’s lawsuit “meritless” and “ill-advised,” claiming that Donaldson had breached his agreement with the virtual restaurant company and recently attempted to negotiate a new deal “to serve his own monetary interests” and “give up more of the brand to him to terminate his “existing contractual obligations without cause.” Now, the company has formalized its response in the form of a nine-figure lawsuit.
“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 suit states. “He is mistaken.” Variety has reached out to a representative for Donaldson for comment.
