\n McDonald\u2019s sued its former CEO Steve Easterbrook on Monday, accusing him of lying about sexual relationships he had with three subordinates before he was fired over a separate romance last year.<\/p>\n

The fast-food giant discovered \u201cdozens of nude, partially nude, or sexually explicit\u201d photos and videos in Easterbrook\u2019s corporate email account, proving he had the trio of trysts in the year before his November 2019 ouster, according to the Delaware state court complaint seeking to claw back his exit compensation package.<\/p>\n

When McDonald\u2019s investigated Easterbrook\u2019s brief relationship with a fourth employee that led to his firing, he denied ever being sexually involved with any other company staffers. <\/span>But an anonymous tip the company received last month led to the evidence showing that was a lie, McDonald\u2019s alleges in the lawsuit. <\/span><\/p>\n

Easterbrook also app<\/a>roved an \u201cextraordinary\u201d stock grant worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for one of the women while they were involved, McDonald\u2019s alleged.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe now know that his conduct deviated from our values in different and far more extensive ways than we were aware when he left the company last year,\u201d Chris Kempczinski, the chain\u2019s current chief executive, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s found the racy photos and videos attached to emails Easterbrook sent from his corporate account to his personal address \u2014 messages that he deleted from his company cellphone in a failed attempt to cover up the affairs, the lawsuit says.<\/p>\n

Had it known about the additional relationships \u2014 which violated company policy \u2014 McDonald\u2019s board of directors would not have given Easterbrook a separation agreement that handed him a hefty pile of cash and stock awards on his way out, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Easterbook got the golden parachute because McDonald\u2019s didn\u2019t have enough information to fire him \u201cfor cause,\u201d which would have required the company to show that his actions amounted to \u201cdishonesty, fraud, illegality or moral turpitude,\u201d according to the suit.<\/p>\n

But the three other relationships, the stock grant and Easterbrook\u2019s lies to company investigators are serious enough to meet that high bar, says the lawsuit, which asks a judge to either award the company damages or cancel Easterbrook\u2019s separation agreement. McDonald\u2019s said it has also taken action to stop Easterbook from exercising stock options or selling company shares.<\/p>\n

\u201cEasterbrook\u2019s silence and lies \u2014 a clear breach of the duty of candor \u2014 were calculated to induce the company to separate him on terms much more favorable to him than those the company would have offered and agreed to had it known the full truth of his behavior,\u201d the complaint says.<\/p>\n

Calls to two phone numbers listed under Easterbrook\u2019s name went unanswered Monday. McDonald\u2019s shares slid as much as 1 percent to $202.54 on news<\/a> of the lawsuit Monday.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
