MrBeast sued for $100m by MrBeast Burger over \u201cdisparaging\u201d comments Instagram: MrBeastYouTube star MrBeast is being counter-sued for $100 million by Virtual Dining Concepts, the company behind Beast Burger restaurants. On June 17, YouTuber MrBeast revealed he\u2019d be \u201cmoving on\u201d from his Beast Burger restaurants in order to shift his focus to his venture in the snack business with his chocolate bar brand Feastables. The move came just after two years after he partnered with Virtual Dining Concepts, launching over 2,000 \u201cghost kitchens\u201d to make Beast Burger available nationwide across the United States. As first reported by Bloomberg, MrBeast has since filed a lawsuit against the company, for their quality control problems, with customers labeling the food as \u2018disgusting\u2019, \u2018revolting,\u2019 and \u2018inedible\u2019. Furthermore, the YouTube star claimed he\u2019s yet to receive payments from the company, meanwhile, the business has made millions of dollars. In return, Virtual Dining Concepts hit back at the suit claiming the complaint is \u201criddled with false statements and inaccuracies\u201d \u2014 and has now filed a countersuit for \u201cfailing to honor his contractual obligations.\u201d Why is MrBeast being sued by MrBeast Burger? VDC labeled MrBeast\u2019s lawsuit as \u201cmeritless\u201d and \u201cill-advised\u201d and claimed the YouTuber had breached his agreement with the company before attempting to negotiate a new deal \u201cto serve his own monetary interests.\u201d According to Variety, Virtual Dining Concepts has now responded with a nine-figure lawsuit. Damages caused by the YouTube star are alleged to exceed $100 million. \u201cThis 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,\u201d the suit reads. \u201cHe is mistaken.\u201d The lawsuit contains examples of deleted tweets from the YouTuber making \u201cdisparaging comments\u201d about both Beast Burger and VDC. With him saying he has more control over the quality of the product, MrBeast has begun focusing more on Feastables. Recently, the brand officially made its way into UK stores, and has been flying off the shelves since.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
