and videos with 3 coworkers via his company email, a new lawsuit from the fast-food giant claims

McDonald's says that Easterbrook used his company email account to exchange and then delete emails containing "dozens of nude, partially nude, or sexually explicit photographs and videos of various women."
McDonald's said that had it known about the true extent of Easterbrook's conduct, it would never have agreed to let him resign, and instead would have terminated him.
A new lawsuit filed by McDonald's says that former CEO Steve Easterbrook used his corporate email to conduct sexual relationships with three employees in 2018 and 2019.
The lawsuit, filed on Monday in the state of Delaware, states that Easterbrook lied about and attempted to hide evidence of his affairs with three employees, deleting emails containing "dozens of nude, partially nude, or sexually explicit photographs and videos of various women" from his company phone while under investigation in 2019.
The emails also show that Easterbrook granted "hundreds of thousands of dollars" worth of restricted stock units to one employee shortly after two sexual encounters, according to the complaint.
Unknown to Easterbrook, the exchanged emails were not deleted from McDonald's company servers – and were later discovered in July 2020 following an anonymous tip. McDonald's says the photographs are "undisputable evidence" that Easterbrook repeatedly violated and lied about violating company policy. Easterbrook additionally sent emailed attachments from his corporate account to his personal email account, McDonald's said.
"Easterbrook's silence and lies — a clear breach of the duty of candor — 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," the lawsuit reads.
McDonald's says that had it known of the extent of Easterbrook's conduct, it would have "terminated Easterbrook for cause" instead of allowing him to resign.
