MrBeast is suing his food-delivery-service partner.
On Monday, the content creator and philanthropist, 25, filed a lawsuit against Virtual Dining Concepts alleging “inedible” and “low quality” food, court documents obtained by PEOPLE show.
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, claims the company, which he partnered with in 2020 to launch MrBeast Burger, has damaged his brand and reputation as a result of its service.
“Virtual Dining Concepts was more focused on rapidly expanding the business as a way to pitch the virtual restaurant model to other celebrities for its own benefit, it was not focused on controlling the quality of the MrBeast Burger customer experience and products,” the complaint alleges.
Virtual Dining Concepts did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
The lawsuit, which was filed in New York, also alleges MrBeast’s “complaints about quality control fell on deaf ears.”
“As a result, MrBeast Burger has been regarded as a misleading, poor reflection of the MrBeast brand that provides low-quality products to customers that are delivered late, in unbranded packaging, fail to include the ordered items, and in some instances, were inedible,” the complaint continues.
