MrBeast Sued For $100 Million Over MrBeast Burger Fiasco

by

MrBeast remains one of the biggest YouTubers in the entire world. Overall, he is someone who has amassed a humongous following. Moreover, if you watch his videos, you know that they are always wild in terms of scale. He spends a lot of money on his production quality, and he always wants to put his best foot forward. Ultimately, this is an incredibly admirable approach. This is especially true when you consider how many of his videos feature philanthropic endeavors.

Recently, we reported that MrBeast was actually suing Virtual Dining Concepts over the perceived failure of MrBeast Burger. For months, MrBeast had been told that his burger chain was serving “disgusting” food. Of course, it is operated out of Ghost Kitchens, which means the YouTube star didn’t have much control over the quality. His lawsuit was a way for him to get out of his deal. Now, however, he is being sued back, as VDC claims he failed to uphold his contractual obligations. This lawsuit is for close to $100 million, which makes the stakes that much higher.

VDC has made it clear that they feel MrBeast’s initial lawsuit is simply “meritless.” Moreover, they have issued a statement within their suit that speaks to how they feel about the content creator. “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,” they say. “He is mistaken.”

Furthermore, VDC is upset with how MrBeast so publically denounced his own burger chain. On numerous occasions, he took to Twitter saying that his reputation was being ruined and that he was unhappy with what became of his endeavor. Needless to say, this war between the YouTube legend and VDC is going to be interesting. Let us know what you think of the situation, in the comments section below.

Chances are that if you’ve used a food delivery app in the last few years, you’ve seen the option to order from MrBeast Burger. The burger chain was founded by the eponymous YouTuber in 2020. However, MrBeast Burger doesn’t actually exist – it’s a ghost kitchen. Initially, the company worked with a handful of vetted brick-and-mortar restaurants that would fulfill orders made through delivery apps like Grubhub and Postmates. However, as the business expanded, the company running it needed more and more suppliers. Reports from several made media outlets have demonstrated how easy it is to earn a “virtual food contract” with MrBeast Burger. The company is operated by Virtual Dining Concepts LLC.

Over the years, this has led to increased complaints of subpar food and delivery standards. Many users report that their food is delivered in unmarked boxes with no visible branding whatsoever. Furthermore, in March 2023, YouTuber Eddy Burback made a now often-cited video about ghost kitchens. The video was heavily influenced by MrBeast Burger and featured the YouTuber in the thumbnail. In July 2023, fans questioned why the MrBeast Burger announcement video had been deleted from YouTube. Donaldson replied, stating that he was “moving on from MrBeast Burger” to “focus on Feastables and making snacks.” He also said he had signed a “bad deal” with Virtual Dining Concepts before the posts were deleted.

MrBeast Goes To Court

On July 31, MrBeast filed a lawsuit against Virtual Dining Concepts, seeking to end their partnership. The lawsuit claims that the YouTuber had consistently raised issues about quality control, which had “fallen on deaf ears” as VDC focused more on expanding the brand as much as they could. “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. Tt was not focused on controlling the quality of the MrBeast Burger customer experience and products.”

“Customers have referred to the burgers as being ‘disgusting,’ ‘revolting,’ and ‘inedible.’ They have claimed that ‘it is sad that MrBeast would put his name on this.” Others said that “MrBeast is being canceled over burgers.” Meanwhile, many said they ‘never had something so nasty;’ ‘inaccurate marketing;’ and ‘very upsetting for the high price.” All these reviews and more were cited in the lawsuit. While many of the YouTuber’s fans have voiced their support for him, not everyone views him as the victim. Many have pointed out that this is the nature of ghost kitchen operations and that the multi-millionaire is merely trying to save face. Neither the YouTuber nor VDC have publicly responded to the lawsuit.
