Former McDonald's CEO asks court to dismiss case against him McDonald’s former CEO is asking a court to dismiss the company’s lawsuit against him, calling it “meritless and misleading.”McDonald’s former CEO is asking a court to dismiss the company’s lawsuit against him, calling it “meritless and misleading.”Chicago-based McDonald’s sued Stephen Easterbrook last week, seeking to reclaim millions of dollars in compensation paid to him. McDonald’s fired Easterbrook without cause last November after he admitted to exchanging videos and text messages in a consensual, non-physical relationship with an employee. McDonald’s said it has since found that Easterbrook had sexual relationships with three employees and destroyed evidence. McDonald’s rejected Easterbrook’s arguments Monday. “McDonald’s stands by its complaint, both the factual assertions and the court in which it was filed,” a spokesperson for the company said.
