💥 Byron Allen DESTROYS McDonalds: $10 Billion Lawsuit Victory! 🏆mcdonaldsshorts [EHyj1hk3Gt7]
Billionaire media mogul Byron Allen filed a $10 billion racial discrimination lawsuit against McDonald’s in 2021, the very same day the company publicly pledged to increase its ad spending with Black-owned media from 2% to 5% by 2024. Allen said McDonald’s had been locking Black-owned media companies out of its main advertising budget and placing them in a separate, unequal tier. Despite the company’s public promises, Allen claimed they never followed through—and that’s when he took legal action. In June 2025, just weeks before the case was set to go to trial, McDonald’s agreed to settle both the $10 billion federal suit and a $100 million state case. As part of the agreement, McDonald’s committed to buying ads at market value from Allen’s media companies, including Entertainment Studios and The Weather Group. While they admitted no wrongdoing, the settlement marked a major win for Black media and corporate accountability.#shorts
