  • The lawsuit accuses the fast food giant of violating federal and state civil rights laws by maintaining a separate, lower ad tier for companies that produce content aimed at a Black audience.

Byron Allen, through his companies Allen Media Group and Entertainment Studios Networks, has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against McDonald's, alleging racial discrimination in the fast-food giant's advertising practices. The lawsuit claims that McDonald's has not met its commitment to increase ad spending with Black-owned media, which was part of a 2021 pledge to allocate 5% of its ad budget to such outlets. Despite McDonald's efforts to dismiss the case, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has ruled that the lawsuit will proceed to trial.

This legal battle highlights broader issues of racial equity in corporate advertising and media spending.
