The lawsuit comes after Donaldson filed court documents where he slammed the quality of the burger.
He reportedly wanted to cancel the agreement and claimed the burgers tasted “inedible.”
In the lawsuit, internet sensation Donaldson alleged that his reputation had been damaged.
Chiefs at VDC claimed the court documents the influencer filed were “meritless.”

They also said that Donaldson had tried to negotiate a new agreement.
The company told Variety: “The complaint is riddled with false statements and inaccuracies and is a thinly veiled attempt to distract from Mr. Donaldson’s and Beast Investments’ breaches of the agreements between the parties, including Mr. Donaldson’s recent false, disparaging statements regarding the MrBeast Burger brand and VDC.”
Pictures posted on social media showed some burgers which were apparently raw in the center.
VDC had vowed that Donaldson “must be held to his word” and accountable for his actions, per court docs seen by The U.S. Sun.
The docs explained that the company organized a trial pop-up in November 2020 in Wilson, North Carolina, where MrBeast and his pals handed out free meals and prizes.
MrBeast posted a YouTube clip that featured the event and became the number one trending video on the site.
Partnerships with around 300 restaurants were secured in the months that followed.
The documents said: “Within three months after launching, it was apparent that the Brand was an extraordinary success.”
VDC has claimed that MrBeast was “determined to lever his fame and platform” rather than being a “responsible and mature” business partner, according to the docs.
The burger joint launched with a bang after the YouTuber handed out wads of cash with every smash burger and an order of crinkle-cut fries.
But, in June, he appeared to hint that the brand was being discontinued.
Replying to one Twitter user, he said: “The problem with Beast Burger is I can’t guarantee the quality of the order.
"When working with other restaurants it’s impossible to control it sadly.”
He said he enjoyed producing Feastables 100 times more.
Feastibles was launched by Donaldson in January 2022.
