Byron Allen’s $10B Discrimination Suit Against McDonald’s For Refusing To Advertise On Black-Owned Media Moves Forward
In December 2021, U.S. District Judge Fernando Olguin of Los Angeles dismissed Allen’s discrimination case against the fast food chain, saying that the complaint failed to “allege sufficient facts that would support an inference that defendants intentionally and purposefully discriminated against them,” as reported by The New York Post. Allen amended the suit and the following month, Judge Fernando Olguin gave Allen the go ahead to proceed again.
McDonald’s Corp was given the opportunity to file a motion to dismiss, which they did, however, Judge Olguin has decided to allow Allen the chance to make his case.
