McDonald’s has defeated a lawsuit from the Allen Media Group accusing the fast food giant of lying when it pledged to increase national ad spending with Black-owned outlets to boost sales and avoid high-profile legal action over alleged racial discrimination near the height of the Black Lives Matter movement.
A Los Angeles judge on Sunday dismissed the suit, finding that McDonald’s will likely win the case if it’s allowed to proceed, since the company still has more time to live up to its vow.
Louis Miller, a lawyer representing Allen Media Group, said the ruling will be appealed. He stressed that California law bars “companies from making false statements to the public.”
McDonald’s in a statement said that the court’s dismissal proves that “this was just another frivolous lawsuit brought by Byron Allen as part of his smear campaign against” the company.

Amanda Seyfried, Shiloh Fernandez, Max Irons, Adrian Holmes, with director Catherine Hardwicke were in London to promote their new film Red Riding Hood, a twist on the well known fairytale, and we were invited along to a special round table with the cast and crew.
First up were director Catherine Hardwicke, and Adrian Holmes who plays the Captain.
What did you think was special about this story?
Catherine Hardwicke: Leonardo DiCaprio’s company had written this script, and I guess they thought it would fun and interesting to go back to the original roots, even before the Brothers Grimm, when there was a werewolf in the story. It is an intricate tale, with different levels of symbolism… so I said ‘Yeah, sign me up!’
Why do you think forbidden love works so well?
Ch: I guess if you have a happy love story then it’s kind of boring!
