McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook was fired for inappropiate relationships with his employees.
CNN reports that McDonald's is now suing Easterbrook.
In a lawsuit the company alleges Easterbrook lied to the board about the extent of his relationships with employees.
McDonald's says he misled investigators about engaging in physical sexual relationships with three employees in the year before his ouster.
The company is suing Easterbrook for the amount of his exit package: about $40 million.
