This clarification comes after a Daily Mail article reporting on Easterbrook’s firing and his affair with a McDonald’s employee was published with two images: one of Easterbrook posing with Ronald McDonald, and, bafflingly, a second in which he’s standing beside Chrissy Teigen at a 2017 event, with the caption: “Easterbrook acknowledged he had a relationship with an unnamed employee in an email to staff, calling it a ‘mistake’ (pictured with Chrissy Teigen in 2017).”
