Miyoko's answer to original complaint. She denied or admitted their causes of action. What's interesting is that she denied there are trade secrets. Makes sense as she published a cookbook in 2012 titled Artisan Vegan Cheese with all her cheese recipes. Miyoko owns her cheese recipes though maybe not liquid moz because that's newer.

Miyoko's counterclaim. A small fyi she actually formed the company December 2013 per her corporation statement. Suit says 2014. Rene Weber appears to be the man who allegedly denigrates women with the help of a few others i.e., James Joaquin of Obvious Ventures, John Kenney of Cult Capital, Daniel Gluck of PowerPlant Partners, John Zabrodsky hired by PowerPlant Partners, see below. I've noticed that venture capitalists tend to be part of the boys club. I've seen this behavior in public companies when venture capitalists get appointed to boards. The company made some horrible moves in this lawsuit and press release. I think the boys were behind it. They clearly don't know how to run a business especially an ethical plant based business founded by a much loved and respected woman. The company continues to use Miyoko's photos, likeness against her wishes after she sent cease and desist letters. It bothers me to see the business website today with her photos and story plastered all over it. It's good she never sold or gave that to the business especially because she didn't even get a golden handshake.

6. MISAPPROPRIATION OF NAME AND LIKENESS

Below is just the main part of the main claim and factual events.

INTRODUCTION

1. Defendant and Counterclaimant Miyoko Schinner (“Miyoko”) is a

groundbreaking, beloved creator of popular plant-based cheeses and butter,

motivated by her passion to save animals and the planet. In 2014, she founded

Miyoko’s Kitchen (now Miyoko’s Creamery), a revolutionary, multi-million dollar

plant-based food corporation. Due to her hard work and under Miyoko’s

leadership, the company – Plaintiff and Counterdefendant Miyoko’s, PBC (“MP”)

– grew exponentially and exceeded all expectations year after year. Miyoko won

several awards and, in 2021, was named in Forbes Magazines’s 50 over 50. To

this day, MP acknowledges that Miyoko’s “passion for her craft and mission is

unrivaled.”1

2. In 2021, MP hired René Weber, an executive who singled out and openly

denigrated women, especially Miyoko, making it impossible for her to continue to

effectively do her job. On behalf of herself and other women at MP, Miyoko

complained to HR. MP swiftly retaliated against Miyoko by demoting her and then

terminating her.

3. To this day, MP continues to prominently display Miyoko’s name and

likeness on its website, despite its knowledge that it had no right to do so. MP has

flatly ignored her cease and desist letters demanding the removal of her likeness

from its websites.

4. Miyoko brings her Counterclaims against MP for unlawful employment

practices, including gender discrimination and retaliation, and for its unlawful use

of her likeness on its website without her consent. MP must now be held

accountable for the harm it caused her and continues to cause her.

FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

8. Over the past four decades, Miyoko has written vegan cookbooks, taught

cooking classes, opened and sold a vegan restaurant (called Now & Zen) and

launched a vegan natural foods company and vegan brands, including a competitor

to Tofurky. In 2012, she published Artisan Vegan Cheese, the seminal cookbook

that put vegan cheesemaking on the map.

9. In September 2014, Miyoko’s Kitchen, the vegan creamery company she

founded, went live online. Three days later, it had more than 500 unique orders,

averaging $100 each. Miyoko, who had earlier envisioned opening a little cheese

shop, began selling to distributors. The rest of the story is playing out today at

30,000 retailers, including Whole Foods and Target, both nationwide and

internationally. MP now has a current valuation of $260 million.

10. In January of 2021, MP hired Rene Weber to be VP of Operations. Mr.

Weber immediately began a campaign of mistreating women who worked at MP,

including Miyoko, by excluding them from meetings, denying them information

they needed, berating them publicly and privately, and otherwise making it

difficult to impossible to do their jobs. Mr. Weber openly denigrated women, their

expertise, and their contributions at MP, calling some “stupid” and “terrible.” He

did not use these condescending terms with men. On several occasions, he

mansplained to Miyoko that she did not understand her own products or MP, the

company she founded. In a markedly gendered tone, he described her ideas and

ambition as unrealistic, driven by emotion and whim.

11. Miyoko, then CEO of MP, often complained to James Joaquin (Co-

Founder & Managing Director of Obvious Ventures, an investor of MP) and John

Kenney (Co-Founder at Cult Capital, an investor of MP) about Mr. Weber’s

condescending behavior to her which she believed was due to her gender.

12. In December 2021, John Zabrodsky, an operations consultant hired by

MP at the behest of PowerPlant Partners (MP’s lead investor), presented a report

on MP operations in a meeting wherein he addressed Miyoko in a very

condescending manner. He would not have addressed her in this manner had

Miyoko not been a woman. Miyoko complained about Mr. Zabrodsky’s gendered

behavior to an executive at PowerPlant Partners.

13. In early 2022, after Miyoko made multiple complaints about Mr.

Weber’s mistreatment of women, MP directed her to promote Mr. Weber to the

position of Chief Operating Officer due to its concerns that he was a “flight risk.”

Mr. Kenney acknowledged Miyoko’s prior complaints of Mr. Weber’s

mistreatment of women at MP, but he told her that we “could not afford to lose”

Mr. Weber and that MP needed to promote Mr. Weber. Another executive noted to

Miyoko that Mr. Weber was “our key to get to $200 million” in sales.

14. In January of 2022, at a Board meeting, Miyoko reported Mr.

Zabrodsky’s gendered behavior to Daniel Gluck (Managing Partner of PowerPlant

Partners), Mr. Kenney, Mr. Joaquin and Mr. Weber. Mr. Gluck quickly rebuffed

her by saying, “I don’t know about any misogyny, but we need to discuss [Mr.

Zabrodsky’s operations] report. What else does it say?”

15. In February 2022, Miyoko complained to Lisa Feria (an MP Board

member and Managing Partner & CEO at Stray Dog Capital, an investor of MP)

about gendered treatment against her by members of the Board. Miyoko perceived

much of this gendered treatment when it doubted her capabilities as CEO and

sought to hire a President to seize much of her responsibilities. Ms. Feria confided

in Miyoko about feeling ineffective and ignored by the male Board members in

meetings.

16. In late May of 2022, Miyoko complained to MP’s then Director of HR

about gendered treatment from Jorge Couce, a Senior Director at MP. Upon

information and belief, HR never investigated Miyoko’s gender discrimination

complaint.

17. On June 9, 2022, MP’s Board removed Miyoko from MP’s CEO role.

Miyoko remained as MP’s Board Chair and as a MP employee. Jon Blair, MP’s

Chief Financial Officer, stepped into the role of interim President to guide the

transition and run day-to-day operations.

18. On June 14, 2022, Miyoko emailed Mr. Blair to complain about Mr.

Weber. She stated in the email:

We lost two female employees due to [Mr. Weber’s]

mistreatment of them – I found an email from Louis [Kanganis]

about one of them, actually. He was going to fire another

female in his department earlier this year, someone who has

been here for years and while not stellar, has been a good

member of the team and is willing to do anything despite her

age and family issues. I was able to put a stop to that. He has a

dismissive way with female employees that is not good.

19. On July 9, 2022, Miyoko confirmed her prior oral complaints of gender

discrimination in an email to Ms. Feria, presenting a “timeline of misses, issues,

and other problems in [her] assessment of [Mr. Weber].” She wrote, in part:

At least 8 women have complained about [Mr. Weber’s]

rudeness, arrogance, and dismissive attitude. It is well known

that his demeanor toward them contributed to the parting of at

least two [names omitted]. Others were too afraid to complain

about him because he wields so much power. Tight with the HR

Director, making it difficult for low-level employees to do

anything. On a number of occasions, employees have come to

me with problems or complaints that had fallen on deaf ears

with HR or Ops. When I reported the complaints, and HR

would do an “investigation,” and the fault invariably fell with

those complaining, while those complained about were found

innocent. He has openly criticized a number of female

employees to me, calling them “not good,” “stupid,” “terrible,”

etc. One employee apparently reported leaving because of

“integrity issues” with René and Jorge. Prior to my

“reassignment,” I reported to René that it had come to my

attention that 4 women recently had felt dismissed or

disrespected by Jorge. He seemed surprised and told me to file

a complaint with HR, which I did. There was time to get back

to me on this before my vacation, and assuming that Lenora had

not been informed I had been fired, but she nor René never did.

20. Just a few days later, on July 28, 2022 MP terminated Miyoko’s

employment entirely. MP set August 12, 2022 as the effective termination date.

21. MP’s termination of Miyoko’s employment was an act of retaliation for

her complaints of discrimination against Mr. Weber and Mr. Zabrodsky. Indeed,

Mr. Joaquin earlier characterized Miyoko’s attempts to hold Mr. Weber

accountable for his misconduct as “irrational.” It bothered MP executives that

Miyoko stood up for her rights and the rights of other women in the company,

demanding respectful treatment and refusing to conform to the stereotype of a

docile, complacent, obedient Asian-American woman. Miyoko was not acceptable

to them as a person with decision-making power and authority in the company. It

was only the image of her celebrity status and prominence in the vegan and food

worlds which MP continues to use in branding and marketing that MP desired to

retain.

22. After Miyoko’s termination, Mr. Blair advised her that she could keep

the keys to MP’s premises and that she could keep her two company laptops.

23. MP never obtained the right to use Miyoko’s name, image and likeness

after her termination. Yet MP used Miyoko’s name, image and likeness on its

website and on a food truck that was about to commence a multi-week tour from

California to Austin. In August 18, 2022, Miyoko, through her legal counsel,

demanded that MP cease and desist its use and exploitation of her publicity rights.

After receiving no response, Miyoko, through her legal counsel, again demanded

that MP cease and desist its use and exploitation of her publicity rights. To this

day, MP has willfully refused to comply – Miyoko’s name, image and likeness

remains on its website and the food truck completed the multi-week tour from

California to Austin.

24. MP has excluded Miyoko from Board meetings and from her rights as a

director to “inspect and copy all books, records and documents of every kind” as

provided by California Corporations Code section 8334.

Here is video of Rene Weber saying Miyoko made all the recipes and built the business to what it is today June 2022. He said their cheese isn't an empty product made out of oil and starch, like the shreds? This guy doesn't seem to be into animals.He says the cheese is good for you and the planet. What about the animals? They don't have to be treated cruelly then killed. He's allegedly a Swiss master cheese maker. He appears to be pro dairy and pro dairy cheese. Here is his resume. He's from Bern. https://rocketreach.co/rene-weber-email_98230149

March 1, 2023 Miyoko Schinner hired Lisa Bloom to represent her in the lawsuit.

https://breakthesilence.substack.com/p/miyoko-schinner-retains-lisa-bloom

Here is the complaint against Miyoko Schinner. It's a public document.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/10ZG7FpuwJdODjByVl11i-9hMt_5b_UrX/view?usp=sharing 

Summary of lawsuit: Miyoko Schinner started Miyoko's, Miyoko's Kitchen, Miyoko's Creamery in 2013. It was incorporated in California and merged into a new Delaware corporation in 2019 as Miyoko's Kitchen Inc and Miyoko's PBC. Miyoko Schinner is an award-winning Vegan celebrity chef who developed the best vegan butter and cheeses while writing vegan cheese cookbooks. Through her many years of very hard work she made her company into a $250,000,000 company getting her product in all the major grocery stores and markets. She is a well respected business woman in her field. She also runs Rancho Compasion.

Miyoko's sought out venture capital starting in 2016 in order to expand production due to high demand. When you accept venture capital they expect a few seats on the board of directors. Miyoko's Creamery is a B Corporation and a Public Benefit PBC corporation. June 2022 the board voted to fire Miyoko Schinner as the CEO of Miyoko's. She was demoted to another position and stayed with the company and on the board as Chairman of the Board. There was expected to be negotiations on a separation, rearrangement with the company. That didn't happen and then the company fired Miyoko outright. 

February 2023 the company sued Miyoko for allegedly taking trade secrets and records. Later that month Miyoko hired Lisa Bloom to represent her. There will most likely be a counter suit. 

My personal opinion is that the finance guys on the board just wanted to make more profits. I think this had to do with Miyoko discontinuing the shreds and slices March 2022. "She would never approve an oil and starch product with no nutritional value. She admitted that the corporation had done so in order to “play the game.” She described the items as “compromises to the brand’s values and product guardrails.” " "In deciding to pull the product off the marketplace, we had to make the decision to take a hit to our revenues in order to re-establish our brand values.” I don't know anyone on the inside so this is just my speculation based on timing. She was fired, demoted three months later at the next board meeting.

Whatever the case the company should not have sued Miyoko. At the very minimum they should not have put everything they did in writing in the public lawsuit including her working agreement. They should have filed a vague suit then both parties could have agreed to keep all discovery, exhibits under seal. Sounds like some young finance guys thinking they're the Wolves of Wall Street making big mistakes. They are harming profits more than eliminating shreds and slices.

Company press release February 16,2023 about the lawsuit.
