In-N-Out Sues YouTuber It Says Posed as Employee, Made ‘Bizarre and Lewd’ Comments

  • On June 20, 2025, In-N-Out filed a federal lawsuit in Santa Ana against YouTuber Bryan Arnett for impersonating employees and making lewd remarks in prank videos.
  • The lawsuit was filed after Arnett released a video on April 25 in which he impersonated an In-N-Out staff member at several locations across Southern California, leading the company to issue a cease-and-desist notice on May 2.
  • In the videos, Arnett made false statements, offered fake menus, asked personal questions, and filmed customers without consent, actions In-N-Out says damaged its brand.
  • In a response video, Arnett acknowledged that the situation might be frustrating but expressed a sense of acceptance about the outcome, also admitting that he was taking a risk.
  • If In-N-Out wins, Arnett could face a lifetime ban from all locations and financial damages, while the company seeks a restraining order and trial by jury.
