Portland Timbers End DaBella Sponsorship Amid CEO's Harassment Allegations

The termination follows a lawsuit exposing allegations against DaBella's CEO and adds to the Timbers' history of dealing with misconduct issues.

The Portland Timbers have terminated their sponsorship deal with DaBella Exteriors after allegations of sexual harassment by the company's CEO, Donnie McMillan Jr., were reported.
The lawsuit against McMillan and DaBella, which brought the allegations to light, was filed by a former chief financial officer seeking unpaid wages.
The termination of the sponsorship will have significant financial implications for the Timbers, including the removal of DaBella's logo from team jerseys and stadium signage.
The Timbers had conducted a thorough pre-deal vetting process but were unaware of the allegations until they were made public.
This decision follows a history of the Timbers organization dealing with allegations of misconduct, including a 2022 investigation into sexual coercion and workplace toxicity.
