The Portland Timbers have abruptly ended their corporate partnership with DaBella, the club announced today.

DaBella, a home improvement contractor in Hillsboro, became the team’s new jersey sponsor this season after the Timbers ended their previous partnership with Alaska Airlines.

A former executive has accused the DaBella CEO, Donnie McMillan Jr., of unwanted advances and sexual harassment of at least three female employees, according to court documents first reported by The Oregonian. The allegations surfaced in a court filing on Feb. 23.
