The next day, Jason Haber, a real estate agent with Compass, started a Change.org petition demanding that Mr. Parcell resign.
“I reached out to representatives for speakers at their upcoming conferences, asking them to withdraw their speaking slots.
We were putting a lot of pressure on the organization.”Complaints about Mr. Parcell began to surface after Janelle Brevard, a former employee who said she had had a consensual relationship with Mr. Parcell, sued the group for racial and sexual discrimination and harassment.
Ms. Brevard, who is Black, handled the group’s podcasts and videos and much of its marketing materials from 2019 to 2022.
She said that after their relationship ended she was excluded from meetings and business trips and that Mr. Parcell, who is white, threatened to have her fired, according to her lawsuit.
