A new lawsuit, filed Tuesday in federal court, accuses the trade group of racial and sexual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingwire.com\/tag\/discrimination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">discrimination<\/a> and alleges that NAR president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/kenny-parcell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kenny Parcell<\/a> harassed female employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lawsuit\u2019s plaintiff, Janelle Brevard, claims that she was fired from her position as NAR\u2019s chief storyteller after breaking off a relationship with Parcell in June 2022 and speaking to lawyers about his alleged sexual harassment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The complaint also argues that Brevard, who is Black, was singled out due to her race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While mentioned by name several times throughout the complaint, Parcell is not named as a defendant in the suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During her tenure as NAR\u2019s chief storyteller from August 2019 until September 2022, Brevard never had any performance or disciplinary issues, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The complaint states the Brevard\u2019s relationship with Parcell began when he was serving as NAR\u2019s president-elect and it involved \u201csexually explicit conversations as well as Parcell\u2019s request for sexual favors.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brevard also has \u201cvarious text messages, photos and other items evidencing the sexual relationship\u201d with Parcell, according to the filing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The complaint states that in June 2022, Brevard told Parcell she no longer wished to continue the relationship \u2014 and that Parcell \u201cthreatened to retaliate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpecifically, Parcell would exclude plaintiff from meetings plaintiff would normally attend; he excluded plaintiff from business trips she would normally attend; Parcell would disparage plaintiff at every turn; and Parcell even made several threats to plaintiff that he would terminate her employment,\u201d the complaint, which refers to Brevard as the plaintiff, reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The complaint states that three months later, in September 2022, Brevard was called into a meeting and told she was fired for not disclosing her relationship with Parcell. The complaint notes that this occurred just after Brevard met with attorneys to discusses alleged sexual harassment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Brevard was allegedly not the only female employee to meet with attorneys to discuss Parcell\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the complaint, three other women, who are all white, met with attorneys to discuss allegations that include \u201csending lewd text messages and photos, forcibly placing a female staff member\u2019s hands on his genitals and publicly berating and refusing to work with a pregnant staff member.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The complaint argues to that due to this, the NAR \u201cdoes not have a legitimate, non-retaliatory reason for\u201d firing Brevard and that NAR \u201cdiscriminated against plaintiff based on her race.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suit alleges six different counts of racial and sexual discrimination, harassment and retaliation in total and asks the court to award Brevard lost pay and benefits, reinstate her job, and award her compensation for pain, suffering, and emotional damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNAR prides itself on being a welcoming and inclusive environment for all our employees,\u201d Mantill Williams, NAR\u2019s vice president of communications, wrote in an email. \u201cIt is our practice to fully investigate all claims that are brought to our attention and take action, as warranted. We reject the claims filed in this lawsuit and we will vigorously defend against them.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attorney listed for the plaintiff did not return a request for comment prior to the time of publication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lawsuit filed Tuesday claims that NAR fired a Black staffer after she broke off a relationship with then president-elect
