The allegations against the Alexander brothers have dealt a significant blow to Official Partners' image and business pipeline. Two women have filed separate civil lawsuits accusing Oren Alexander and another brother, Alon, of raping them over a decade ago. A third woman has also alleged that Tal and Alon Alexander raped her in 2012, while Oren Alexander watched. The brothers have denied the allegations.
In response to the controversy, Official Partners has distanced itself from the Alexanders. Nicole Oge, the company's chief growth officer, announced that Oren Alexander was immediately isolated from the business and that the process of removing him from ownership is underway. Tal Alexander has also taken a leave of absence from the firm to focus on clearing his name.
The controversy has already led to several high-profile clients distancing themselves from Official Partners. JDS Development Group plans to remove the company from the sales assignment for 888 Brickell, a high-rise condo tower in Miami. Michael Shvo, a builder planning a luxury condo project at the Raleigh hotel in Miami Beach, has also dropped Official from the development's marketing efforts.
McKillen's departure is a significant blow to Official Partners, which had heralded his arrival at the firm in early 2023. He was credited with overseeing a team that had tallied $1.8 billion of pricey home sales. His exit will likely deal a further blow to the company's reputation and business prospects.
