Report: Washington’s cheerleading director removed as team brings in rebranding consultant

A new report shows that the Washington Football Team is putting a pause on its cheerleading program, with the Cheerleading Director, Jamilla Keene, being removed from her position.

According to the report from WUSA9, the program say they are re-envisioning the program and are going to take the team to another form. The team is bringing in a consultant from Carnival Cruise for rebranding, according to the source.

This news comes after a months-long investigation into the team’s alleged mistreatment of female employees. There were stories of cheerleaders being mistreated and asked to do things by ownership that led to sexual harassment allegations. Haynes reports that it is not clear if the removal of Keene has anything to do with the investigation, which is reportedly coming to an end.
