CNBC Anchor Accuses Former NBCUniversal CEO of Sexual Harassment and Gender Discrimination

Hadley Gamble, a CNBC anchor and international correspondent, accused former NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell of sexual harassment and gender discrimination in a complaint filed with the media company, his attorney told NBC News on Monday.

Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal, announced Sunday that Shell was leaving the role “immediately” following an investigation by outside legal counsel for “improper conduct.” NBC News and CNBC are both units of NBCUniversal.

The corporation did not specify how Shell had violated company policy. In a separate statement, Shell said he had had an “inappropriate relationship with a woman at the company.”
