Jeff Shell has been removed as CEO of NBCUniversal effective immediately due to an “inappropriate relationship” with a female employee, according to a statement from parent company Comcast.“Today is my last day as CEO of NBCUniversal,” Shell wrote in a memo to staff. “I had an inappropriate relationship with a woman in the company, which I deeply regret.
I’m truly sorry I let my Comcast and NBCUniversal colleagues down, they are the most talented people in the business and the opportunity to work with them the last 19 years has been a privilege.”In its statement, Comcast says that NBCUniversal and Shell mutually agreed to part ways “following the Company’s investigation led by outside counsel into a complaint of inappropriate conduct.” The identity of the female employee has not been disclosed.
Shell is the second executive in the past three years to depart NBCUniversal over inappropriate conduct, as former vice chairman Ron Meyer left the company in August 2020 over an extramarital affair with actress Charlotte Kirk.
