Overview

  • NBCUniversal insiders are questioning the company's treatment of women following the sudden ouster of CEO Jeff Shell.
  • NBC has famously refused to enlist independent investigators in the past, leading some media insiders to find it strange that Shell's departure came after an outside firm probed his affair.
  • Shell's departure has exposed his hypocrisy, as he had announced the exit of former NBCUniversal executive Ron Meyer for engaging in an inappropriate relationship.
  • CNBC International anchor Hadley Gamble filed the sexual harassment and sex discrimination complaint against Shell, and reports indicate that they had a fling for over a decade prior to her complaint.
  • Comcast executives commented on the departure of NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell, who was forced out due to an "inappropriate relationship" with a subordinate.
