Hadley Gamble, the CNBC anchor who accused former NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell of sexual harassment and sex discrimination, is leaving the company, a CNBC spokesperson says.
Gamble’s lawyer, Suzanne McKie, did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment on her client’s departure. Gamble did not immediately respond to an email at her company account or a message on Twitter. Shell did not immediately respond to an email.
“During the investigation, evidence was uncovered that corroborated the allegations,” the filing went on to say. “As a consequence, on April 23, 2023, the Company terminated Mr. Shell’s employment With Cause under his employment agreement, effective immediately.” Gamble covered energy, geopolitics and financial markets, according to a profile on CNBC’s website. She was the anchor of CNBC’s “Capital Connection,” a show that broadcast daily from the network’s Middle East headquarters in the United Arab Emirates.
Shell was named as successor to former NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke in late 2019 and formally stepped into the role in January 2020. He was previously the chairman of the company’s film and entertainment unit. He oversaw a sprawling portfolio of media assets that includes the Universal Pictures film studio, the Peacock streaming service and cable channels such as Bravo, E! and the USA Network.
