Hollywood Reporter ^ | 04/23/2023 | Abbey White

NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell is departing the company following an investigation into misconduct involving an “inappropriate relationship.”

Comcast and Shell jointly announced the news Sunday in a statement that noted the two “have mutually agreed” on the decision. Shell will depart effective immediately. The decision follows a company-led investigation conducted by outside counsel “into a complaint of inappropriate conduct.”

“Today is my last day as CEO of NBCUniversal. I had an inappropriate relationship with a woman in the company, which I deeply regret,” Shell said in his own statement. “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 the role of CEO, Shell was responsible for overseeing the company’s wide portfolio, which includes news and entertainment television networks, the Universal film studio, as well as significant TV and sports production operations, the television stations group, theme parks and more. ***

Good for Comcast.

Consistency over time, however, is the real test. This is a matter of enforcing a culture of respect, restraint and professionalism.

There are plenty of other companies, most of them not in the film industry, that need to clean up their acts as well.

And don’t get me started on the universities.

Jeff Shell is a despicable scoundrel.

This sleaze cheated on his wife with a coworker. A low act. I feel sorry for his children. A total disgrace.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I can’t recall a similar outcome for an adulterous homosexual relationship. Now why would that be?
