CNBC anchor Hadley Gamble accused Jeff Shell of sexual harassment and sex discrimination in a complaint that led to his ousting as NBCUniversal CEO, her lawyer has said.
Shell left his role at the company after an investigation into his conduct was launched around a month ago, it was revealed on Sunday.
NBCUniversal did not say who had made the complaint, but media reports suggested it had been filed by Gamble after an on-off relationship between the pair had ended a few years' ago.
Gamble's lawyers subsequently confirmed this in a statement. 'The investigation into Mr Shell arose from a complaint by my client of sexual harassment and sex discrimination,' said Suzanne McKie, a managing partner of Farore Law, a UK-based firm.
'Given these circumstances it is very disappointing that my client's name has been released and her privacy violated.'
Shell, who is married to Laura Fay Shell, admitted he had had an 'inappropriate relationship' with a member of staff, which he said he 'deeply regret[s]'.
The details of his affair with Gamble, 41, are not known publicly.
The CNBC anchor moved to front the channel's Middle East coverage in 2018 after it began broadcasting Capital Connection from its new studio in Abu Dhabi.
She previously worked for ABC News and Fox News in Washington, DC and also presented CNBC's Access show on the Middle East and Africa.
The high-flying news anchor grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee, the daughter of a car dealer and teacher, and attended Halls High School in the city.

She is voluptuous, but has issues.
looked, not voluptuous, not worth the effort.
How do you sue someone you have willingly been having an affair with for years? The guy was dumb, but should not have been fired.
Hell hath no fury....
If there is a consensual relationship, why not fire both? Under current practice, a woman can use such a relationship to get ahead either through favoritism and/or blackmail, toss the guy under the bus when it is beneficial to her, and retain her job.
Her feet are huge.
