the relationship between MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle and Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank, alleging the two are having an affair.

...

MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle’s relationship with Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank raised eyebrows when a Wall Street Journal report Thursday detailed the cable news host’s alleged affair -- including everything from allegedly using NBC News to run damage control for Under Armour to offering advice on dealing with President Trump.

The report by Khadeeja Safdar headlined, “Meet Under Armour CEO’s Unusual Adviser: An MSNBC Anchor,” details Ruhle’s relationship with the workout gear honcho that includes flying on his private jet and offering her expertise on a variety of business issues.

...

employees were “unsure how to handle her feedback because many people believed she was romantically involved” with the married Plank.

...

Ruhle, a banker-turned-cable news host who is also married, reportedly ruffled feathers within the board of Plank’s company.

...

MSNBC host offered advice to Plank on a critical 2016 public relations debacle. The report states Plank listen to Ruhle instead of his own management when Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry’s signature sneaker was widely mocked on social media.

“Under Armour employees wanted to react on social media in the first 24 hours, but were asked to hold off on addressing the issue publicly because Ms. Ruhle said she would step in and discuss the shoes on TV,” the Journal reported. “Ruhle discussed the shoes that weekend on an NBC show.”

Ruhle has been an outspoken critic of the president as a key figure at the liberal MSNBC.

As I have often declared, “growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional”. Having observed people who consider themselves to be grown up I am confident that I have chosen wisely by refusing to do so.

It looks more like a real adult relationship within a peer group. Not some CEO with a secretary 30 years his junior or a serious news anchor with her intern boy-toy. “Consenting adults” with neither in a position of (obvious) power over the other.

Your words your thoughts. I was referring to the corporate executive types I’ve had the unfortunate experience to come into contact with.

What type of advice could she offer about Trump other than character assassination and lying? It would be like asking Robert Mugabe for advice on white people.
