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.

“She also gave advice on how he should engage with President Trump in 2017 that was at odds with some executives who urged Mr. Plank to keep his distance,”

I never met a female executive that I like or trusted. Most bang their way to the top and once there have no idea what they’re doing but they love the power. And they get hysterical really easy. I saw one to the big chicken and nearly had a nervous breakdown. I’m talking screaming and ranting like she was some deranged dictator...

Not to be sexist or anything, but what’s with these Rich Dudes going after Middle Aged Women who would rate a 5 to 7 in Hotness? Not a Bo Derek (in her heyday) amongst them.

I guess experience counts for something, especially on the Trailer Hitch / Chrome Scale.

Ducking for cover...

Grew up as in having Affairs with not so attractive Married Women with Children?

If you’re going to go for it, go big or go home.

Under Armour is dead to me. He’s also a Trump backstabber

I said growing up "at least a little bit." With a slight emphasis on the "little bit."

I don't think what Plank or Bezos did is very mature or responsible, but at least they may be grown up enough that bedding 20-year olds isn't that much of a challenge.

“unusual and problematic”

Problematic? Probably so. Unusual? Probably not, and I don’t want the details needed to make such a determination.
