Jeff Shell, the chief executive of NBCUniversal, is leaving the company after an investigation into an inappropriate workplace relationship, the company’s owner, Comcast, said in a statement on Sunday.
In the statement, Mr. Shell said that today would be his last day and that he had “an inappropriate relationship with a woman in the company.”
“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.”
Comcast’s terse statement did not say who would be replacing Mr. Shell at NBCUniversal, which he has led since 2020.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
