Hadley Gamble — the CNBC news anchor whose affair with NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell led to the media mogul’s shocking ouster last month — is no longer with the network, the Comcast-owned financial news outlet has announced.
A settlement between Gamble and NBCUniversal over her sex-harassment allegations against Shell was “significantly less” than $10 million — a speculative figure that recently had been circulating in media circles — but was nevertheless still “in the millions,” a source close to the situation told The Post.
“Gamble has been a distinguished journalist for more than a decade for CNBC, undertaking highly visible and challenging assignments, and developing deep expertise in the Middle East and beyond,” a network spokesperson said.
“Her initiative and drive have secured valuable interviews with several world political leaders.”
“We wish her every success in her future endeavors.”
In her sex-harassment complaint, reportedly filed about a month before Shell’s shocking exit, 41-year-old Gamble alleged that she and Shell had an affair that began about 11 years ago.
That was after 57-year-old Shell had pressured her for sex over a period of years, according to the complaint. Gamble didn’t work for the division Shell oversaw when they met, a source told the New York Times.
Eventually, Gamble did engage in a sexual relationship with Shell “after it became clear to her that rebutting his advances would probably damage her career,” according to the complaint.
