CNBC anchor Hadley Gamble, who accused ex-CEO of sexual harassment, is leaving the network

CNBC anchor Hadley Gamble will leave the network only weeks after a sexual harassment claim she lodged led to the firing of former NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell.

A CNBC spokesperson on Wednesday confirmed her pending departure.

"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," the spokesperson said in a statement to CBS MoneyWatch. "Her initiative and drive have secured valuable interviews with several world political leaders."
