Jeff Shell, CEO of NBCUniversal, departs company following "inappropriate relationship"

Comcast announced Sunday that NBCUniversal Chief Executive Jeff Shell would be departing the company following an investigation into a complaint of an "inappropriate relationship."

"The Company and Jeff Shell, Chief Executive Officer of NBCUniversal, have mutually agreed that Mr. Shell will depart effective immediately following the Company's investigation led by outside counsel into a complaint of inappropriate conduct," read a statement from parent company Comcast.

The company did not specify what "inappropriate conduct" had taken place, though Shell confirmed in a statement that it had to do with a relationship with a woman in the company.
