Hadley Gamble

CNBC International anchor Hadley Gamble accused former NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Shell of sexual harassment and sex discrimination, reports Joe Flint of The Wall Street Journal.

Flint reports, “‘The investigation into Mr. Shell arose from a complaint by my client of sexual harassment and sex discrimination. Given these circumstances it is very disappointing that my client’s name has been released and her privacy violated,’ said Suzanne McKie, a managing partner of Farore Law, a firm based in the United Kingdom.

“Media reports late Sunday named Ms. Gamble as the individual who brought the complaint.

“Ms. Gamble is a CNBC anchor and senior international correspondent who covers energy, geopolitics, and financial markets, according to her company biography.”
