Jeff Shell, the chief executive of NBCUniversal, is departing the company after an "inappropriate relationship," Comcast announced Sunday.

In a brief statement, Shell said Sunday would be his last day after what he called "an inappropriate relationship with a woman in the company." He joins a number of media industry executives who have left their posts in recent years over inappropriate relations, including others at NBCUniversal. Three years ago, NBCUniversal Vice Chairman Ron Meyer, a Hollywood power player, left the company after revealing he received threats of extortion following a settlement with a woman with whom he had an affair.

Former CBS Chief Les Moonves resigned in September 2018, just hours after reports of multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
