NBCUniversal and Ron Meyer Reached a Confidential Settlement Following His Sex Scandal
Former studio executive Ron Meyer and NBCUniversal have reached a confidential settlement following his 2020 exit amid a sex scandal, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Meyer was ousted from his post as NBCUniversal vice chairman after he disclosed a 2012 affair with actress Charlotte Kirk to CEO Jeff Shell.
In a statement announcing his August 2020 departure, the embattled executive said, “I made this disclosure because other parties learned of the settlement and have continuously attempted to extort me into paying them money or else they intended to falsely implicate NBCUniversal, which had nothing to do with this matter, and to publish false allegations about me.” Meyer added: “After I disclosed this matter to the company, we mutually decided that I should step down from my role as vice chairman of NBCUniversal.”
