When Jeff Shell admitted to having an “inappropriate relationship” with his employee on CNBC, he not only disappointed the company but also hurt his wife Laura Fay! Even if he didn’t say it out loud, it didn’t matter that he must also be devastated to know the truth.
But who is Jeff’s wife? Find out all about Laura as this article continues.
Meet Laura Fay, Wife of Jeff Shell
Laura Fay was Jeff Shell’s wife for decades. The two share two children and seem happy with the outside world. But what is perceived is not always reality. Jeff had cheated on her with CNBC anchor and Senior International Correspondent Hadley Gamble.
It was reported that Jeff and Hadley had been seeing each other for over 10 years until they called it quits around 2020. But according to a source at the company “there are no whispers of an affair” involving Jeff around the company. “Almost nobody knew there was an investigation,” the insider said, “and even fewer knew there was actually an affair.”
Obviously, everyone was shocked to learn that Jeff had an affair with an employee, as a result, he was forced to resign as CEO of NBCU in April 2023. After resigning, Jeff released a statement saying, “I had an inappropriate relationship with a woman in that company, which I deeply regret. I am truly sorry for disappointing my Comcast and NBCUniversal colleagues.”
He has been with the company for decades and only became CEO in 2020.
Jeff’s resignation comes a month after Hadley filed a complaint against him and the matter reached Comcast Chairman and CEO Brian Roberts through the proper channels.
