The woman that former NBCUniversal vice president Ron Meyer apparently had a brief ‘consensual affair’ with and subsequently entered into a settlement with, leading to his resignation from the company, is thought to be British actress Charlotte Kirk.
According to Variety, the suspicious affair between Kirk, 28, and Meyer, 75, happened eight years ago.
In a statement on Tuesday, the exec, who was fired after 25 years at NBCUniversal, claiming that once others became aware of the arrangement with a name without a wife, a third party, “continuously tried to depress me to pay their money” by to threaten to publish false claims about Meyer as falsely implicating NBCUniversal in the ordeal.
Meyer did not provide much information about the settlement other than that the woman with whom he had the brief affair “made false accusations against me.”
Kirk – whose film credits include “Ocean’s 8,” “How to Be Single” and “Vice” – previously worked in an extramarital affair with former Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara, 55, in 2013 and 2014. That particular sadness also resulted in dismissal, as leaked text messages and accusations that Tsujihara was trying to use his position to get Kirk movie and television spots, prompted his resignation from Warner Bros. in 2019.
Kirk later came to Tsujihara’s defense, telling the Daily Mail that he did nothing wrong during her time together. She also refused to leak her personal text messages.
Neither Meyer, nor Kirk, have confirmed the actress as the anonymous woman in question, but Kirk’s lawyer told Variety that he “never made an appointment with Ron Meyer about anything.”
On Tuesday, NBCU CEO Jeff Shell said in a statement that Meyer “had acted in a manner we believe is inconsistent with our corporate policies or values. Based on Ron’s revelation about these actions, we have mutually concluded that Ron should leave the company, effectively leave. “
Reps for Kirk did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
