NBCUniversal Vice President Ron Meyer was involved in an affair with actress Charlotte Kirk that eventually led to his ouster at the entertainment company on Tuesday, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. Meyer was forced out of office after a 25-year run after failing to reveal that he had reached an agreement with Kirk. According to a statement from Meyer that Kirk did not name as the woman involved in the affair, unidentified third parties had come to know of the settlement and the executives were being pardoned for money.
The affair happened eight years ago, sources said Variation.
Kirk also had an extramarital affair with former Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara in 2013 and 2014. The revelation of intimate text message between Kirk and Tsujihara, as well as accusations that he had tried to use his position to get her roles in movies and TV shows, prompted his resignation from the company in 2019.
In a statement, Meyer said the affair with the unnamed woman was “very brief and consensual” and “many years ago.”
“I made this revelation because other parties to the scheme knew and continually tried to depress me to pay their money or otherwise intended to falsely implicate NBCUniversal, which had nothing to do with this case and false accusations about me. to publish, “he added.
Kirk is an actress born to Brits, whose credits include “Ocean’s 8”, “How to Be Single” and “Vice”.
In the Tsujihara situation, she told the Daily Mail that she did not leak the text messages and had urged the Hollywood Reporter not to carry out her story revealing the relationship. She also said that Tsujihara had done nothing incomplete.
Kirk also briefly dated Australian billionaire James Packer before being introduced to Tsujihara in 2013.
Kirk’s attorney, Raymond Markovich, said Variation that he does not know Meyer.
“I’ve never done an appointment with Ron Meyer about anything,” Markovich said.
He did not respond when asked if Kirk had signed or was involved in a settlement.
