It has been revealed that the affair that ultimately led to the ousting of NBCUniversal Vice Chairman Ron Meyer was allegedly with actor Charlotte Kirk, according to Variety. 

Kirk is the same actor whose affair with Warner Bros. chief Kevin Tsujihara led to the executive’s resignation last year. Intimate text messages between the two were leaked by The Hollywood Reporter, and it was revealed that Tsujihara attempted to use his status to get her roles in shows and films.

Meyer’s extramarital affair with Kirk reportedly occured eight years ago, and the former NBCUinversal chair admitted to the scandal in a statement following his resignation. Meyer had been working at NBCUniversal for roughly 25 years and was also the co-founded of the dominant talent agency CAA in 1975.

“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,” he added in his statement regarding the affair.

Kirk is a British-born actor who can be seen in films Ocean’s 8, Vice, and How to be Single.
