NBC reportedly fired one of its top executives on Monday amid an investigation looking into some of the network’s honchos who are allegedly fostering a “toxic workplace.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, unscripted executive Meredith Ahr was ousted after claims emerged that she and former NBC entertainment president Paul Telegdy, who was ousted back in August, oversaw “homophobic, misogynistic and racist behavior,” much of it stemming from her reality television division.
The executive told THR in a statement at the time, “I have spent my career striving to create a work environment that gives people an opportunity to learn and grow, as well as championing diversity and inclusion both on our shows and in our executive ranks. To see this false portrait painted by anonymous sources is devastating, and in no way reflects who I am.”
Ahr had worked for NBC since 2001.
