CNBC reporter Hadley Gamble had a romantic relationship with billionaire Tom Barrack that was revealed to her associates back in 2020 after a distinguished Trump supporter unintentionally lounged in front of the camera while filming her show, The Post came upon.
Gamble’s affair with Barrack got here to light after her “inappropriate relationship” with ousted NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell – who was fired last Sunday following an internal investigation following a “grievance of misconduct”, was revealed.
In a summer 2020 behind-the-scenes video obtained by The Post, Gamble, wearing a pink dress, may be seen preparing for a live shot on the set of her CNBC international show “Capital Connection” when a person unintentionally walks into the frame.
The nine-second video was recorded in Bodrum, Turkey, where Gamble was on the point of host the show remotely from a complicated hotel suite.
The person, who was wearing a T-shirt and shorts and gave the impression to be barefoot, stays within the frame for a couple of seconds while Gamble frantically tries to get his attention and shoo him away.
At one point, he shifts in place, apparently attempting to shield the person from the camera.
Finally, Gamble turns to get his attention, then smiles shyly on the camera because the man leaves the room. Three sources identified the person within the background of the video as Barrack.

A video of the incident was leaked to the CNBC newsroom and sparked murmurs amongst staff who questioned whether Gamble, then 39, was dating Barrack, then 74, on the time of the interview – and why the connection was never revealed on air.
Gamble’s relationship with Barrack prompted CNBC to research human resources in 2021 — after securing an interview with Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Gamble’s attorney Suzanne McKie of Farore Law in London told The Post that Barrack “didn’t arrange an interview” between Gamble and Kushner, adding that Gamble had previously met with Kushner on the Peace to Prosperity Summit in Bahrain in June 2019. McKie said that the Probe cleared Gamble of any wrongdoing.
McKie said that Gamble met Barrack “for the primary time” during a February 2020 CNBC interview in Abu Dhabi, and their romantic relationship began sometime after that meeting.

“While the remainder of us were fighting for any likelihood, she flew firstclass and bragged about it on Instagram, wore Louboutins, stayed in five-star hotels,” a source near the matter said. “We also hated the way it reflected on [CNBC] brand and our journalistic credibility by association, but our complaints remained deaf.”
“Nobody could understand why she was protected,” the source added. “Any normal employee can be fired.”
