Bill and Melinda Gates’s divorce instantly became the stuff of tabloid legend—but as rumors of affairs and private investigators start to surface, simple speculation begins to crystalize into a narrative. vntyfr.com/LBxQOcG
According to two people familiar with the situation, someone in Melinda’s circle worked with a private investigator leading up to filing. A spokesperson for Melinda, however, called the claim "completely false.”
While Microsoft has yet to comment on the news, it might get harder to avoid the reports of Bill’s conduct, especially with stories involving inappropriate workplace behavior and NDAs.
A former employee who signed an NDA said there were times Bill drove to the office in one car, and then left an hour later in another. “We all assumed that it was when he was with women.”
“For such a long time, you were told, ‘You have an NDA. You can’t talk,’” said one former employee. Even as recent reporting around Gates helped them open up, they're keenly aware that Gates has lawyers at the ready. “And these are not nice lawyers.”
