Ex-Kroger CEO ordered by judge to reveal ‘embarrassing' details in lawsuit involving singer Jewel
A Cincinnati judge has ordered former Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen to provide a written account of why he abruptly left the grocery giant in March — potentially exposing details the executive's attorneys have called 'completely irrelevant' and 'embarrassing' in a lawsuit that involves singer Jewel. The circumstances surrounding 65-year-old McMullen's surprise resignation have become a point of interest in a lawsuit unrelated to his exit. Jewel — the songstress known for 90s hits like 'Foolish Games' and 'Hands' — has together with a business partner sued Kroger over the company's annual Wellness Festival, claiming they were central to launching the event and are owed damages over alleged contractual problems. 4 Former Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen (seen far left) has been ordered to reveal details of his exit from the company as part of an unrelated lawsuit brought by singer Jewel (seen second from left). Getty Images for The Wellness Experience by Kroger Their lawyers argued that delving into details of McMullen's resignation could be relevant to his credibility if he appears as a witness and could inform the court's view of what they describe as an 'allegedly corrupt corporate culture at Kroger.' McMullen's legal team pushed back, calling the questions 'completely irrelevant' and 'embarrassing,' but the judge ordered him to answer in writing. The Aug. 1 directive from Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Christian Jenkins required McMullen to submit a sworn explanation by Aug. 8 that details the reason for his exit and identifies others involved, according to the court's order. It wasn't immediately clear whether McMullan had complied with the order. The Post has reached out to McMullen's lawyers for comment. Whether any written account from McMullen becomes public will depend on a later ruling about its relevance to the case. The judge can keep it under seal if he decides it matters to the lawsuit, or exclude it entirely if it does not. McMullen stepped down after more than a decade leading the Cincinnati-based grocery company, following what Kroger described as an investigation into his 'personal conduct.' 4 Rodney McMullen, former Kroger CEO, has been ordered to explain the reasons behind his sudden resignation. Bloomberg via Getty Images The company did not elaborate at the time. As part of his departure, McMullen forfeited all unvested equity and bonuses — $11 million in total, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. McMullen earned $15.7 million in 2023. 'Usually a CEO has downside protection if they leave,' Eric Chaffee, a corporate law professor at Case Western Reserve University, told Fortune. 4 Jewel performed on stage in Cincinnati in 2021. Jewel and a business partner have sued Kroger over the company's annual Wellness Festival. Getty Images for The Wellness Experience by Kroger 'The fact that he was willing to give that up may provide some insight that what went on here was something he did not want revealed.' Chaffee told Fortune it is 'somewhat invasive' to probe a CEO's departure, but noted that Kroger itself linked the resignation to 'business ethics,' which can make the line of inquiry easier to justify. In civil litigation, he added, attorneys commonly try to 'test that individual's credibility… to figure out whether they behave in an ethical manner.' 4 Jewel shares the stage with then-Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen at the company's wellness festival in Cincinnati in 2021. Getty Images for The Wellness Experience by Kroger Chaffee pointed out that US courts strongly favor openness. There is, he said, a 'strong preference that the public has access to judicial proceedings — not just to be nosy, but because transparency makes for a fairer legal system.' The judge will ultimately decide how much of McMullen's account the public can see, if any. Kroger's sparse explanation left room for speculation when McMullen resigned, and the new order renews interest in what the company and its former leader have chosen not to disclose. 'There's a cloud that's left by his departure,' Chaffee told Fortune, 'but companies sometimes decide that's better than the damage that could come from disclosure.' For McMullen, silence may also be a rational choice. 'It might be something embarrassing to him personally, to a family member, or something that could have future repercussions for his career,' Chaffee told Fortune. Executive careers can hinge on public perception, and 'if you're a CEO and there are news reports out there that you've done something you shouldn't have, getting another top job can become very, very difficult,' he said. The Post has sought comment from Kroger, McMullen and Jewel.

Paramount acquires UFC rights in 7-year, $7.7 billion deal with TKO Group
Paramount will become the new home to all Ultimate Fighting Championship events in the U.S. under a seven-year agreement with TKO Group announced on Monday. Under the deal, Paramount will exclusively distribute the UFC's full slate of its 13 marquee numbered events and 30 "Fight Nights" on its streaming platform Paramount+ — with select numbered events also set to simulcast on CBS — starting in 2026. In an interview with CBS Sports, UFC CEO Dana White said his company is talking with the Trump administration about hosting a fight at the White House on July 4, 2026, to mark the nation's 250th anniversary. "Imagine a massive fight on the lawn of the White House on CBS," White said. A White House source familiar with the matter said such an event is anticipated next July 4. The 7-year deal marks a shift away from the UFC's existing pay-per-view model, which Paramount and TKO say will allow the mixed martial arts programming reach more consumers nationwide. "Paramount's advantage lies in the expansive reach of our linear and streaming platforms," David Ellison, chairman and CEO of Paramount, said in a statement. "Live sports continue to be a cornerstone of our broader strategy — driving engagement, subscriber growth, and long-term loyalty, and the addition of UFC's year-round must-watch events to our platforms is a major win." Mark Shapiro, president and COO of TKO, added that the deal will mean "deeper engagement for UFC's passionate fan base" and that its athletes "will love this new stage." The seven-year deal has an average annual value of $1.1 billion, or $7.7 billion over the length of the contract, the companies said Monday. Paramount, the parent company of CBS News and Paramount+ and now owned by Skydance, also said it intends to explore UFC rights outside the U.S. "as they become available in the future." Shares of TKO — which, in addition to the UFC, also houses the WWE — jumped more than 10% in Monday trading.
