More than 10 years before he stepped down from Microsoft's board amid an investigation into an affair with an employee, former CEO Bill Gates was warned by two company executives about inappropriate emails he was sending to , he says today the Wall Street Journal.bill gates girlfriend

While still an employee at Microsoft and serving as chairman of the board, Bill Gates and a female employee exchanged love emails, the magazine reported, although he was married at the time.

When confronted by two company executives, Gates did not deny the exchanges nor did he mention that he would stop. These executives informed some Microsoft board members, but ultimately the board decided that since there was no physical contact between the woman and Bill Gates, there was no need to do anything.

A Microsoft spokesman confirmed the Wall Street Journal report but did not add anything new to a question asked by TheVerge.

However, company spokesman Frank Shaw told the Wall Street Journal that in 2008, the company was made aware of the exchange of messages, which took place in 2007. The employee did not file a complaint about the incident, according to Shaw. He described the messages as "flirtatious messages" and "not overtly sexual". He also mentioned that Bill Gates had requested a meeting with the employee but out .

A Gates spokesman told The Verge that something very different from what Microsoft was saying:

"These allegations are false, recycled rumors from sources that do not have direct knowledge and in some cases there are significant conflicts of interest."

In 2019, some members of Microsoft's board suggested that Gates resign as an investigation into an alleged relationship with an employee began. Gates resigned from the board in March 2020, before the investigation was completed.

The employee reportedly wrote a letter to the board admitting that she had had a long-term sexual relationship with Gates.
He and Melinda French Gates, who have been married for 27 years, divorced last August.
