David Drummond, Alphabet's chief legal officer who has been under fire for allegedly having relationships with subordinates, is leaving the company, Alphabet announced on Friday.

Drummond's departure will be effective on January 31, according to an SEC filing that said Drummond informed the company on Friday that he is "retiring."

According to a Forbes report, Drummond will not receive a severance package.

His exit follows a blog post in August by Jennifer Blakely, who said she started a relationship with Drummond while she worked for him at Google, which is now under the auspices of Alphabet. The two later had a child. But Blakely accused Drummond of abandoning her and their son and subjecting her to emotional abuse.

Alphabet representatives did not immediately return requests for comment.
