Melinda Fager 7 Facts About Jeff Fager’s Wife

Melinda Fager

Melinda Fager is the wife of disgraced TV producer, Jeff Fager –who until recently served as the executive producer of ’60 Minuties.’

Melinda’s husband has been fired from the top job following a menacing text he sent to CBS reporter, Jericka Duncan. According to reports, Duncan was merely reaching out to Fager for comment after he and Ronan Farrow –were the subjects of a recent investigation into sexual misconduct at CBS.
