AdWeek in the US reports that, according to a story by The Wall Street Journal on the weekend, former WPP CEO Martin Sorrell’s recent resignation happened while the board of directors investigated allegations that he spent company money on the services of one or more prostitutes.

Through a personal spokesperson, Sorrell denied the claims but declined to elaborate, citing a nondisclosure agreement signed when he abruptly resigned from his position atop the world’s largest advertising company two months ago.
