Factbox: HP CEO latest exec to lose job over relationship

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hewlett-Packard Co CEO Mark Hurd, who resigned on Friday, is the latest in a long list of prominent executives who have lost their jobs over personal relationships. Here are some of the more high-profile cases of recent years:

* John Browne stepped down as CEO of BP Plc in 2007 after details of a homosexual affair were made public. Browne had sought court orders to prevent newspapers from printing details but resigned after the UK courts lifted an injunction on publication.

* In 2005, Boeing Co ousted Harry Stonecipher as CEO, saying he had shown poor judgment by having a consensual affair with a female employee.

* The board of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc pushed out CEO Steven Heyer in 2007 after he was investigated for making sexual advances on employees. Heyer gave up millions in severance.

* The CEO of Time Warner Inc's Home Box Office unit, Chris Albrecht, was forced to resign in 2007 after he was arrested on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend in a Las Vegas parking lot.

* Health insurer WellPoint Inc fired CFO David Colby for a "personnel matter" in 2007. A former female employee later sued Colby for sexual battery.
