Ross was a producer for ABC News.[3] For her work on prime time, in 2005, she won a shared Gerald Loeb Award for Television Deadline.[4] Ross was a producer of The Early Show.[5][6]

In September 2021, she accused her previous employee, Chris Cuomo, of sexually harassing her in 2005 during an employee's farewell party at a bar in Manhattan.[3][7][8][9] Stopping short of asking him to be fired from CNN, she said she would "like to see him journalistically repent." Cuomo admitted to the incident and apologized in a statement: "As Shelley acknowledges, our interaction was not sexual in nature. It happened 16 years ago in a public setting when she was a top executive at ABC. I apologized to her then, and I meant it."[10]
