According to cnn and the Associated Press, CNN issued a statement on the 4th, announcing the dismissal of ace anchor Chris. Cuomo. CNN noted in a statement: "Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier last week to further evaluate new information about his involvement in his brother's defence case, we have engaged a reputable law firm to conduct a review and have dismissed him with immediate effect." ”
The statement added: "Additional information emerged during the review process. Despite the dismissal, we will conduct an appropriate investigation. ”
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, accused of sexually harassing at least 11 women, announced his resignation in August.
As a younger brother, Chris. Cuomo previously claimed that his brother had tried to support his brother when the scandal broke out, and he stressed that he was not an adviser to help his brother, but listened and offered his views as a younger brother, but the investigation documents released by New York State Attorney General Letitia James on November 29 found that Chris Cuomo also served as his brother's staff for free while serving as a CNN anchor, using his connections in the press to help Cuomo's team prepare for the lawsuit.
The investigation found that Chris. Cuomo pressured sources to provide information about the women who had filed the complaint and returned it to cuomo's team, and actively helped the team develop a response to the complaint.
On the 30th CNN announced Chris. Cuomo suspended indefinitely, noting that the New York State prosecutor found content that was so serious that it had to be made for Chris. Cuomo was suspended, and a statement released by CNN at the time noted, "When Chris confessed to us to give advice to his brother's team, he broke the rules." ”
The statement also noted that investigative documents show that Chris Cuomo was involved in the New York Governor's Sexual Disturbance to a greater extent than CNN had previously known, and therefore decided to suspend Chris Cuomo indefinitely.
CNN said at the time it would hire outside companies to review thousands of pages of investigative documents.
Chris Cuomo responded with "disappointment". According to US media reports, Chris Cuomo privately "raged" at CNN's decision.
He issued a statement immediately after CNN announced his dismissal: "This is not the way I want to end at CNN, I have told you why and how I helped my brother." So let me say now, while disappointing, I'm incredibly proud of the Cuomo Primetime team and the work we did as CNN's No. 1 show during the most competitive slot. ”
The Daily Beast in the United States (The Daily Beast) quoted sources on the 4th as pointing out that Chris Cuomo was "furious" by his dismissal from CNN and is currently discussing with lawyers how to follow up.
The report quoted sources as saying that CNN decided to fire Chris Cuomo on the 3rd, and President Jeff Zucker informed Chris Cuomo of this decision on the 4th, and Juke said bitterly in an internal letter to employees that it was not easy to make this decision.
When Chris Cuomo first broke the escort brother, cnns were dissatisfied with him and demanded expulsion, but CNN chose to support him at the first time and did not punish Chris. Cuomo.
However, sources revealed that due to Cuomo's constant explosion of problems, chris Cuomo's relationship with CNN is impossible to maintain in the long run, and for CNN, Chris Cuomo is ultimately a "toxic and distracting existence" and "CNN has done the right thing".
"Cuomo Primetime" airs every Monday through Friday at 9 p.m. prime time and has the highest ratings on CNN's primetime programs.
