【Global Network Report】Comprehensive Reuters, CNN (CNN) reported that CNN president Jeff Zucker announced his resignation on the 2nd local time, because he did not disclose his relationship with female executive Alison Gorest in time.

"As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo's tenure, I was asked about relationships with my closest colleagues I've worked with for over 20 years." In a memo that day, Zach said, "I acknowledge that this relationship has gradually developed in recent years. I was asked to disclose it in the beginning, but I didn't. I was wrong. Therefore, I resign today. ”

Zach did not name the colleague, but cnn reported that the colleague was alison Glaest, its main deputy for 20 years.

In a memo, Gorest said, "Jeff and I have been close friends and professional partners for more than 20 years. Recently, our relationship has changed during the pandemic. I'm sorry we didn't disclose it at the right time."

CNN reported that Zach and Gorest began working together on NBC in 1998, and they were promoted together. When Zach joined CNN, Gorest was among his first employees. Gorest is currently CNN's Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer.

The report also said that Zach and Gorest divorced their partners a few years ago. Rumors of their close working relationship turning into a romance have long been the subject of speculation, occasionally in gossip columns.
