CNN has finally given Chris Cuomo the ax over how he handled his brother’s sexual assault scandal. CNN found out that Chris Cuomo did quite a lot to help his brother and used CNN resources to do so. So they suspended him, and likely would have brought him back when this blew over, but then a new accusation of sexual assault was the last straw.
“CNN said in a statement: “Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his brother’s defense. We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately.”
Cuomo put out the following statement in response to his firing:
“This is not how I want my time at CNN to end but I have already told you why and how I helped my brother. So let me now say as disappointing as this is, I could not be more proud of the team at Cuomo Prime Time and the work we did as CNN’s #1 show in the most competitive time slot. I owe them all and will miss that group of special people who did really important work.”
