It’s not over for Chris Cuomo yet. Or at least, his problems aren’t. There’s a new report that says CNN will continue the network’s investigation over Chris Cuomo’s conduct, despite the fact that he just got pink-slipped.
Chris has been given the axe because of his efforts to help his brother Andrew fight off a sexual harassment scandal when he was still governor of New York. Here’s what you need to know.
CNN Will Continue Investigation Into Chris Cuomo’s Conduct
The network had suspended its prime-time host earlier this week to investigate his conduct, after New York’s attorney general released details showing he was more involved than previously known in helping to strategize and reach out to other journalists as his brother fought to keep his job.
“It goes without saying that these decisions are not easy, and there are a lot of complex factors involved,” Jeff Zucker said in an email to CNN staff on Saturday.
Even with the firing, CNN said it will continue to investigate their former anchor’s conduct “as appropriate.” The cable news network tweeted about his termination Saturday saying his firing is “effective immediately.”
Meanwhile, Chris Cuomo himself responded by saying that he was terribly disappointed with the network’s decision to let him go.
“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,” he wrote. “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.”
Now, as far as what’s next for Chris Cuomo – or his brother Andrew for that matter – remains to be seen.
