So all of a sudden he’s got nothing to say, eh? Apparently, Chris Cuomo took a much-needed mental break day from his SiriusXM radio show in the wake of his new sexual misconduct allegations. Here’s what you need to know.
According to reports, former ABC News Journalist Brain Ross served as a fill-in host for Cuomo’s radio show on Monday and did not give a reason for Cuomo’s absence.
Chris Cuomo Skips His SiriusXM Radio Show Amid New Sexual Harassment Allegations
A source familiar with the situation told The Post: “Chris decided to take the day off today from SiriusXM, he is not going on today to focus on his current situation. He will be back when he’s ready to go back on the air. His contract is up in 2022, and it remains to be seen what happens up to that point.”
CNN gave Cuomo the pink slip after a lawyer for an unidentified woman informed the network on Wednesday of an unspecified allegation of sexual misconduct against Chris Cuomo from when he worked at ABC. Cuomo has said through a spokesman that “these apparently anonymous allegations are not true.”
Prior to that, 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.”
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.”
