Chris Cuomo Is Now A Mini-Meatball: Primetime Host Fired By CNN
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.
“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,” CNN said in a statement on Saturday. “We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately. While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light. Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate.”
Interestingly enough, Chris Cuomo responded to his termination, saying in a statement, “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 continued, “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.”
Chris’ firing came after CNN suspended him last week, pending evaluation of his conduct following revelations from the New York attorney general’s investigation into his brother. The Cuomo Prime Time host had already been suspended indefinitely as of last week. Someone pass the spaghetti sauce.
