This has been a very hard week for former CNN host Chris Cuomo. First, it was leaked that he helped his embattled brother, Andrew, as they attempted to salvage his career in light of multiple sexual misconduct allegations, not to mention thousands of nursing home patients’ blood on his hands. Then, he was “suspended indefinitely” on Wednesday.
Yesterday was what most believed would be the finale in the Fredo saga as CNN officially fired him. But wait! There’s more!
Following news of his release from CNN, the NY Post reported that a sexual harassment allegation was filed by an unknown former acquaintance in the media field. This information was reportedly given to CNN on Wednesday, prompting speculation that it played a role in Cuomo’s firing on Saturday. According to the NY Post [emphasis added]:
A former co-worker of Chris Cuomo made a sexual misconduct allegation against the former CNN anchor, who was fired Saturday for misleading the cable network about the extent of the role he played trying to mitigate the sexual harassment accusations that took down his brother, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
