The New Yorker has suspended reporter Jeffrey Toobin. Sources tell VICE it’s because he exposed himself during a Zoom call last week between members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio.
Toobin said in a statement to Motherboard: “I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers.”
“I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video,” he added.
New Yorker spokesperson Natalie Raabe said: “Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended while we investigate the matter.”
Toobin’s Conde Nast email has been disabled and he has not tweeted since October 13. He did, however, appear on CNN, where he is the network’s chief legal analyst, on Saturday. CNN did not respond to a request for comment.
Doubleday, an imprint of Random House, which published Toobin’s latest book did not respond to emails. Neither did Toobin’s literary agent Kristine Dahl nor Greater Talent Network, which represents Toobin. WNYC did not respond to a request for comment.

“Zoom Dick” ... now there’s a great nickname for this guy. LMAO.
Volkswagen with 2 flat tires.
Hopefully the sick leftist bastard never works again. Maybe he should have an accident cleaning a gun.
Yeah - I hate when that happens ..
I use a picture of the mountains. There’s a window directly behind me and you can’t see me anyway.
This is pretty darn funny, but gross at the same time.
Yes, he deserves what he gets, and more!
I suspended the New Yorker for being the New Yorker
Weirdest Story of the Day
I thought I had muted the Zoom video,”
So who sits there with their schlong hanging out which enables such an “accident”?
How could a person “accidentally” do something like this? Was he participating in the meeting while using the toilet?
Well, he’s Jewish, so it’s a convertible with the top down..................
He should have said his account was hacked.
he was arrested for indecent exposure, but released due to lack of evidence.
By the way, I hate how Zoom turns on your microphone and video camera, by default.
It’s dangerous for reasons such as this.
It looks like a penis, only much smaller
I probably shouldn’t ask but...what the hell happened? What were the circumstances that this was caught on camera?
He was playing with himself on camera?
