CNN President Jeff Zucker Suddenly Resigns Over Undisclosed Romantic Relationship
PJ Media ^ | 02/02/2022 | Cameron Arcand

CNN President Jeff Zucker resigned from his position at the network Wednesday morning after failing to disclose a romantic relationship he had with another senior executive.

“As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years,” he said, according to a statement posted to CNN Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter’s Twitter. “I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong.”

“As a result, I am resigning today.”

The relationship was with Allison Gollust, who is the executive vice president and chief marketing officer of CNN Worldwide.

Gollust was formerly an advisor to disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.), according to the New York Times.

“Jeff and I have been close friends and professional partners for over 20 years,” the Times reported Gollust as saying. “Recently, our relationship changed during Covid. I regret that we didn’t disclose it at the right time. I’m incredibly proud of my time at CNN and look forward to continuing the great work we do everyday.”

Past governor Andrew Cuomo’s brother, Chris Cuomo, was fired by CNN for violating journalistic ethics by giving advice to his politician brother related to his scandals.

It goes without saying that the change of leadership could have a major impact on the future of CNN.

Former President Donald Trump made Zucker’s CNN the foil for his campaign and time in the White House, and the network has lately been struggling significantly with ratings.

Ah...this is where the legalities always come into play: The senior person is responsible. If it is “allowed” with reporting, then the senior person has to report it.

Based on that...the subordinate person did nothing wrong. And chances are she will be considered a “victim” by many.

inappropriate romantic relationship

It’s the “Limited Hangout” for Lefties these days.
Avoid all blame, It’s just a private thing.

Move On.

File under, "on a completely unrelated note":
Gollust was formerly an advisor to disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.), according to the New York Times. “Jeff and I have been close friends and professional partners for over 20 years,” the Times reported Gollust as saying. “Recently, our relationship changed during Covid. I regret that we didn’t disclose it at the right time. I’m incredibly proud of my time at CNN and look forward to continuing the great work we do everyday.”
Lie (in either sense) with dogs, wake up in the doghouse.
It's all part of those high ethical standards of the media in general and CNN in particular. Oh, and the DNC.

thanks for that, makes sense, but doesn’t seem right.

I was thinking the same thing. Because if he should have revealed they were having a relationship and didn’t so should she.

“I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong.”

“As a result, I am resigning today.”

So he is resigning after fooling around with her for twenty years and now suddenly his conscience bothers him and he is confessing his great wrong.

And she, I guess, is not bothered by it. She is not leaving! although she admits they should have told CNN they were doing this.

CNN by their policy should fire her.

“Recently, our relationship changed during Covid. I regret that we didn’t disclose it at the right time. I’m incredibly proud of my time at CNN and look forward to continuing the great work we do everyday.” ~ Allison Gollust

But noooooo, she’s a-stayin! Because it is all bs.

and what Covid has to do with it I have no idea. Unless she broke up with him and now is having an affair with someone else and he can’t stand it. (My own fake news)

I think there’s more to this. As long as the relationship was consensual he could have weathered the storm.

Zuck has taken responsibility for what he did. He wasn’t forced, threatened or coerced. For a liberal he has acted quite honorably.

It was a consensual relationship over 20 years, occurring over most of the time he was married to Caryn Nathanson ​
(m. 1996; div. 2019)

Allison Gollust was also married during the affair.

I’m thinking SHE decided to say/sell something is the real reason.
