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. “Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted,” CNN said in a statement.

New Yorker Suspends Jeffrey Toobin for Exposing Himself on Zoom

He went full sans-culotte. Never go full sans-culotte.
“I thought I had muted the Zoom video,“
So I wonder what his penis was saying......
Lots of luck to him. Sounds like he has his hands full.
He should change his name to Jeffrey Tubing.
Did Jeffery say “Excuse me while I whip this out!.........”
““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.”
That still doesn’t explain it.
WOW, just posting to all these threads as they get consolidated to one.
OY GEVALT
Why are these people so obsessed with their body part? The raincoat guy now shows up all over the place.
“Shut up and dance”

This cannot be all there is to this story....
Unless I’m mistaken you can get 10 years for that!
Scott Adams was spot on in predicting something like this.
This is this weekend’s comic strip.
