What Jeff Zucker’s resignation could mean for Chris Cuomo’s potential CNN payout
NY Post ^ | 2/3/2022 | Lydia Moynihan

Chris Cuomo isn’t likely to get much more than half of the $18 million he’s seeking as a settlement in his feud with CNN now that Jeff Zucker has resigned, The Post has learned.

Zucker fell on his sword in an effort to keep a possible Cuomo lawsuit against CNN from seeing the light of day, sources told The Post. The ex-CNN chief was named multiple times in a draft of a suit, which hasn’t been filed, sources said.

Zucker’s resignation came as part of an agreement hammered out with AT&T chief John Stankey, sources say. Under the agreement, Zucker would leave CNN without a fight and Stankey would settle with Cuomo, the sources said.

That way, Cuomo’s potentially damaging additional accusations about Zucker would be kept from the public, these sources say.

Zucker stated he resigned because he was involved romantically with colleague Allison Gollust but failed to disclose the relationship. Cuomo, in a draft of a suit that hasn’t been filed, claims Zucker’s misdeeds go beyond that, The Post has reported.

A press rep for Zucker declined to comment. AT&T did not respond to request for comment.

This makes more sense, that it was a maneuver to avoid expensive legal damage.

It doesn’t seem very scandalous that he was in a relationship with a co-worker of roughly equal rank.

It seems like a great way to get off the Rat-infested USS CNN.

Zucker has already cost CNN a hell of a lot more millions than a paltry 18.

He served his purpose. He’ll get a big payoff from Soros or the CCP. He doesn’t care.

********

Agree. There’s no issue at most corporations for two single people who are of appropriate rank to date or be in a relationship. This is smoke and mirrors a diversion.
