Long time CNN news anchor Jim Sciutto has been absent from the air after it was revealed the network told him to address “personal situation.” The network is tying it to a “serious fall” he suffered, but he has recovered from the fall.
Sciutto was the subject of an internal investigation within CNN earlier this year related to a “serious fall’” he suffered while in Amsterdam.
The Newsroom host was on his way home from reporting in Ukraine when he stopped off in the Dutch capital with a producer. The producer is unnamed.
Sciutto, who worked in the Obama administration as chief of staff and senior advisor to US Ambassador to China Gary Locke, was in the Dutch capital with a so far unidentified producer. Sciutto was returning from a spell reporting in Ukraine when the incident occurred. He has since recovered from the fall.
The Daily Beast’s Confider reported Monday that Sciutto traveled through the Netherlands with a producer despite CNN offering direct flights home from Poland.
Confider also reported his fall was followed by an internal investigation at CNN:
[Sciutto] was the subject of a CNN internal investigation earlier this year, Confider has learned, after he had a serious fall in Amsterdam enroute home from a reporting trip to the Ukraine. Despite colleagues taking direct flights home from Poland, Sciutto and his producer made a stopover in the Dutch capital where the accident occurred. We hear Sciutto has since recovered from the incident but has been directed by CNN to address a “personal situation.” Sciutto and CNN did not respond to requests for comment.
The article goes on to say: “We hear Sciutto has since recovered from the incident.” The report links his current absence to the Amsterdam trip. It sounds like he recovered from the fall but not the trip with the unnamed producer.
Sciutto has survived unscathed following the recent shake-ups at the network under the tenure of new President Chris Licht, which seem minimal so far. He’s now on leave to clear up his “personal situation.”
Sciutto has been married to former ABC News reporter Gloria Riviera since 2006. The couple have three children.
Injuries suffered from a fall are no reason to be pulled off the air.
Yep, suspicious as hell.
We all know what goes on in Amsterdam.
Why was the ‘producer’ unnamed (usually a guy in war zone)?............
Key words: personal situation, “fall”?/recovered?, flight to Netherlands With Producer, Unnamed Producer?
= Matt Lauer 2.0 + cnn coverup
I think it was more embarrassing for the network that they couldn’t tell us more...............
Alcoholics fall down.
Safe and effective.
My first suspicion too. Could be alcohol related.
You know, he doesn’t look like a boozer but could fit the profile. Ima go with Rx abuse.
Yep. The problem isn’t the fall but the reason for the fall.
Who wrote this crap?
HE suffered from a fall, he took a flight to Netherlands. he has recovered from his fall. Other people took a direct flight from Poland. He went to Netherlands, where he suffered a fall. He has recovered from the fall he took while on a trip to the Netherlands, while other people took a direct flight. But he flew to Netherlands. Where had suffered a fall. He has recovered from the fall.
wtf???
This reads like a gay sex encounter or mistress meeting depending on his preference. But as someone said it’s not the fall it’s the reason for the fall.
It’s sexually related. Possibly a sex crime in Amsterdam. Otherwise they would not have included this little bit of information…
“Sciutto has been married to former ABC News reporter Gloria Riviera since 2006. The couple have three children”
VP Harris is their editor...................
He was in Amsterdam, so......
Maybe it was Hamsterdam?..................😉
Monkeypox popping out on his face.
Can’t cover that up with pancake makeup.
Just a guess …
