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.

He has balls the size of planters peanuts.
can ...not...understand...this......most all women do not care about such things so when a guy does this is it has be some kind of homo thing....
It was a Zoom conference call.
People saw him expose himself, but at least they didn't hear him do it.
Very true. I won’t use it because of that.
Wiener Toobin
Sounds like some perverted winter activity.
More like he was noodling his little head during the entire Zoom meeting. Good thing he didn't claim he was hacked.
Eeew.
LOL!
Next will be the excuse, "my computer was hacked by the Rooskies".
Very weird. He never ever explains exactly why it would occur to him to do something like this...just an oopsie that he got caught.
Now there is the zoom meeting attendee, a woman, who decided to go and use the bathroom in the middle of the meting and didn’t turn her off her video feed..the expressions on the faces of the other folks were wonderful!
There are preferences to disable that. Or should I say "orientation"?
All i wanna do is stick my zoom zoom zoom in your boom boom boom.
I don’t get it, was he masturbating? That has to be it.
A lot of perverts do this as a power trip to ‘assault’ someone. This is definitely a form of sexual assault
Did Jeffery say “Excuse me while I whip this out!.........”
TUBE IN TO CNN!
Thought he was zooming with his underage girlfriend? An innocent mistake.
He believed he had muted his Zoom. I think we can all figure out what happened here.
Seriously... he thinks it would’ve been OK to jack off during a Zoom meeting if he HAD managed to blank out his screen?
