New Yorker Suspends Jeffrey Toobin for Zoom D*ck Incident
Vice ^ | October 19, 2020 | Laura Wagner

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.

I thought I had muted the Zoom video

People saw him expose himself, but at least they didn't hear him do it.

How could a person “accidentally” do something like this? Was he participating in the meeting while using the toilet?

More like he was noodling his little head during the entire Zoom meeting. Good thing he didn't claim he was hacked.

So who sits there with their schlong hanging out which enables such an “accident”?

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!

I hate how Zoom turns on your microphone and video camera, by default.

There are preferences to disable that. Or should I say "orientation"?

A lot of perverts do this as a power trip to ‘assault’ someone. This is definitely a form of sexual assault

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?
