The New Yorker suspends writer Jeffrey Toobin after accidental Zoom exposure
The Washington Post ^ | 10/19/2020 | Jeremy Barr

The New Yorker magazine has suspended longtime staff writer Jeffrey Toobin after he inadvertently exposed himself during a virtual staff call last week over the messaging platform Zoom. “Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended while we investigate the matter,” a spokesperson told The Washington Post. Vice.com first reported the suspension on Monday afternoon. The magazine, which has employed Toobin since 1993, did not comment further about the nature of the incident or the length of the suspension. He will also be absent from his longtime television home, CNN, which has employed him as chief legal analyst, amid the incident. “Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted,” a CNN spokesperson said.

He’s a big phoney, and this is only the most recent scandal since he impregnated his student and then denied paternity. The only thing remarkable,is how long he has survived in the Me Too era. Not gonna miss ya.

You know that’s where this is going...”someone hacked my zipper while I was on the zoom call, we’re calling for an fbi investigation”.

Toobin has a history of this sort of stuff.....

A married Toobin also refused to pay child support for a baby he fathered while having an affair with Jeff Greenfield’s daughter...

that is, until a NY court told him otherwise.

“Was it as a dishonorable discharge?”
~~~~~~~~~~~

Or maybe an unintended discharge.

All in all it probably wasn't as uncomfortable for Jeffrey as being on the same stage with Jeff Greenfield

Google it.

“Was it accidental?”
+++++++++++++++++++++++

In the sense that he didn’t mean for them to see or hear what he was doing? Most likely, yes it was truly not intended.

That said, most folks do not enjoy watching someone....get off...or try to get off..... while during a meeting....

I guess that’s how it happened. .....

Oh, dear.

I ought not to have read the article about Toobin; the number 2 link you posted.

My mind’s trying to regurgitate what it read.

Just. Plain. Vile. Ick. Truly sickening.

I’d say he is a little short staffed...

Unknown till we see...(FTA) "the length of the suspension."

19 Oct: Vice: New Yorker Suspends Jeffrey Toobin for Masturbating on Zoom Call
The call was an election simulation featuring New Yorker all-stars. Toobin apologized for the “embarrassingly stupid mistake.”
by Laura Wagner
Two people who were on the call told Motherboard separately that the call was an election simulation featuring many of the New Yorker’s biggest stars: Jane Mayer was playing establishment Republicans; Evan Osnos was Joe Biden, Jelani Cobb was establishment Democrats, Masha Gessen played Donald Trump, Andrew Marantz was the far right, Sue Halpern was left wing democrats, Dexter Filkins was the military, and Jeffrey Toobin playing the courts. There were also a handful of other producers on the call from the New Yorker and WNYC.

Both people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely, noted that it was unclear how much each individual person on the call saw, but both of the people we spoke to said that they saw Toobin jerking off. The two sources described a juncture in the election simulation when there was a strategy session, and the Democrats and Republicans went into their respective break out rooms for about 10 minutes. At this point, they said, it seemed like Toobin was on a second video call. The sources said that when the groups returned from their break out rooms, Toobin lowered the camera. The people on the call said they could see Toobin touching his penis. Toobin then left the call. Moments later, he called back in, seemingly unaware of what his colleagues had been able to see, and the simulation continued...

This piece has been updated with more detail about the call and the headline has been updated to reflect that Toobin was masturbating.

Scott Adams was spot on in predicting something like this.

This is this weekend’s comic strip.
