Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo is seeking a $125 million arbitration award, claiming the network wrongly terminated him, the TV host's legal team said Wednesday.
Cuomo was let go after it emerged that he played an active role in advising his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, when the latter was fighting to stay in office as women accused him of sexual harassment.
"It should, by now, be obvious to everyone that Chris Cuomo did not lie to CNN about helping his brother," Chris Cuomo's attorney Bryan Freedman said in a statement.
"In fact, as the limited information released from WarnerMedia’s investigation makes clear, CNN’s highest-level executives not only knew about Chris’s involvement in helping his brother but also actively assisted the Governor, both through Chris and directly themselves."
During early days of the pandemic in 2020, Gov. Cuomo was a frequent on-air guest of his brother's and Freedman said that cozy relationship clearly had the blessing of CNN.
"As CNN has admitted, network standards were changed in a calculated decision to boost ratings. When those practices were called into question, Chris was made the scapegoat," according to Freedman.

Don’t know if he’ll get all that but as disgusting as it is I suspect he’s gonna come out on top of cnn.
Arbitration? Then we can look for some sealed settlement eventually.
It would be fun to see this play out in a court of law. But I don’t expect we will ever see that happen.
Fired CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has filed an arbitration claim seeking a staggering $125 million from CNN, claiming his “journalistic integrity” was “unjustifiably smeared,” from NY Post.
Lo. Journalistic integrity smeared???? Nothing to smear.
CNN can use 125 million to cause a lot of damage. Cuomo can use 125 million on drugs cars and self pleasure. I say that the world is better off with Cuomo having the money
At this rate cnn will be a Cuomo/Nick Sandmann joint venture.
Jacoby’s gonna make bank..........
If Zucker knew what Fredo was doing and gave his approval then Fredo should probably get a settlement
Everybody hates Chris. Go Chris!
Hope new owners give him ZIP!
That’ll put CNN out of business, or cripple them.
Or, they could hire him back after apologizing, and hire his brother too. would make for ‘must see TV’, that nobody would watch. Part of Chris’s demands would be allowing him to sexually assault the women staff with no repercussions.
Fred’s fired for cause….they should give him a month’s salary for each year worked…but we all know that commies take care of commies…
its always hard to tell which one is the pimp and which one is the whore when liberals eat their own ...they are both self righteous whore and pimps at that point ...
Anything he gets from CNN will just be paid out to the women who are going to accuse him and his brother of sexual harassment.
In fact, his annual salary was more than I could make in many lifetimes.
No wonder these multi-millionaire elitists have no connection to the people who actually make this country run.........
CNN should demand 125 million back.
Everybody gotta cash in.
Just like the “insurrection” information clamp down, CNN will pay...so as to not have to worry about what might come out in discovery...which might expose them even further as the garbage globalist-parrot outfit they are.
Give it to him in rubles.
Fredo Cuomo: “I was stepped over! It ain’t the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I’m smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I’m smart and I want respect!”
