New Yorker suspends writer Jeffrey Toobin for showing penis during Zoom call
New York Post ^ | October 19, 2020 | Kate Sheehy

Writer Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended by The New Yorker — because he exposed himself on a Zoom call between magazine colleagues and WNYC workers, a report said Monday.

Toobin told Vice in a statement: “I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers.”

A spokeswoman for the magazine said, “Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended while we investigate the matter.”

Sources told the Web site that the suspension stemmed from Toobin — a Harvard Law School grad who also serves as CNN’s chief legal analyst — showing his privates during the online meeting.

Toobin is a staff writer at The New Yorker and famously covered the OJ Simpson trial for the mag in the 1990s.

He turned his Simpson overage into a book, which fueled FX’s “The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story’’ in 2016.

He is a prolific author who has written about everything from the US Supreme Court to presidents to onetime kidnapped heiress Patty Hearst.

Always put tape over the monitor camera when you aren’t purposefully using it. Not that I care about this clown’s discomfiture. All of these media jerks are really terrible people. I’ve yet to meet a professional reporter who wasn’t a complete @ss.

Toobin was one of the most vile Lefty voices during the impeachment wars.

He's in the same league as Sid "The Squid" Blumenthal.

All these Masters of the Universe who think they know what’s best for us don’t even know how to turn on and off the camera in a Zoom call.
