An outside legal counsel informed the network there was cause to fire him. Then a former ABC News colleague's complaint sealed his fate.
The prime-time host and brother of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was suspended Tuesday pending further review. Now he’s gone permanently.CNN suspended Cuomo on Tuesday, a day after the release of a report from the office of New York state Atty. Gen. Letitia James showing that the journalist was deeply involved in shaping the defense of former governor Andrew Cuomo against harassment allegations .
In a statement to the Los Angeles Times, Katz said by Friday she was “in discussions with CNN about providing documentary evidence of my client’s allegations and making my client available for an interview with CNN’s outside counsel.” Katz said the woman decided to come forward after hearing details of the attorney general’s report and Chris Cuomo’s on-air proclamations that he “cared very deeply” about the issue of sexual harassment.
Katz said her client “came forward at this time because she felt in sharing her story and related documentation, she could help protect other women.”“These apparently anonymous allegations are not true,” the representative said in a statement. “If the goal in making these false and unvetted accusations was to see Mr. Cuomo punished by CNN, that may explain his unwarranted termination.”
