Jeff Zucker out at CNN after failing to disclose ‘consensual relationship' with colleague: ‘I was wrong'
|
[FoxNews] Embattled CNN boss Jeff Zucker walked away from the liberal network on Wednesday after failing to disclose a "consensual relationship" with a CNN staffer.
| No wonder he wasn’t concerned about the known antics of those who recently had to leave. Also no wonder he was divorced in 2019 after a quarter century of marriage to the mother of his four children. |
"As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years. I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong. As a result, I am resigning today," Zucker wrote in a memo to staffers shared by CNN’s Brian Stelter.
"I came to CNN on January 28, 2013. Together, we had nine great years. I certainly wish my tenure here had ended differently. But it was an amazing run. And I loved every minute," Zucker continued. "I am grateful to the thousands of incredibly talented CNN and Turner Sports employees who helped make this such a joy for me, and such a success for all of us. I wish each of you nothing but the best in the years ahead."
Stelter noted that CNN staffers were "stunned" by the sudden resignation.
Under Zucker, CNN has recently been plagued by scandals, embarrassing headlines and struggles to attract an audience, leading critics to wonder if he would be shown the door once a planned merger between WarnerMedia and Discovery is finalized later this year. However, the sudden resignation before the potential deal was finalized sent shock waves across the media industry.
Zucker’s relationship was with CNN marketing chief Allison Gollust, who the now-former CNN boss has long been speculated to have a relationship with. Gollust will remain at CNN, according to Stelter.
Don Lemon? Jeffrey "Spanks" Toobin? Or just bailing with Dem Street Cred before he gets fired for the ratings collapse?
CNN president Jeff Zucker announced his resignation on Wednesday, following an acknowledgment that he had failed to disclose a romantic relationship with another senior executive at CNN.
"As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years," Zucker wrote in a memo to staff. "I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong."
Zucker was referring to his relationship with CNN executive vice president and chief marketing officer Allison Gollust, according to the New York Times.
Gollust said Wednesday she plans to remain in her role at the company.
"Face it, I'm a whore, always have been, always will be"
"Jeff and I have been close friends and professional partners for over 20 years," she wrote. "Recently, our relationship changed during Covid. I regret that we didn’t disclose it at the right time. I’m incredibly proud of my time at CNN and look forward to continuing the great work we do everyday."
Gollust served as a communications director for Andrew Cuomo for just four months in 2012 and 2013 before quitting to join CNN.
