Ex-CNN chief Jeff Zucker was ousted to bolster AT&T’s case against Chris Cuomo: sources

Cuomo’s lawyers argued AT&T was involved in selective enforcement, according to the sources. Zucker — who violated company policy by dating a colleague without disclosing it — was able to hold onto his cushy job, but Cuomo had gotten the boot for helping his brother, now-former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, navigate sexual harassment claims.

So... let's see... since Chris Cuomo was shoved out -- two CNN staffers were unmasked and fired as child molesters. Several staff members were disciplined or let go for sexual harassment. And now Zucker has been shown the door. It's beginning to look like Chris Cuomo is spreading all the dirt he knew about and is burning CNN down as he leaves. Or just hijacking them for a large exit payment.

Of note, the woman also had a responsibility to report the relationship but did not. So arguably there could be more to come with that.

She can defend herself but doing the usual routine that she was so seriously intimidated and subdued by Zucker that she should not be held to compliance because she is a victim. But of course that would take it to another level beyond where Zucker apparently wants to leave- which is his allegation that everything was consensual he and he just failed to report.

Also, Zucker and CNN make comments to the extent that this is just something that came up as part of the state, the network and others doing a deep dive on the Cuomo's. They may be, but I don't personally know that to be true. That may just be their attempt to cover up disclosing that the investigation reached Zuckers doors and what they found about Zucker's involvement was not pretty. Don't know yet.

MORE TO COME.

MORE TO COME.

I think because he was the higher executive position and the man, the burden was put on him to report and reveal as he was in an inappropriate relationship with someone he supervises. That is where all the potential litigation comes from but I still think as you say she had some obligation as well and got off with no punishment for banging her boss...

TWO CONSENTING ADULTS WHO WORK AT THE SAME COMPANY CANNOT HAVE SEX.

Is this the new woke thing?

I mean, why is this bad?

Explain to me why I, as a CEO, cannot have sex with my secretary. You have 20 seconds. GO!

yeah I assume you are kidding or just never heard of lawsuits

Yep, there are general legal principles that apply but those get supplemented by a company's own policies on such matters, if there are such established policies.

Apparently there are and she -at least for now in some way- acknowledges that he had obligations here as well.

Such reporting policies are not just all about whether the woman was abused or victimized. It is also about the opposite: Is the woman receiving preferential treatment - similar to the factors that go with nepotism- such as in job assignments, promotions etc- just because she is porking the big guy. She is a senior manager herself and should be held to account. Oh, and how did she get promoted to that job and did she have a leg up (little pun there) over some of the other female employees. Not sure she can just walk away from this and say "hey, everything be cool because I was not abused and actually I been pretty happy."

Alright, nuff. Just had that little add-in.

The announcement stunned the media world and network staffers on Wednesday. According to CNN, Mr Zucker had a relationship with the company’s chief marketing officer, Allison Gollust. Ms Gollust acknowledged in her own statement that she, like Mr Zucker, should have disclosed the relationship to company human resources staffers. Instead, it was revealed in the course of an investigation into Chris Cuomo.
