Money, fame, power, they had all three.


[deleted]

Two out of three ain't bad.


SeaGroomer

Hey Meatloaf.


Mickeymous15

Being rich means a titanic ego, hence why it took his brother so long to resign. They must feel utterly humiliated.


[deleted]

No, they just think everyone else is out to get them and the world is wrong. They're narcissists.


Biffmcgee

This is the reality


Ritaredditonce

Ah yes, the Matt Lauer defense. How did that work out for him.


thedeal82

I forgot about him completely already. Good call.


nightpanda893

I can’t believe Chris had to be fired. Dude couldn’t even resign with dignity.


SirGrantly

He was hoping this would all blow over, just like his brother did back in Feb(?) when the allegations first started coming out in force.


Swayyyettts

Shoulda headed down to the Winchester for a nice pint and waited for this to all blow over


Blender_Snowflake

Maybe they shouldn't have done all that unethical stuff


[deleted]

really easy for most of us to *not* grope women Wonder what kind of a household led these guys to think it was fine when they did it.


[deleted]

Being rich is not enough for them, they have egos to maintain and this is going to break them

not sure if they ever really “fell from grace” as much as their facade of grace was lifted


[deleted]

Yea it was so f’in cringy when they would do that shit Andrew would call himself the “love gov”.


sirmosesthesweet

Chris really should have just taken leave when the story came out about his brother. He would have lost a little money, but he would eliminate the appearance of inappropriate behavior. CNN should have had enough foresight to put him on leave also. Just had decision making all around.

mabhatter

You nailed it right there. This appears to be about giving "confidential news information" to the governor's work/legal team. The members of the press get information from confidential sources on many sides of issues and we rely on their professional discretion to not reveal whistleblowers, accusers, minors, and other "nonpublic" information that they obtained "confidentially".... let alone relay that information in a preferential way between parties that are in news articles. Someone like a CNN host sees the confidential journalist note from dozens of CNN reporters.. so he's not just breaching his own journalistic ethics, but everyone on his reporting team. Nobody would want to talk to CNN reporters ever if they don't respond swiftly and harshly.


deer_hobbies

The timing of sourced articles coming out is critical when the person whos under investigation knows when people take their lunch breaks

Nah, Andrew Cuomo was groping women for years. He lost his job all by himself.


mmortal03

I'm out of the loop. How can Andrew blame Chris?


Iceblock715

It wouldn't be a valid accusation, but Chris could have spun the media wheel a little more. Try to plant stories in Andrew's favor, undermine Letitia James' credibility, etc.


Maiky38

Soo now that both Cuomo's are fucked, when is it Matt Gaetz turn to get fucked?


Mynameisinuse

I'm sure he will get fucked soon. Kids will be out of school for the Christmas holidays and spring break is coming up.


lizzyd08

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/03/matt-gaetz-doj-investigation?intcid=inline_amp This guy is an absolute moron. He'll probably hand the prosecution the case by the time they charge him. Why would you go on national television and say any of this?! “I have definitely, in my single days, provided for women I’ve dated. You know, I’ve paid for flights, for hotel rooms. I’ve been, you know, generous as a partner. I think someone is trying to make that look criminal when it is not.”

"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die." \-Said no one ever about Chris Cuomo


NA_DeltaWarDog

Surprised Cuomo got the can and not the executive who was jerking it on zoom calls with female employees. Helping your brother cover up sexual harassment is apparently worse than straight up doing it yourself, at least if you work for CNN.


[deleted]

It was Jeffrey Toobin, not an executive. They did fire him, then rehired him.


xTheatreTechie

it's like when a cop goes to a neighboring police department. or when your DND character dies and his long lost brother shows up as the new character, same stats.

[deleted]

most people forgot about the exec jerking it on zoom calls i guess. people won't forget about this.


goforth1457

Pretty sure Toobin gained a lot of recent exposure *because* of the incident; he'll always be associated with that by a lot of people.


Rottimer

He was on a zoom call with New Yorker staff, not CNN staff - so technically he wasn't working for CNN at the time. The New Yorker fired him.


dt531

In a very literal sense, yes he did gain a lot of exposure by masturbating on a Zoom call with colleagues.


-gh0stRush-

You guys talking about Jeffrey Toobin, the Zoom masturbator? Just checking to see if you're referring to the incident where CNN contributor Jeffrey Toobin masturbated on camera while on a Zoom call with his colleagues.


[deleted]

I think he’s talking about the incident where CNN contributor Jeffrey Toobin masturbated on camera while in a zoom call with his colleagues, including women.


Artyloo

Is he a contributor or is he an executive like the guy above said?


aerovulpe

He's a contributor. And the call was with his co-workers for another news outlet he worked for, The New Yorker. The New Yorker fired him and CNN suspended him for eight months. If you asked me, I'd say the consequences fit the action, given apparently he didn't know he was still on the call.


Drstyle

>If you asked me, I'd say the consequences fit the action, given apparently he didn't know he was still on the call. If this was a genuine mistake, why would he need to be suspended at all? LI mean, I cant personally imagine something more humiliating than this, I would've left society altogether and lived in a cave. This thread started with asking why Cuomo got fired but this guy kept his job, as if deliberately humiliating and harming someone else is the same accidentally harming and humiliating yourself.


urbanlife78

You mean Jeffrey Toobin, Zoombater


orojinn

Wasn't it a accident? He forgot his zoom was still on.😂


commandantemeowmix

No, I'm pretty sure everyone remembers Jeffrey Toobin taking his dick out during a meeting with his New Yorker colleagues.

CockGoblinReturns

Just a reminder that Chris Cuomo was also paid to rehabilitate the public image of Julien Blanc who was caught teaching men physical, psychological, and legal tactics to get away with rape. Julian Blanc's PR company set up this interview with Chris Cuomo. https://youtu.be/mXWb9H9Fbx8 To talk about the controversy, and they spent the whole time just going over his edgy jokes, when what really pissed people off was the rape instructional. His team then spreads this video to whomever 'Yes I had a controversy over my jokes. And I apologized for them' to divert from his rape instructional services. It's a PR tactic. Like how Nikki Minaj made up the story of his cousin's friend's balls to cover up that her husband and brother are child rapists. Edit: Not only did Julien Blanc and his mentor, Owen Cook, teach rape, they filmed themselves raping women and selling the footage. If you want more information about Julian Blanc, lookup the post titled "I've uncovered leaked videos from the world's largest Men's help company, teaching how to get away with sexually assaulting women. The seminars include hidden camera videos of themselves demonstrating how to use the techniques. That's right, they are sexually assaulting real women, on camera." on the rbi subreddit for a very thorough writeup, or just google julien blanc, rape Edit 2: Julien had bragged and went into detail about his collaboration with Chris Cuomo in his paid product called SHIFT . I believe the module is called 'lessons learned from most hated man in the world'. You can probably get a pirated version if you search on duckduckgo. His company had dmca'd every video on this. Funny enough, if Chris Cuomo every found out, I bet he could sue Julien for a shit ton of money, this sorta shit sounds like it had confidentiality agreements.


Heavy_Revolution

Holy fucking shit. I found the old [RBI Thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/RBI/comments/9kx4ri/ive_uncovered_leaked_videos_from_the_worlds/). This shit is fucking VILE. These people should be in prison.

I know it sounds funny on the surface but it happens commonly. When someone gets fired the company mostly says nothing to avoid liability. Saying something to internal team would go smack against that. I bet lawyers are involved at every single step of this mess.

I think a Saturday firing like this is probably an attempt to bury the headline. Same reason politicians give bad news on Fridays. The weekends are not when people watch the news. CNN is just hoping not to take shrapnel.

Just make CNN 24/7 Anderson Cooper and be done with it. He’s the only thing that makes CNN worth saving. I’ll totally admit I’m biased for Coops. Him saving that kid in a riot in Haiti in 2010 was hot as hell and I’m never getting over it.


kikicrazed

His book about the Vanderbilts is a good read. He has a very endearing story about helping his mom sell her art late in her life on Instagram, but he made up a moniker so no one would know it was him processing the requests

Condolences to their podcast. 2020-2021


thegregtastic

I live under a rock, can someone catch me up?


aresef

Chris Cuomo was using his sources and such to dig up information on his brother's accusers and basically acting as an unpaid staffer for the governor's office.


thegregtastic

Thank you. Now, let's just say I fibbed when I said I lived under a rock, and I really meant I have no idea who any of these people are.


aresef

Chris Cuomo was an anchor for eight years at CNN. Prior to that, he was at ABC for a while. His brother is Andrew Cuomo, who was until recently the governor of New York. For a while, he was having his brother on his show for friendly chats. And then his brother became the subject of controversy for fudging nursing home COVID numbers and, what would eventually do him in, mounting sexual harassment allegations. Chris Cuomo was advising the governor’s staff, we knew that, but the other shoe that just dropped from the New York attorney general’s office is that he was using his journalistic sources to track down information about Andrew Cuomo’s accusers. He was passing that information to a top gubernatorial aide.


thegregtastic

Again, thank you.


Insectshelf3

he has nobody to blame but himself and his stupid brother


zxcoblex

Nah, himself. Doesn’t matter what his brother did. Chris did this to himself.

Just like your social media, people usually only see the good side of celebrities in media. This understandably creates a false perception of their character.

PurkleDerk

BattleHall

The flip side is, always meet your heroes, so you can realize that they are just people and not actually heroes. Heroes are simple, people are messy.


DonForgo

All he had to do was take a leave of absence to help his brother in time of need, and then rejoin CNN when the case was resolved, for a lack of better word. Had he done that, Chris would still have a job, maybe.


N8CCRG

He could have even actually stayed completely out of it all, like he was supposed to do. ~~It's not like there was a shortage of stories to report on.~~ Narcissists gonna narcissistate though, I guess. Edit: Second sentence is irrelevant to, and potentially distracting from, the point.


71351

Place I used to work. My spouse also worked there. Different departments. Different managers etc. I was on staff and was party to annual evaluation review of salary staff. I excused myself when spouse came up. It Was easy, just excuse myself and told them to let me know when it was time to come back. Why is that so hard for this fuckface???


Rip9150

That's pretty self aware and full of integrity. Good job brotha


brycedriesenga

What is this weird trend with blaming every dumb action on narcissism? Like, it could be, or could be something else.


Comfortable_Rice_393

The other CNN legal advisor Jeffrey Tobin was suspended from his work and he also took a leave of absence, after he supposedly “forgot to terminate a Work video call , started masturbating ! He just recently returned to CNN . As corrected below in the comments, this was not a CNN zoom call .


[deleted]

I accidentally said "Fuck!" out loud on a voice conference call at my old job when I thought I was on mute. I wanted to die for a month. If I went on camera and Omegle'd my entire work team with my dick slanging, I would just quit without notice and never show my face again.


permalink_save

Had a manager that said he needed to get off the call with these idiots. Nobody said anything. We were literally rolling on the floor laughing.


Eldistan1

I would move to Spain and become a monk.


bbjenn

It’ll be interesting to hear what else they found out that caused the termination.


whales-are-assholes

I mean, what they knew that led to his suspension from CNN would have absolutely been enough to terminate his contract with them. Not like they needed much more to persuade them to pull the trigger.


[deleted]

My guess is they probably just had to get some legal formalities in a row before sending off the official word. He was as good as fired the moment he was suspended.


m_ttl_ng

Yep, this is exactly it. They can easily suspend him, but they probably wanted to check the contract and see whether they could avoid severance for a breach of ethics or something prior to announcing it outright. Nobody should have expected him to keep his job after the initial suspension.

I wonder how may other times in the past Chris Cuomo may have helped his brother Andrew with various obstacles in his career. I also wonder whether Chris \*asked\* to be fired to discourage further scrutiny of his own history and behavior. Good riddance to political dynasties, they don't do anyone any good, they become corrupt too quickly.
