CNN announced Friday that anchor Chris Cuomo will be taking a "long-planned vacation" amid scandals surrounding his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who was found earlier this week to have sexually harassed 11 women.
Chris's name was outlined in the report released Tuesday by New York Attorney General Letitia James, which found Gov. Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women. The report included revelations that, earlier this year, Chris wrote or edited his brother's response to accusations and was provided confidential New York state information despite not being employed by the state.
Back in May, CNN executives suggested Chris take a "temporary leave" following reports that he previously participated in strategy sessions with the governor's top aides and gave his brother advice on how to handle the sexual harassment allegations. He elected not to leave his primetime show in the midst of controversy.
Instead, the week after the AG report on Gov. Cuomo's sex scandal was released, the CNN host will conveniently go on a "long-planned vacation," The New York Times reported.
But Chris, who turns 51 on Monday, said during a Thursday episode of his CNN podcast, “The Handoff,” that he is taking time off for his birthday, pointing out that "every year I take my birthday week off."
