NYT: CNN Fired Chris Cuomo After Learning Of Alleged Sexual Assault In His ABC Office With Young Temp In 2011

The New York Times reported Wednesday that former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was fired after outlet executives learned of an alleged sexual assault that took place years earlier while Cuomo was working with ABC News.

The alleged incident occurred back in 2011 when a young temp employee, referred to as Jane Doe, hoping for a full time position at ABC snagged a lunch meeting with Cuomo after he reportedly offered her career advice. The NYT reported there are emails, a letter and the woman’s testimony to corroborate the meeting.

When Doe arrived at the meeting, there was no food, the NYT reported. Instead, Doe alleges Cuomo asked for sex and after she rejected his request he allegedly assaulted her before she fled the room. In a bid to smooth things over, Doe reportedly sent Cuomo several friendly emails.

Five friends and former colleagues told the NYT that Doe confided to them about Cuomo’s alleged sexual advances. The alleged victim said she only recently clarified that Cuomo also assaulted her because it was too painful to recount, according to the NYT.

Then in the midst of the #MeToo movement, Cuomo allegedly reached out to Doe out of nowhere, according to the NYT.

“After years without any substantive communication from Mr. Cuomo whatsoever, Ms. Doe suspected he was concerned about her coming forward publicly with her allegations and wanted to use the proposed segment as an opportunity to ‘test the waters’ and discourage her from going on the record about his sexual misconduct,” Debra S. Katz, a sexual harassment lawyer wrote, according to the NYT.

The NYT says it reviewed messages exchanged between Doe and Cuomo, and spoke to Doe’s boss at the time, who said after the segment aired, Doe confided about the alleged incident.

Katz said Doe was “deeply traumatized” but does not want to be “a pawn in an internecine war between Zucker, Chris Cuomo and CNN” and “requests privacy.”

So how did this allegation lead to Cuomo’s firing?

The Chris Cuomo/CNN Saga Abruptly Takes a Dark Turn
By Sister Toldjah | Feb 16, 2022 11:15 AM ET

Back in late November when now-former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was “suspended indefinitely” from the network, they gave the impression that the impetus behind it was documents that were released days earlier by New York State Attorney General Tish James’ office about Cuomo’s role in helping craft a targeted response strategy to the sexual harassment allegations made against his brother and then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).

The documents, which included copies of text messages, revealed that Chris Cuomo’s role in advising his brother was much more expansive than either he or CNN had previously acknowledged.

Two days after they suspended him, then-CNN president Jeff Zucker announced they’d fired him – but in their statement, they included an intriguing bit of information left unexplained.

“While in the process of that review [of his involvement with his brother’s defense], additional information has come to light. Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate,” they wrote.

As we reported in December, speculation was swirling that the “additional information” had something to do with a former “junior colleague” of Cuomo’s when he worked for ABC News. That former co-worker, through her lawyer, had recently made CNN aware of an alleged incident involving alleged “sexual misconduct” on his part back in 2011.

11 Years, it took 11 years for this to come out.

Zucker was running CNN like it was the Kennedy Hyannisport family compound.
