More details emerge in Jeffrey Toobin Zoom masturbation scandal
Despite his supposed downfall, Toobin is holding on to his post as senior legal analyst at CNN.

More details emerged Tuesday in Jeffrey Toobin’s caught-on-Zoom masturbation saga — as Malcolm Gladwell and others rushed to the disgraced journalist’s defense.
New Yorker staff writer Masha Gessen described in a New York Times article the now-infamous Oct. 15 video call that led to Toobin’s fall from grace.
“It wasn’t a full-out sexual act, but it was much more than a second,†Gessen said. “I was really, truly shocked.â€
During the virtual gathering — attended by other New Yorker notables and WNYC public radio staffers — Toobin, 60, “was seen lowering and raising his computer camera, exposing and touching his penis, and motioning an air kiss to someone other than his colleagues,†the Times reported.
The incident was “traumatic†at the time, Gessen said — and led to Toobin getting ripped on social media, “The Tonight Show†and even spawned the hashtag #MeToobin after Vice broke the story.
