Ousted Chris Cuomo forced Jeff Zucker's resignation from CNN by blowing the whistle on his years-long, open-secret affair with staffer Allison Gollust while fighting for his $18million severance pay, according unnamed media sources.

In a statement on Wednesday, Zucker said he was stepping down for failing to disclose his relationship with Gollust when he was being interviewed as part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo.

He and Gollust claim the romance started during COVID, but media sources tell DailyMail.com it long predates the pandemic and was an open-secret in the CNN offices.

They lived in the same apartment building with their respective families, have worked together at NBC and then CNN for more than 20 years, and had what some called an 'uncomfortably cozy' rapport.

Families? Oh, they mean where their husbands/wives live.

Strange = Expensive

I like that they are turning on each other now, as criminals tend to do when things start going bad.

She’s not a staffer. She’s an Executive VP at CNN.

here is another good headline that you probably wont see in the US

EXCLUSIVE: Whoopi Goldberg was placed on two week UNPAID suspension by ABC boss Kim Godwin after on-air apology to put an end to ‘free-for-all’ where she and Joy Behar ‘could say and do whatever they wanted’

Why did she have an affair with someone as hideous looking as Zucker? Because he’s rich and powerful.

Why did he have an affair with this moderately attractive woman? Because she let him.

Which calls to mind that joke about the man who had a talking dog and wanted a pack of cigarettes, so he gave the mutt a twenty dollar bill and sent him to the store. The guy sits back and waits: fifteen minutes, half an hour, then an hour, and there’s no sign of the dog. Fearing the worst, the guy puts on his coat and walks halfway down the block to find his dog in the middle of the street, doing the dirty with a female Cockapoo. “Spot!” he cries, dismayed, “you’ve never done this before!” To which the mutt replies, “Yeah, but I’ve never had money!”

I have a hard time this long-standing affair is the real reason for his ouster.

Sounds like a convenient excuse for something else...

the affair isnt the reason..its the lie.
