CNN Fires Chris Cuomo Reportedly Over New Sexual Misconduct Allegation

2021, the year of the Cuomos.

First, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is forced to resign over sexual misconduct allegations now brother Chris “Fredo” Cuomo has been fired from CNN.

On Saturday evening, CNN announced that Cuomo was gone, saying in a statement:

"Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his brother's defense. We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately."

Attorney Debra Katz tells CNBC that a new sexual misconduct allegation is what led to the firing of Cuomo.

Katz said her client came forward after Cuomo made comments on-air relating to caring about sexual harassment issues and following the revelation that he helped his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, respond to sexual harassment allegations.

Katz said in a statement:

“Hearing the hypocrisy of Chris Cuomo’s on-air words and disgusted by his efforts to try to discredit these women, my client retained counsel to report his serious sexual misconduct against her to CNN.”

Katz says her client reported the allegations to CNN and offered to provide “documentary evidence” of her allegations.

Katz is also representing Charlotte Bennett, a former health policy advisor in Andrew Cuomo’s administration who accused the former governor of inappropriate behavior.

Cuomo said in response to his firing:

Bye Fredo…
