CNN's Infighting
/
Turn on CNN and you'll likely see two or more people yelling at each other.
Well, it appears the same thing happens behind the camera at CNN as well.
Page Six tattles that CNN's Jeff Zucker and CNN's veteran publicist Allison Gollust were seen in a heated exchange at the 35 Most Powerful People in NY Media party.
Zucker and Gollust suddenly began speaking intensely and making anguished hand gestures before Gollust strode purposefully away into the crowd.
Sources told Page Six the kerfuffle wasn’t a fight between the pair but had to do with business that spilled over from the office. “It was something they were dealing with at CNN all day,” said a source, adding “it wasn’t an argument.” Gollust joined CNN in 2013 after leaving NBC, where she and Zucker had worked together for 15 years.
“It looked like she was reprimanding her husband or something,” laughed one baffled rival exec of the exchange.
Back about a dozen years ago, FTVLive called Gollust, then at NBC, about a story we were working on. She promised to call us right back. 12 years later, we're still waiting for that call.
Publicist?
Pffffttttt.
