CNN Suspends Contributor
CNN has put one of their contributors on the bench after allegations of misconduct.
The network suspended Paris Dennard, who previously worked at Arizona State University before he was fired four years ago "for making sexually explicit comments and gestures toward women.
According to the 2014 report, Dennard did not dispute those claims but said he committed the acts jokingly. The investigation began after the woman and a second female employee told superiors Dennard’s actions went too far and had made them uncomfortable.
Dennard, a CNN political commentator, opinion contributor to the Hill, and regular guest on NPR’s “Here & Now,” was working at the time as events director for ASU’s McCain Institute for International Leadership.
"We are aware of reports of accusations against Paris Dennard. We are suspending Paris, effective immediately, while we look into the allegations," CNN said.
In other words, bye Felicia.
