More Info Surfaces on CNN's Former Top Lieutenant
/CNN is still reeling over the fact that their boss Jeff Zucker was fired and his top lieutenant I.e. girlfriend Allison Gollust was as well.
Gollust ran the marketing for CNN and it appears that she had no problems crossing boundaries at the cable net.
The Wall Street Journal reports that an investigation initiated by CNN’s parent company WarnerMedia showed that Gollust had advised CNN host Chris Cuomo on how to help brother Andrew Cuomo after the then-New York governor was accused of sexual harassment.
Chris Cuomo was fired by Jeff Zucker for helping his brother fight the sexual harassment claims.
It appears that while Cuomo was rightfully fired, Zucker did not take any action against Gollust, who he was/is dating.
Gollust camp denies the story calling it “far-fetched” and part of a smear campaign.
Allison Gollust is not a Journalist, but if the investigation is correct, she clearly would have known that her actions were unethical.
As for Jeff Zucker, he is supposedly a Journalist and was the leader of CNN.
The fact that his girlfriend was helping Cuomo, without him having any knowledge of it seems, as Gollust camp would say, “far-fetched.”
