CNN or Hugh Hefner's Grotto?
A year after disgraced CNN chief Jeff Zucker resigned over his relationship with co-worker Allison Gollust, it appears we have another affair inside the CNN house.
Page Six reports that Jake Tapper’s executive producer, Federico Quadrani, was ousted from the news network last week after it came to light that he’d been hooking up with a subordinate.
Word is that the EP was this/close to skating by HR’s probe when Tapper was “presented with something that he couldn’t ignore” last Wednesday, and his right-hand man was out at CNN by Friday, we’re told.
“Jake was made aware of it and acted quickly. Someone discovered something accidentally and brought it to Tapper. He delivered it to [human resources], and they were terminated,” the second source told Page Six.
Somewhere Jeff Zucker is smiling.
