Through the course of investigating CNN’s disgraced anchor Andrew Cuomo, it was uncovered that CNN President Jeff Zucker had an undisclosed consensual relationship with a colleague, forcing Zucker to step down from CNN.
As reported by the New York Times, Zucker sent a memo out alerting CNN employees of his departure.
“As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years. I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong.”
As a result, I am resigning today.
I came to CNN on January 28, 2013. Together, we had nine great years. I certainly wish my tenure here had ended differently. But it was an amazing run. And I loved every minute.
I am grateful to the thousands of incredibly talented CNN and Turner Sports employees who helped make this such a joy for me, and a success for all of us.
I wish each of you nothing but the best in the years ahead.
With gratitude and much love.
Jeff
