Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo lost his job three days after a legal professional for a former colleague contacted the community with an allegation of sexual misconduct, the New York Times said on Saturday.

Cuomo was suspended on Tuesday amid a probe into his efforts to assist his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), in overcoming several allegations of sexual misconduct. The network announced his termination on Saturday.

Consistent with the New York Instances, lawyer Debra Katz contacted CNN on Wednesday a couple of client who had an accusation of sexual misconduct against Chris Cuomo. Katz, who represents Andrew Cuomo accuser Charlotte Bennett, mentioned the client used to be a former junior colleague at any other network and the accusation was once “unrelated to the Gov. Andrew Cuomo matter.”

The Times pronounced that Katz’s client “came ahead as a result of she was once disgusted via Chris Cuomo’s on-air statements in keeping with the allegations made towards his brother” together with Chris Cuomo’s commentary that he has “all the time cared very deeply about these considerations, and profoundly so.”

Whereas the file notes it’s currently unclear the level of affect the new allegation had within the decision to fireplace the CNN anchor, a spokesperson for the community said in a observation on Saturday: “In response to the file we acquired concerning Chris’s conduct along with his brother’s defense, we had lead to to terminate. When new allegations came to us this week, we took them seriously, and saw no cause to delay taking immediate action.”

Steven Goldberg, a spokesperson for Chris Cuomo, hit back at the file of the new allegation, calling “these it appears anonymous allegations” unfaithful.

“He fully stands with the aid of his on-air statements about his connection to those concerns, each professionally and in a profoundly personal method,” Goldberg delivered. “If the goal in making these false and unvetted accusations used to be to look Mr. Cuomo punished via CNN, that will explain his unwarranted termination.”
