BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Former CNN boss Jeff Zucker has reportedly agreed to a deal with CNN parent company WarnerMedia over his swift exit from the network that will award him roughly $10 million in exchange for not suing after being forced to resign last month.
“Details of the confidential package are obviously being kept close to the vest, but sources tell us Zucker made the decision several weeks ago to accept what had been put on the table by his old bosses at the time of his cable news exit. What we do know is that, if WarnerMedia keeps their side of the deal, in the next week to 10 days, Zucker will receive a one-time payment of around $10 million,” Deadline’s Dominic Patten and Ted Johnson wrote, citing “sources.”
Chris Cuomo responded to Zucker’s settlement.
“Where’s my money?” Cuomo began. “I should be getting a big paycheck too! Even though Zucker was in a consensual relationship, and I used my position to intimidate young interns to put-out, I need all the money I can get! Because when my long list of sexually harassed victims start suing me, I have to start paying them off or I risk them publicly exposing my disturbing level of ghoulish creepiness.”
