BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo is seeking a $125 million arbitration award, alleging that his former network wrongly terminated him.
Lawyers for the disgraced newsman argue that “Cuomo has been damaged in countless ways” by being “unceremoniously” fired late last year.
The filing states that the amount former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s brother is demanding is based on lost back pay, bonuses and future earnings — but mostly because Chris was disparaged by former boss Jeff Zucker and fellow CNN anchors. The court documents also stated that Cuomo’s wife will testify that his reputation has been smeared, alleging that she noticed that he is being ignored by potential mistresses that he regularly flirts with.
Attorneys for CNN stated that it is inaccurate that Cuomo was fired “unceremoniously”, based on the fact that “as soon as the former host cleaned out his desk and began to slink out of his office, within the building there was an all day ceremony/party rejoicing in his exit.”
