Allison Gollust Resigns From CNN After Investigation Finds She Violated CNN's (giggle) "Standards" (LOL)

So now CNN's "standards" are restored to their pristine factory settings.

Gollust seems to be threatening a lawsuit herself -- she claims, improbably, that her firing is "retaliation."

For what, it's not clear. Consider it a placeholder for grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit to be imagineered later.

As has been widely suspected -- in fact, I think it's been "reported" (whatever counts as "reporting" these days (modern "reporting" is just speculation with most of the caveats stripped out) -- Chris Cuomo was not fired for aiding and abetting his brother's sexual harassment defense, which Zucker and Gollust of course knew all about as they were in on it, but for having (allegedly) sexually harassed a woman himself.

Late in the day on Nov. 30, Jeff Zucker, the president of CNN Worldwide, summoned his star anchor and friend, Chris Cuomo, to a meeting in the network's skyscraper overlooking the Hudson River.
Mr. Zucker was joined by the network's chief marketing officer -- and his secret romantic partner -- Allison Gollust. They had to deliver a delicate message.
Mr. Zucker told Mr. Cuomo that CNN was suspending him because of his unethical interactions with his brother, New York's governor. Mr. Cuomo was shocked and offered to resign. Mr. Zucker countered that the anchor might be able to return at some point, according to people with knowledge of the conversation.
Mr. Cuomo felt reassured. He and Mr. Zucker were confidants, their fortunes entwined. Mr. Cuomo didn't bother to consult a lawyer.
Barely 24 hours later, a letter arrived at CNN. It was from a lawyer representing a woman who had worked with Mr. Cuomo years earlier at ABC News. She said he had sexually assaulted her and that, in the heat of the #MeToo movement, Mr. Cuomo had tried to keep her quiet by arranging a flattering CNN segment about her employer at the time.
The letter described it as an "abuse of power at CNN to attempt to silence my client."
...
It relayed a story that had begun in 2011 when the woman, who was referred to as Jane Doe, was a young temporary ABC employee hoping for a full-time job. One day, after Mr. Cuomo, an anchor, had offered her career advice, he invited her to lunch in his office, according to the letter, interviews with the woman and emails between her and Mr. Cuomo.
When she arrived, there was no food. Instead, Mr. Cuomo badgered her for sex, and after she declined, he assaulted her, she said. She ran out of the room...
Ms. Katz's letter said that at the height of the #MeToo uprising, after TV personalities like Charlie Rose and Matt Lauer were felled by misconduct allegations, Mr. Cuomo contacted the woman, seemingly out of the blue.
Mr. Cuomo proposed arranging a CNN segment about the company where she worked doing public relations. The woman tried to avoid any contact with Mr. Cuomo, but CNN ultimately broadcast a segment anyway...
On Friday, Dec. 3, two days after Ms. Katz sent the letter, she and a lawyer for CNN made plans for her to hand over evidence to substantiate the woman’s claims.
Before that even happened, Mr. Zucker fired Mr. Cuomo the next afternoon.

These were not even the first allegations of sexual battery made against Fredo.

Complaints soon began surfacing about the younger Mr. Cuomo.
Shelley Ross, a longtime TV news executive and Mr. Cuomo's former boss at ABC, wrote in a Times opinion piece in September that Mr. Cuomo had groped her at a 2005 party. (Mr. Cuomo apologized.)
Around the same time, The New York Post reported that Mr. Cuomo's former producer, Melanie Buck, had asked to be removed from "Cuomo Prime Time" because she found his conduct to be threatening.

The article notes that Fredo was viewed as a bully by his coworkers, and that his emails often had a "threatening" tone.

That checks out, given that Fredo has been nonstop threats the past few weeks.

Fredo, the article reports, felt aggrieved. He thought he'd been fired "without due process," and feared that reports of this newest allegation of sexual assault would appear in the media.

Coincidentally, it was at that time that Fredo's new lawyer, known for roughhouse tactics, began making blackmailish noises about Zucker's and Gollust's dealings with Andrew Cuomo.

And their secret dealings with each other's privates.

Seriously, how does he ever get another job? Who wants to work with an alleged repeat sexual assaulter and a blackmailer?

On Dec. 5, Mr. Freedman sent a letter to CNN demanding that the network preserve all documents related to any dealings between any CNN employee and anyone in the governor's office.
It was a clear signal that a key element of Mr. Cuomo's defense would be that Mr. Zucker and others at CNN had acted similarly to Mr. Cuomo in communicating with the governor, with no repercussions.

One more thing:

The new complaining witness came forward... after the arrogant bully Fredo "taunted" her.

Well, he didn't actually taunt her, but she took it that way.

What she took as a taunt was this alleged serial sexual assailant... proclaiming how deeply he cared about the #MeToo movement.

Like all of these monsters do.

When you hear a leftwing man talking about how much he cares about #MeToo or sensitivity towards women, what you should hear is a rape whistle.

The moment Chris Cuomo 'taunted' his sex assault accuser into coming forward: ABC staffer reported him to CNN after he claimed on air that he 'deeply and profoundly' cared about #MeToo
Chris Cuomo went on-air in March 2021 to say he cared 'profoundly and deeply' about the #MeToo movement
He made the comments while addressing why he couldn't talk about the scandal involving his brother Andrew
A woman who worked with him at ABC News claims Cuomo forced himself on her in his office in 2011
She watched the broadcast in March 2021 then hired attorney Debra Katz, who contacted CNN in December

I can almost appreciate the "if I'm going down, you're all coming with me" play. Fredo is a miserable leftist propagandist, but he's also a raging asshole is terminating other miserable leftist propagandists. I can't bring myself to cheer for him, but I can smirk a little bit.

Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at February 16, 2022 02:38 PM (YqDXo)

40 CNN fired Fredo for his brotherly advice. That issue is the issue they'll have to go to trial on. They can impeach his character with sex assault claims all they want, but it is ultimately beside the point. And Cuomo has lots of info about Zucker/Gollust doing the same thing as he is accused of doing, and being aware he was doing it without telling him to stop. On top of all that, he seems to know all about sex shenanigans that can continue to damage CNN.

I'm no employment lawyer but Cuomo's blackmail sounds pretty strong. That's probably why the money claim, which started out at $18 million (the unpaid contractual amount) has now reportedly tripled.

I give him maybe a 30% chance of going full flame thrower on CNN's Atlanta HQ so vigorously they'll think General Sherman has returned.

85 "Mr. Zucker told Mr. Cuomo that CNN was suspending him because of his unethical interactions with his brother, New York's governor. Mr. Cuomo was shocked and offered to resign. Mr. Zucker countered that the anchor might be able to return at some point, according to people with knowledge of the conversation."

A small, small concession to Fredo here - CNN knew damn well that the only reason Fredo was where he was was due to his connections to his dirtbag brother. Fredo did several interviews on air with Andrew and CNN itself was puffing up Andrew especially during the early days of Teh Coof as potential POTUS material.

I'm viewing all CNN/Cuomo hullaballoo this as Kissinger supposedly did about the Iran-Iraq war - it's a pity both sides can't lose.

It wasn't a significant risk (I am not attractive and she was quite a bit older and also not a hypercunt), but it did cross my mind that a single allegation would end me and there was nothing I could do about it if that happened.

203 Scary stuff from the AP:

America's coastline will see sea levels rise in the next 30 years by as much as they did in the entire 20th century, with major Eastern cities hit regularly with costly floods even on sunny days, a government report warns.

By 2050, seas lapping against the U.S. shore will be 10 to 12 inches (0.25 to 0.3 meters) higher, with parts of Louisiana and Texas projected to see waters a foot and a half (0.45 meters) higher, according to a 111-page report issued Tuesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and six other federal agencies.

"Make no mistake: Sea level rise is upon us," said Nicole LeBoeuf, director of NOAA's National Ocean Service.

The projected increase is especially alarming given that in the 20th century, seas along the Atlantic coast rose at the fastest clip in 2,000 years.

So Castreau has an iceberg with no goods and services should enough truckers, fighting for their rights/freedoms, be forced into positions with no outlets for redress.

316 5% of the world will cling to their masks forever.

Even in Portland, I don't think that will be true. As people overwhelmingly give up their masks, it will rapidly become obvious that the few remaining mask wearers are psychiatric cripples. Even most psychiatric cripples don't want to be that identifiable in public.

Men look in a mirror with no expectations or preconceived notion. Its just you, without caring.

Women look in the mirror with a magazine full of expectations and preconceived notions, and when they don't see that, they use thousands of dollars of chemicals and dyes to try to get closer to it.

I mean there are exceptions, Castreau looks in the mirror and begins to apply makeup, and some women just want to be clean and presentable.

Inter-office relationships of any kind have been rare and weird. The kind of sexual misbehavior I've seen happen over and over and over again in entertainment and politics is *unique* in my working life - I've worked with precisely one guy who acted like these people, and he was obviously mentally ill in this and many other ways, and only had a job there because his dad owned the company.

It's "zero tolerance" which is, by alternate description, "zero intelligence." The rules are handed down to card everyone. No judgement, no chance of being wrong, etc. It's very stupid and utterly irrational.

I once ordered a drink and the young waitress - much younger than me - asked to see my ID. As I usually do, I declined. She couldn't handle it. She asked me why I wouldn't. I told her it's because I have enough absurdity in my life and I didn't want the drink that much. She didn't drop it for the whole night. It really bothered her.

She probably had to go in person to collect McCains' last bribe installment.

That's how these Senators get paid off. They get the laws and finances apportioned for some program in a country. There's a willing cabinet member or whatever who will siphon some of that foreign "aid" back to the Senator in a form that is less likely to be caught by any inspector thus removing the odds of discovery.

This is why foreign aid still exists even tho we do not derive much use from it for the US. It's not the same in the House. There they're much closer to the payoff which is why they get caught more often.

My now-wife approached me and asked me out on a date. Funnily enough, it was kind of a "group date" with multiple cow-orkers and I had another chick cow-orker also come after me at the club that night, which I'm pretty sure sealed the deal with my current wife.

In the town adjacent to where I live the Vermont liquor control board was checking the local general stores (we still have a few of those) and to do so they supplied underage kids with fake ID and had them try and buy beer. Proprietor of the store knew it was fake and pulled out a pair of scissors and cut it in half then handed the pieces back to the kid. The state was intending to make life difficult for the proprietor until they heard enough from the locals to actually back down.

537 Reading about the Biden withdrawal of support for the Israel to Greece gas pipeline, I have to ask: Is there any foreign enemy that Biden isn't toadying to?

538 I hate it when I just ate lunch and I'm still hungry.

I think its amazing that some people feel full when they eat and aren't hungry right away.

No, mercifully, but he was Clintonesque, and I suspect even worse.

He deliberately lonely, overweight, desperate women, nailed them, and dropped them by ghosting on them. They'd show up at our house, sobbing, wondering what they'd done wrong.

It was heartbreaking; they thought they'd found their Prince Charming, and we had to deal with the fallout. More than once we had women parked in their cars across the street on stakeout, waiting for him, while he of course was staying over at his victim's house. Finally we invited one in to wait for him in his room so he could deal with the fallout for a change, instead of us.
