Speculation is growing over whether Jeff Zucker was forced out at CNN over his open-secret affair not because bosses had any real issue with it, but because the scandal of it and his ongoing war with Chris Cuomo could have threatened AT&T's $43billion deal with Discovery. Zucker and Allison Gollust have worked together for 20 years. They claim their relationship turned romantic during the pandemic but others say it far predates COVID. Zucker stepped down yesterday, admitting he was 'wrong' not to have told the company about the relationship. It has since emerged that Chris Cuomo, who was fired in December for inappropriately consulting his brother about sexual harassment claims, was who raised the affair to executives.
