Ex-CNN anchor Chris Cuomo is accusing his former colleagues of mounting a smear campaign after he was fired for helping his governor brother fight sexual harassment allegations, as he demands $125 million in severance from the network in private arbitration proceedings.
In a filing on Wednesday, Cuomo charged CNN with ruining his reputation and violating his contract by letting employees publicly criticize him.
‘Jake Tapper, a CNN anchor, publicly assailed Cuomo’s ethics as a journalist and falsely claimed that Cuomo “threatened” Zucker.
