Chris Cuomo was fired from CNN in December 2021 and he opened up about the ordeal with former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci with some rather shocking revelations. He said he had planned to “kill everybody and myself” as a result. He’s since said he’s put himself into therapy after being what he calls “sh*t-canned.” He said he had to “learn to accept it.” He went on to say “Things can consume you. Italians are so passionate and I really had to fight against that.”
And all of this came after he helped his brother, former Governor Andrew Cuomo with his sexual assault allegations which by every aspect of his job is wrong. He did acknowledge that he is “very flawed” and makes “a lot of mistakes.” In explaining what this means for him today, he admits “This is really knocked me sideways. One of the things I like to say — maybe too much — is how damaging this was to me personally. And I know that a lot of people don’t give a s***. That’s OK. I’m not saying it because I care what you think. I’m saying it because it’s true.”
Cuomo says he’s still going after his $125 million arbitration demand from CNN where he still claims he didn’t help his brother in the filing statement that originally read “Cuomo has had his journalistic integrity unjustifiably smeared, making it difficult if not impossible for Cuomo to find similar work in the future and damaging him in amounts exceeding $125 million.” He has, however begun hosting a show on NewsNation called Cuomo with a much smaller audience which he says is “kind of embarrassing.” He told Scaramucci, “Look I’m taking chances. I’m trying things, I got to try more things, I’m trying to build something.”
What is amazing about Cuomo’s remarks is that he actually said these words out loud about wanting to kill all his coworkers. I wouldn’t want to hire anyone that spoke like that. And I could only imagine if a black person said such a thing. You’d have colleagues saying how frightened they are of him and would probably write a joint statement to have him removed from his current job. smh
