Last week, the world learned of an abhorrent incident of sexual harassment committed by one of CNN’s primetime anchors, and it had many wondering if this reckless behavior was a family affair.
You see, it was Chris Cuomo whose atrocious exploits we learned about just days ago, months after his brother, the now-disgraced governor of New York Andrew Cuomo, resigned over a series of similarly awful incidents involving himself and at least 9 women.
This week, it appears as though the number of Chris’ problems just doubled, as he now stands accused of sexually harassing one woman at work, and now “threatening” another.
The executive producer of CNN‘s “Cuomo Prime Time” quit the show last year after feeling “threatened” by the namesake anchor, Chris Cuomo.
Melanie Buck headed the network’s most-watched program from April 2018 to her sudden departure in March 2020 after she “begged” for a transfer, as Page Six first reported.
“A CNN insider confirmed Buck went to CNN boss Jeff Zucker and asked to be taken off Cuomo’s show and moved to another department, which he agreed to,” Page Six reported. “The insider denied rumors that Buck was given a significant pay-off to stay silent over her spat with the agitable anchor.”
Fox News confirmed that Buck felt “threatened” by Cuomo.
And that’s not all…
A former CNN insider heard rumors about the tense relationship between Buck and Cuomo, telling Fox News the producer perceived a “ruin your career type of threat” from the anchor.
Cuomo was recently lambasted by his sexual harassment accuser after a meager acknowledgement of his poor behavior came up short.
