Chris Cuomo accused of sexual misconduct by former colleague at CNN

Chris Cuomo was accused of sexual misconduct in the days before his termination from CNN.

In a statement released Sunday, attorney Debra Katz said she contacted the network on Wednesday to report her client’s allegations of sexual misconduct against Cuomo.

The statement said, “by Friday, I was in discussions with CNN about providing documentary evidence of my client’s allegations and making my client available for an interview with CNN’s outside counsel. Last night, CNN acted promptly on my client’s complaint and fired Mr. Cuomo.”

Katz said that in the wake of public sexual harassment allegations against former Governor Andrew Cuomo, his brother Chris Cuomo looked directly into the camera and told viewers of Cuomo Prime Time, “I have always cared very deeply about these issues,” and profoundly so, she felt the need to speak out now and help others who may be hiding.

Hearing Chris Cuomo’s on-air words and Katz retained counsel to report his alleged sexual misconduct against her to CNN.
