Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo wants $125 million in an arbitration award, claiming the network wrongfully fired him.
Back in December, CNN terminated Cuomo after an investigation revealed he helped his brother, former New York governor Andrew Cuomo, handle the sexual harassment accusations made against him.
At the time, Cuomo was allegedly honest about how he assisted his brother, saying there was “no reason to believe” he broke the network’s policies.
His attorney, Bryan Freedman, says it should be clear that Cuomo did not lie to CNN about his actions.
The arbitration was filed on Wednesday, and in the filing, Chris says, “CNN even broke its own policy to take advantage of that relationship in the name of ratings and advertising dollars.”
