CEO head honcho Jeff Zucker announced his unexpected departure from the network after nine years, after investigators looking into the Chris Cuomo scandal uncovered a 'consensual relationship' with a colleague.

In a Wednesday statement, Zucker said that during the Cuomo investigation, "I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years. I have acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn't. I was wrong.

"As a result, I am resigning today," the letter reads.

Shedding more light is the NYT, which notes that Zucker "among the most powerful leaders in the American media," was referring to Allison Gollust - executive VP and chief marketing officer.

"Jeff and I have been close friends and professional partners for over 20 years," wrote Gollust. "Recently, our relationship changed during Covid. I regret that we didn’t disclose it at the right time. I’m incredibly proud of my time at CNN and look forward to continuing the great work we do everyday."

Gollust will remain at the network in her current role, just not 'under' Zucker. She came to CNN in 2013 after leaving NBC, where she and Zucker had previously worked together for 15 years.

Maybe this explains a few things... or maybe not?

In 2017, the pair was seen arguing at a NY Media party that included Harvey Weinstein and others. According to one baffled rival exec reported by Page Six, "It looked like she was reprimanding her husband or something."

To recap, over the last 12 months CNN has lost, or suspended, several key anchors and commentators over various scandals while their ratings have plummeted to embarrassing lows.

Who could be behind this?

Aww, I'm touched. Not like a camping kind of touched, but touched just the same

So let me get this straight... some dude banged some chick he wasn't supposed to unless he told everyone he was banging her, but he didn't so he resigned so he could keep bangin' her?

And... I'm supposed to be mad about this?

Why in the world would I ever give a f*ck about this?

Mad Ben? No, You should be rejoicing in the CHAOS that is CNN!

Again Ray... coworkers banging each other isn't a lefty problem, it's a human problem :/

No problem. Of course Ray is a freak anyway.

Dmv nailed it.
Consensual sex wasn't the problem.
His love interest was working for Cuomo

Ben, are you sure it is a valid assumption that Ray is human? I'm thinking Chinese Chimpanzee intelligence experiment gone bad. Prolly in that Wuhan lab.

Only if you're using both hands!
