Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo is seeking a $125 million arbitration award, claiming the network wrongly terminated him, his legal team said Wednesday.
Cuomo was let go after it emerged that he played an active role in advising his brother, Andrew Cuomo, when the latter was fighting to stay in office as governor of New York as women accused him of sexual harassment. "It should, by now, be obvious to everyone that Chris Cuomo did not lie to CNN about helping his brother," Chris Cuomo's attorney Bryan Freedman said in a statement.
"In fact, as the limited information released from WarnerMedia’s investigation makes clear, CNN’s highest-level executives not only knew about Chris’s involvement in helping his brother but also actively assisted the Governor, both through Chris and directly themselves."
