CNN's Jeff Zucker Resigns Over Relationship With Top Executive
Newsy
In a statement Zucker said he had wished that his tenure had ended differently but, "it was an amazing run. And I loved every minute."
CNN President Jeff Zucker abruptly resigned Wednesday after acknowledging a consensual relationship with another network executive, ending a nine-year tenure at the helm of the one of the nation's largest media companies.
Zucker said he acknowledged the relationship when asked about it as part of an investigation into Chris Cuomo, the former CNN anchor who was fired after it was discovered that he aided his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, as he navigated a sexual harassment investigation.
"I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn't," Zucker wrote in a memo. "I was wrong."
