Canned CNN host Chris Cuomo has fired back at the network — accusing his boss of knowing everything about his involvement in trying to quash ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s sex scandal.
Chris Cuomo threw his longtime ally, CNN President Jeff Zucker, under the bus, while insisting the journalist “has the highest level of admiration and respect” for him.

“There were no secrets about this, as other individuals besides Mr. Cuomo can attest.”
The final straw at CNN reportedly came when documents showed that the host’s behind-the-scenes meddling to help his brother went far beyond what he had admitted on-air.
On another note, an Insider told The Post the journalist was canned after CNN learned of new allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
“Hearing the hypocrisy of Chris Cuomo’s on-air words and disgusted by his efforts to try to discredit these women, my client retained counsel to report his serious sexual misconduct against her to CNN.”
Cuomo hasn’t been formally told the accuser’s name but is believed to have figured it out based on information in a letter her lawyer sent to CNN last week, sources said.
