Andrew Cuomo.<\/p>\n<p>A well known employment lawyer who represents the accuser contacted CNN Wednesday to tell them of the allegation, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/12\/04\/business\/media\/chris-cuomo-fired-cnn.html\">according to The New York Times<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The disclosure came as an outside law firm was probing new documents released by by New York\u2019s top prosecutor Monday that suggested the younger Cuomo was more involved trying to control damage to his brother\u2019s political career than he previously said.<\/p>\n<p>The woman who leveled the unknown accusations against Chris Cuomo, 51, was a former \u201cjunior colleague\u201d at another <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> network, according to Debra Katz, the accuser\u2019s lawyer, the paper said. The allegation was reportedly not connected to the cascade of accusations that led Andrew Cuomo to resign from office in the face of impeachment four months ago.<\/p>\n<p>It was unclear if the woman\u2019s claim influenced CNN\u2019s choice to fire its star prime time anchor, according to the report. Cuomo was suspended from his reported $6 million a year job indefinitely on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/211088107.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"The woman who came up with the unknown accusations against the former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was a former &quot;junior colleague&quot; at another news network, according to Debra Katz.\" class=\"wp-image-20377422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/211088107.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/211088107.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/211088107.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/211088107.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The woman who came up with the unknown accusations against the former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was a former \u201cjunior colleague\u201d at another news network, according to Debra Katz.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBased on the report we received regarding Chris\u2019s conduct with his brother\u2019s defense, we had cause to terminate,\u201d CNN told The Times. \u201cWhen new allegations came to us this week, we took them seriously, and saw no reason to delay taking im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Katz, who also represented Andrew Cuomo accuser Charlotte Bennett, told the paper her client \u201ccame forward because she was disgusted by Chris Cuomo\u2019s on-air statements in response to the allegations made against his brother, Governor Andrew Cuomo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, Katz reportedly cited a March 1 broadcast where the anchor said \u201cI have always cared very deeply about these issues, and profoundly so.
