Jeff Zucker abruptly resigned from CNN releasing a statement: “As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years,” Mr. Zucker wrote. “I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong.”
Apparently, Jeff Zucker has been involved in a long-term relationship with a woman named Allison Gollust as she worked her way through the ranks at CNN throughout her career.
Ms. Gollust is currently CNN’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer, positioning her as one of the highest-ranking leaders within the network, closely involved in major business and communications decisions.
Ms. Gollust said in another statement Wednesday she was remaining in her role at CNN: “Jeff and I have been close friends and professional partners for over 20 years,” she wrote. “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 every day.”
Essentially, what appears to have taken place is then married Jeff Zucker and then married Allison Gollust beginning a relationship many years ago, and Zucker advancing Gollust throughout her career, even to the point of her physical location living above him. Both of them eventually divorced from their respective spouses, and yet the network, or at least the board of directors, was “unaware” of their relationship.
Interestingly, RadarOnline wrote about Gollust and Zucker a month ago as it pertains to the firing of Chris Cuomo and the fight over a subsequent exit package of compensation {Read Here}. The RadarOnline article tells the story of the real dynamic, and in hindsight, their suspicions are almost certainly accurate now:
[…] “The talk in the corridors of CNN about Jeff and Allison’s purported relationship complicates the sticky decision to fire Chris,” said one highly placed source. “Have they sullied the network’s reputation? One could argue they have; it just hasn’t been made public yet.”
It also calls into question the hypocrisy of Zucker and Gollust who initially stood by Cuomo when it emerged he rushed to the aid of his embattled brother, the former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Gollust, a veteran public relations expert, once worked as the Democratic lawmaker’s communications director, and rumor mongers inside CNN HQ told Radar that her past job with Cuomo and claims of a romantic relationship raise questions about why Zucker initially protected the embattled brothers.
The alleged affair is said to have begun while the pair were both married: Zucker to wife Caryn and Gollust to husband Billy. Five years after Gollust joined CNN, Zucker announced he and his wife had split after 21 years of marriage. It was said they had simply “grown apart” and the marriage had been dead for 10 years.

It’s all an internecine mess but explains the situation.
Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, a media personality very familiar with sexual relationships as a technique to advance in positions of broadcast power and network influence, notes the scale of what Zucker did to keep Gollust around will likely shock CNN followers. It appears Ms. Kelly has some details of her own; after all, she was heavily recruited by CNN after Kelly announced her departure from Fox.
Zucker’s relationship with Gollust went on for years, and what he did to keep her near him (as he kept advancing her up the line) will be even more stunning to the CNN news room. https://t.co/STe578EX3W

Who here believes that their relationship “changed” during COVID????
You know these 2 were knocking boots for years and years as any other marketing VP would have been shown the door years ago due to the complete mismanagement and loss of viewers at the network.
Maybe they got more kinky?
Exactly what I was thinking, but I couldn’t come up with a nice way to put it.
New is pinged to your cell phone all day. You no longer have to watch the 6 o’clock news to be informed.
When you are negative Trump all day long, you are going to lose anyone pro Trump as an audience.
When they lost Trump, the lost the audience. Trump hid the rot.
I think you mean Trump exposed the rot at CNN.
ZNN is loosing viewers. The guy was on the chopping block.
Just asking, but could any woman really be that desperate??
Apparently there is a lot of desperation out there….
This is how you get ahead at NBCNNABCBSMSDNC … she’s not the exception, she’s the rule.
I wonder what Mad Cow did…
No job’s too tough, if the fee is enough.
well, he is rite up there with brain stelter, butt brain doesn’t controll $$$$$$ Communists (K)No Nothing!
Advancement and more money. Wonder if she dumps him now. Her career is about to be flatlined.
my first thought; and the rest Zuck, once you begin to sleaze, its an open ended thing.
What about the rest of it?
Covering up for pedo networks for instance?
The question is, did they where protection? You know, masks on their face during relations. If not, they should be shunned from society! s/
Well unless “for years” could be loosely translated to “during COVID” or vice versa, then no, that was the first lie that stood out to me.
Hmmm. If Zucker had to resign because he didn’t disclose the relationship, why is his squeeze still employed? I wonder what is really going on? Maybe one of their spurned spouses is getting revenge?
Because months ago he was asked and lied about it.
My understanding is that it is supposed to be reported to HR (cannot remember where I read that). If that is the criteria, she should be canned too.
She’s do-able, so maybe the Guy in HR is partacking a little as well
Borderline.
Strange, he always appeared gay to me. Then again, he kind of looks like a p–is with ears
He looks closely related to brain stelter, potatoe head!
Maybe his squeeze is being “squeezed” by someone else in the HR?😂😂😂😂
This begs the question – what have they REALLY got on Zucker? Like Cuomo, has he “copped the lesser plea” of sexual impropriety to distract from something far worse? Something which can result in serious jail time ?
Former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian was removed for the same reason – so that her $64 million payout from Pfizer was kept under wraps. Sexual impropriety carries no criminal charges -just a bit of public embarrassment which is soon forgotten.
A little digging may be in order.
Finally.. someone said it. There is more to this story.
Agreed. IMHO, it would be good for serious, objective journalists to develop the business/legal side of this story in much greater detail so that the public can understand what has taken place at cnn. As owner of cnn, what is the at&t response about his resignation? I am glad that I am done using at&t “stuff”.
The only one who I feel is brave enough is James O’Keefe. He’d be the “digger” I’d want to hear from.
TM ,you’re over target(pickle) bombs away.

Like Andrew Cuomo, CNN honchos leaving via the Sex Scandal door seem to be avoiding bigger trouble. It has become their favorite escape vehicle—the modus operandi for Dems who probably would be paying a much greater price for the nursing home catastrophe or spreading injurious lies they call News.
Oopsy
Their sex problems are the least of our worries. Didn’t affect us. But, CNNs lying propaganda everyday has harmed millions. That’s the real crime.
As an aside, how is it she any less guilty than he is? She stays, he goes.
That’s what me too means. Getting to behave like a tramp and come out smelling like a rose.
What do you mean “behave like a tramp”?
This whole affair smells of trash and tramp!
Debauchery
And for years I though a swallow was a harmless little bird……………….
The swamp is being drained slowly!
There’s more to this than meets the eye. People like Zucker don’t resign over issues like this. I wonder what the actual bck story is?
.
This sounds to me like nonsense put out into the media to divert conservatives’ attention. “Oh, look — a sex squirrel!”
So Zucker resigns but the bimbo he was (fill in your favorite description) with not only stays but makes a virtue statement too? 🤔
Being Me Too has its perks.
I wonder if there will be a movie about sex harassment at CNN, like the one for Fox.
“Bombshell” I believe it was called?
she known when to squeeze his b*lls….
She also know how to go with the flow i.e. shut the F up
Off topic fyi
Fakebook bans American trucker convoy group as we all should have known they would do.

Ah, much of the most evil genetic material on the earth in one photograph.

My kids don’t use Facebook. Their generation uses the newer apps for social media.
Facebook’s peak time is behind us.
They kicked the America Freedom Truckers off today. Hope they tank twice as much tomorrow.
The Suppression and Censorship Facebook does for the Canadian and American Regimes is exactly the same service it provides to the Chinese Politburo to oppress their slaves.
WHY WAS THE CNN WOMAN NOT FIRED????
Because theyre Fake News and that includes this News as well. Nevermind the pesky little details.
She was taken advantage of, ahem!
Ding ding chicken dinner. 👍😂
She’s the “victim.”
2 ugliest people of MSM….
I’m sure there’s a good, honourable reason why she gets to stay. CNN endeavours to eschew even the appearance of impropriety…
Hah!
because SHE knows the REAL story
Revenge of the corrupt Cuomo brothers has begun.
The Cuomo brothers are the “iceberg” in this about to be, Titanic Thriller…
March 2022 airport contract with CNN ends.
So the battle for the 2022 midterms begins.
Zucker got fired cuz he destroyed the network’s credibility in his blind rage against Trump. It’s the same old Trump Curse. Zucker tanked the ratings/revenue and the board needed to rebuild. They used the affair as an excuse, rather than just admit their board-approved anti-Trump business model was a complete failure once DJT left office.
If Trump takes back the WH in 2024, the board will return to their destroy Trump strategy. And CNN will be flush with cash. Trump even called it by saying that he’s the only reason these media outlets are profitable.
TRUMP Truth/ media is a comin
Just a tidbit, but author Daniel Silva is best friends w/Zucker. I wonder if Dan will comfort his pal during this trying time?
That is a very creepy photo of that woman.
I used to love Silva’s ‘Gabriel Alon’ series, but I heard Silva went way overboard in his last Alon book…..with his anti-Trump positions.
So, I haven’t read the most recent book in the series and I may never will.
Don’t bother reading his latest Alon book. He is very anti-Trump — I was so disappointed that I didn’t even finish the book. His take on Catholicism is also very twisted.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Any other good authors for spy thrillers that you care to recommend?
I guess Zucker couldn’t say he was leaving so he could spend more time with his family.
Now tell me the real story.
Anybody here remember PDJT’s most recent Newsmax interview this week?
PDJT said (and I paraphrase) we’ll be seeing more resigning for ‘family reasons, etc….’
That was framed during a question/answer on Fake News.
Prescient Trump!
Gollust also broke the rules, so why is Gollust not resigning?
Go llust say it all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Marxist left doesn’t care, even condones it, unless it involves Republicans.
Folks, this is far easier than your making it. It’s CNN. He was fired for having a heterosexual relationship.
For having a relationship with an adult.
Excellent!
Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures exist. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab.
Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
JMO. I think ATT has found a buyer. New buyer did not want to deal with Zucker/Gollust garbage and others. This way ATT unloads CNN and new buyer wont look like a heavy getting rid of all the garbage. Remember ATT has poured some money into OAN.
Perhaps it’ll sell for a real bargain to…..
Hey, What’s the name of the social media/ news / Truth company that businessman Donald J Trump is building?
Maybe he’s just leaving while his stock is worth more than 50 cents a share.
Heard Cuomo ratted him out, good, always knew the left would turn on their own.
Another career girl working her way up the ladder just like Kamala.
Don’t care.
This violated CNN’s rules because she was over 18.
Nah, that’s just an excuse to get rid of the guy that turned CNN into a premier center of toilet journalism and drove viewers out the exits
Zucker…..getting hammered…..
for hammering…..Allison Go-LLust…..
Go-LLust…..hahahaha…..shoulda known better.
I think it’s just an excuse, and a very good one, to fire Zucker. Probably saved a ton of money on a severance package since he got fired ‘for cause.’
What Really Matters in our technological world are hard cold Truths. Find them here:
The Gods Of The Copybook Headings by Rudyard Kipling (poetry.com)
The God’s of the Marketplace are Hideous Monsters! Most of Us Know this to be true. Why does such salacious Crap still intrigue/entrap so many people? What will this story give to their competitors for a Short Moment of Time? What Benefits do We the People Gain from it? Who Really Wins? This won’t kill CNN; they are too big to fail over something this small. Real People Don’t Care, and yet look at the headlines on Media Sites. It’s all the Same Old CRAP! You have to dig for truth on say the Freedom Convoy, Ukraine, China. But not for info on JoBama’s new dog, or some celebrity opinions, or latest fashion, or the new name (SELLOUTS) of the Washington Football Team… TRASH is Easy to Find. But Seeking the TRUTH is nearly impossible on some subjects. Opinions are NOT News. They are like Rectums, everybody has one… and most of them stink. And admittedly My Opinion will fall right there in plain sight with yours. (*)
I guess this means that Mr. Potatohead number 2, steltzer’s days are numbered. No need for zucker’s hideous body double any more.
It looks like Jeffrey Toobin is the only person at CNN who can keep his hands to himself.
Ba da Bing!
A terrifically comedic line. Well done!
I got that. And I am pretty slow, sometimes.
Is COVID not blamed for anything?? LMAO
It seems that Ms, Gollust has a thing for toe-heads that can advance her career.
Also, her and VP Harris have a thing or two in common, it seems. 😉
Boy is Tucker going to have fun with this tonight, especially Tater’s reaction to what happened.
Gutfeld is going to have fun with it too. He already roasts them on a daily basis. This is going to be a LOLOLOLOL fest.
So why did Zucker do nothing about all the other deviant or sexual conduct over the years – they all had something on him? Just saying’.
Another sad case of nominal determinism–Allison Go.lust.
I feel bad for Allison, who is she going to sleep with now in hopes to be hired as president of a major media organization?
Mr. Rachael Maddow?
She should call Heels up Harris, she’ll give her good advice?
Perverts all!
Go-L Lust has a Sucker problem, all day zucker.
I rarely say this, but, ‘YOU CAN”T MAKE THIS STUFF UP”. CNNSUCKS literally!
God predicted this!
Yuk, double yuk the guy makes my skin literally crawl. Oh double yuk, I think I’m going to gag.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww
The biggest surprise is that CNN president Jeff Zucker has resigned over an inappropriate sexual relationship with an employee is that it wasn’t with Brian Stelter.
Trump responds:

August 5, 2021 – NY Post
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo doesn’t just have his brother Chris at CNN, he also has ties to one of its top executives — sparking accusations that it’s why the network has turned a blind eye to its star host’s involvement in his sibling’s sexual harassment scandal.
Allison Gollust Governor Cuomo’s Communications Director before becoming executive vice president at CNN — where she was even recently tapped to replace Jeff Zucker as Worldwide President
Allison GolLUST … the Kamala Harris of CNN.
https://www.truepeoplesearch.com/find/person/pnlrn4404862u9nl4ru2
So, basically she sleep around first with Cuomo and Zucker to get where she is now…very Kamala of her.
Don’t forget that behind a “successful”woman there is a great behind.
Lol. Good one 😀
The “great behind” from hell!
Perhaps that last sentence should have read “tapped by Zucker to replace himself as Worldwide President”.
“Tapped by Zucker” will suffice.
