CNN executive Allison Gollust resigns, following Jeff Zucker, after probe finds ‘issues’ related to Cuomos

Allison Gollust, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at CNN, has resigned following an investigation into “issues associated with Chris Cuomo and former Governor Andrew Cuomo,” according to a company memo obtained by USA TODAY.

WarnerMedia chief Jason Kilar said in a memo to staff Tuesday that a third-party investigation found that Gollust – along with the network’s former chief Jeff Zucker and ousted CNN anchor Chris Cuomo – violated company policies.

“I realize this news is troubling, disappointing, and, frankly, difficult to read,” Kilar wrote. “We have the highest standards of journalistic integrity at CNN, and those rules must apply to everyone equally.”

In Kilar’s memo, he said the investigation that concluded last week relied on interviews and a review of 100,000-plus texts and emails. The inquiry was performed by a third-party law firm and led by a former federal judge, the memo said.

The departure of Gollust follows the disclosure of a sexual relationship between her Zucker, which was previously cited as the cause of the CNN chief’s ouster on Feb. 2.

Gollust fired back in a statement to USA TODAY Tuesday night.

“WarnerMedia’s statement tonight is an attempt to retaliate against me and change the media narrative in the wake of their disastrous handling of the last two weeks,” she said. “It is deeply disappointing that after spending the past nine years defending and upholding CNN’s highest standards of journalistic integrity, I would be treated this way as I leave. But I do so with my head held high, knowing that I gave my heart and soul to working with the finest journalists in the world.”

USA TODAY has reached out to Zucker for further comment. – Source
