A WarnerMedia investigation of Gollust, who was recently forced to resign as CNN's marketing chief, determined that she had helped the then-CNN anchor Chris Cuomo advise his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, on how to deal with the governor's sexual harassment scandal. Gollust made headlines when CNN president Jeff Zucker stepped down, citing his inappropriate relationship with Gollust. In a statement, Gollust denied WarnerMedia's allegations, with her representative saying: "Allison Gollust never offered advice or counsel to Andrew Cuomo. Period. If she wanted to advise the governor, she could have called or texted him directly (she didn’t). Now 10 days after she resigned, WarnerMedia has offered their fourth reason (or maybe fifth? it’s hard to keep track) for why Allison resigned — the far-fetched notion she was laundering covert advice to the Governor through casual conversations with a colleague is patently ridiculous.”
