And so I’ve got a lot to rebuild, but I feel very privileged and very lucky that I’m going to be able to try to do that.The New Yorker has suspended journalist Jeffrey Toobin after a Zoom incident the staff writer claims happened by "mistake." I’m sorry to my current-fortunately, still-colleagues at CNN, and I’m sorry to the people who read my work and who watched me on CNN who thought I was a better person than this. I’m sorry to my former colleagues at The New Yorker. But I’m also sorry to the people on the Zoom call. “Above all, I am sorry to my wife and to my family. “I’m trying now to say how sorry I am, sincerely, in all seriousness,” Toobin continued. And that is something that I have tried to continue to do both publicly and privately.” I think they realized that this was something that I would immediately regret, as I certainly did, and it was then-it was that day that I began apologizing. “I think they realized that this was not intended for them. “They were shocked and appalled,” he said. Toobin says he’s spoken with those who were on the call. “Have you ever thought about what it must have been like to be on the receiving end of that Zoom call?” “I’m sure you’ve replayed that embarrassing moment over and over many times,” Camerota said after that. And you, since then, have been on leave from CNN. You were subsequently fired from that job, after 27 years of working there. “Everyone took a break for several minutes, during which time you were caught masturbating on camera. “In October, you were on a Zoom call with your colleagues from the New Yorker magazine,” said host Alisyn Camerota in a summary before passing over to Toobin. Imagine waiting for your dentist (the only place I ever see CNN on) and watching this. For those who (correctly) loathe the cable TV punditry industry, there may be is absolutely some morbid enjoyment to be had in Toobin being forced to explain himself. I apologize to my wife, family, friends, and co-workers.”įast forward eight months and Toobin was back on the air to self-flagellate. Yeesh, thanks for the service.Īt the time, in a pair of seriously worded statements, CNN said that Toobin “has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted,” and Toobin said “I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. We say “former” because The New Yorker fired him shortly after the incident, which occurred in October 2020, to wrap a 27-year run at said magazine. On Thursday lawyer/legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin returned to the airwaves of CNN for the first time since he accidentally pulled his dick out in front of some of his former New Yorker co-workers on Zoom.
