Disgraced former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has hit the far-left network with a $125 million arbitration demand.
The former “star” host, who was fired over multiple scandals, accuses CNN of a “calculated campaign to smear Cuomo and destroy his reputation.”
Cuomo is demanding that the network pays him for “future wages lost as a result of CNN’s efforts to destroy his reputation.”
The claim was filed by Cuomo’s attorneys at Freedman + Taitelman LLP and Clayman Rosenberg Kirshner & Linder LLP.
It includes $15 million that Cuomo claims he is owed for the rest of his contract.
However, Cuomo also is demanding the cable network pays “future wages lost” because of CNN’s alleged “violation of the Agreement.”
Cuomo’s filing says:
“As a result of Turner’s indefensible choice to unceremoniously fire him, Cuomo has been damaged in countless ways.“Cuomo has had his journalistic integrity unjustifiably smeared, making it difficult if not impossible for Cuomo to find similar work in the future and damaging him in amounts exceeding $125 million.“Turner’s unjustifiable termination of Cuomo reflects nothing more than an apparent rush to judgment and caving to uninformed public and internal pressure that was based on speculation and assumption rather than facts and evidence.

Cuomo and his staff, long before the transcripts of the NYAG investigation were publicly disclosed.“Cuomo had no reason to believe that his assistance to Gov. Cuomo was inconsistent with CNN’s or Turner’s policies nor its expectations, especially given the fact that Zucker and Gollust had encouraged him to do so and had themselves provided advice to Gov.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
