Jeff Zucker resigned in disgrace Wednesday after failing to disclose the relationship with Allison Gollust, the network’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer.
CNN is facing calls to fire its chief media correspondent, Brian Stelter, for not exposing the ongoing romantic relationship between Jeff Zucker and senior executive Allison Gollust.
Stelter, 36, the network’s top media reporter and host of its “Reliable Sources” Sunday show, either dropped the ball by not exposing Zucker and Gollust or showed a stunning lack of awareness by not being privy to their romance, a CNN insider“The network needs to step up and fire Brian Stelter,” the unidentified source said. “He is allegedly our top media reporter — yet he failed to report on the scoop that everyone in the office knew.
A CNN insider accused Stelter of being hypocritical for not exposing Zucker and Gollust’s relationship while often criticizing other competing networks.Gollust, meanwhile, released a statement later Wednesday saying the pair had been professional colleagues for more than two decades before their relationship “changed” during the pandemic.
they’re furious that Gollust is allowed to keep her job despite “lying” about her affair with Zucker that went on “for years.”“Why is she allowed to keep her job?” a CNN insider told The Post. “CNN is supposed to be a transparent news network. How does she get away with lying about their affair for so long?”“Brian Stelter should be calling his agent to start looking for another job,” the source said. “He’s been Jeff Zucker’s water boy for years and no one believes he didn’t know about all of this.”Jack Elbaum
