Female CNN staff furious Allison Gollust still has a job after Jeff Zucker affair

Contact The Author Female employees at CNN are furious that chief spokesperson Allison Gollust is keeping her job after lying about her affair with newly resigned CEO Jeff Zucker “for years,” sources told The Post. “Why is she allowed to keep her job, when she was promoted while sleeping with the boss?” a CNN insider railed. “CNN is supposed to be a transparent news network. How does she get away with lying about their affair for so long?” Early Wednesday, Zucker sent a memo to colleagues announcing he’d be retiring after his relationship with Gollust came to light during CNN’s probe into Chris Cuomo. He called the relationship “consenusal” and told staff that he wished he’d disclosed it sooner. Gollust released a statement shortly after saying that she and Zucker had been professional colleagues for over 20 years but their relationship “changed during COVID.” One insider called the comments “a total lie.” “They’ve been together for years,” the source dished. “And she’s still lying about it today — the statement she made that ‘recently our relationship changed during Covid’ is a total lie.”
