Chris Cuomo had to quit his radio gig. He hosts, or rather did host, “Let’s Get After It with Chris Cuomo” at noon ET on SiriusXM.
Former ABC News reporter Brian Ross had taken over for Cuomo’s show on Monday.
Cuomo announced shortly after the show, that the way his time at CNN ended was difficult and he was also leaving radio. He plans to “take a step back and focus on what comes next.”
Cuomo was “indefinitely suspended” over new documents released by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Shortly after the suspension, an anonymous woman turned up accusing him of sexually harassing her, on Saturday, he was fired.

“There were no secrets about this, as other individuals besides Mr. Cuomo can attest,” the spokesman added.
CNN likely knew about the accusers and the help Cuomo gave to his brother but probably tried to weather the storm.
