In the scorched-earth arbitration filing, Chris Cuomo and his lawyers devoted an entire section to lashing out at some of his former CNN colleagues, including Don Lemon– with whom he’d famously shared a close relationship.
“I love you, brother,” Lemon told Cuomo in August shortly before launching into a segment on the sexual-harassment allegations against Chris’ older brother. “I love you, D. Lemon,” Cuomo replied with a smile.
“Intervening in the ongoing investigation by texting Smollett was an inexcusable breach of ethics,” the filing argued. “Yet CNN did nothing; Lemon was not disciplined in any way.” While Lemon has yet to publicly comment on his friend’s firing, he notably struck the first blow last month when he argued in a staff meeting after Zucker’s firing that Cuomo should not be paid any severance.
Cuomo also took aim at several other former CNN colleagues allegedly breaching company ethics without punishment. His filing cited howhost Jake Tapper privately suggested Republican congressional candidate Sean Parnell run in a “safer” district instead of against incumbent Rep. Conor Lamb . Tapper faced no internal inquiry and faced no repercussions for the action, Cuomo lamented of his former workmate.
