Allison Gollust, the CNN executive in a relationship that triggered the resignation earlier this month of network president Jeff Zucker, has also resigned from the network, according to an email sent to staff.
“WarnerMedia’s statement tonight is an attempt to retaliate against me and change the media narrative in the wake of their disastrous handling of the last two weeks,” Gollust said in the statement to Stelter. “It is deeply disappointing that after spending the past nine years defending and upholding CNN’s highest standards of journalistic integrity, I would be treated this way as I leave.
Zucker announced his departure Feb. 2, telling employees that he was required to disclose a relationship with a close colleague but had failed to do so. Shortly after news of Zucker's resignation broke, Gollust, CNN’s chief marketing officer, sent a separate memo to employees acknowledging that her relationship to Zucker had “changed during COVID.”
