Fox News contributor Joe Concha on Chris Cuomo requesting $125 million from CNN over his firing and his attorney claiming that he was made a 'scapegoat' for his brother.opened up about how grim his outlook was following his 2021 ousting from the network.
"You've got to make things happen. There is no luck, there is no fate, there is no destiny. What happens is what you make happen and how you deal with what is made to happen to you, for better and worse," Cuomo told Scaramucci on Wednesday's podcast."And you know, I make a lot of mistakes — sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad reason. I'm very flawed.
"And don't idolize me because I am no idol. I'm just someone to learn from, for better and worse. And I wish I had been told that more. I wish I didn't have to go through the same cycle that so many of us do where you put everyone in your life up on a pedestal, because when they fall, that rebound effect is usually too dramatic. And had I just had clearer eyes from the beginning, it would have made more sense sooner.
However, Cuomo was axed after CNN learned of a damning misconduct allegation from his tenure at ABC News. A former colleague claimed he had sexually assaulted her, which he denied.Critics previously sounded the alarm about the conflict of interest during Cuomo's coverage of the COVID pandemic, when he invited his brother on for a series of chummy interviews as the governor's nursing home scandal began brewing.
