Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo said during a recent interview that he considered “killing everyone” and then himself after he was fired in 2021.
Cuomo lost his top cable news perch in December of that year amid an investigation into his use of his position as a reporter to help his brother navigate a series of sexual harassment scandals.
Former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo faced numerous accusations, which his younger brother assisted in attempting to fix for him. The former governor ultimately resigned.
While CNN was investigating that, the host was accused of sexual misconduct.
He was unceremoniously fired but is now back on the air at NewsNation with a fraction of the viewers he once attracted nightly at his old job.
Cuomo told Anthony Scaramucci on his “Open Book” podcast on Wednesday that the loss of his job tormented him to such a degree he experienced some violent ideations.
.@ChrisCuomo tells me on this week’s Open Book: ‘I’m very flawed, there’s damage… I still fail and I have learned to accept it. I had to accept, because I was gonna kill everybody, including myself.”
