Chris Cuomo made a startling statement that he had contemplated harming himself and others after his termination from CNN. The ex-prime time anchor was fired from the network in late 2021 for allegedly providing counsel to his brother, then-Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, during a sexual misconduct investigation.
During a conversation with former White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, on his podcast “Open Book with Anthony Scaramucci,” Chris, who is 52 years old, stated, “I had no choice but to accept my dismissal because I was consumed by the situation and had even contemplated taking harmful action towards everyone, including myself.
The ousted journalist admitted he “makes a lot of mistakes” and started therapy after being “s–t-canned” by CNN bosses.
“There is damage that is relatable, there is damage that is unrelatable to people that I have to deal with, that I am working on,” he continued.
Chris has since made a TV comeback on NewsNation, but divulged that he’s embarrassed by the tanking viewership numbers on his new show.
The Post reported “Cuomo” saw 147,000 viewers on its debut in October 2022, and his explosive interview with artist Kanye West drew just 129,000 viewers.
Chris’ NewsNation show averaged about 63,000 viewers per night, an abysmal turnout compared to his CNN show, “Cuomo Prime Time,” which averaged over a million viewers a night.
He recalled, “At CNN and I wasn’t set up to be [No. 1]. I wasn’t the big name there, I didn’t have the big team, they didn’t do the advertising about me. But I was still No. 1. Why? Because it was the best show. Because I was giving people what they needed in that moment.”
At NewsNation, however, Chris knows that the audience is “small” and “people don’t want to watch.”
“It’s hard to keep perspective on that because it’s kind of embarrassing,” he lamented before sternly telling The Mooch, “I will never be [No. 1] again.”
“I believe that was taken, I believe wrongly. I will litigate that. I am not going to bitch about it in the press.”
Chris is suing CNN for over $60 million over his ousting. The case is believed to be ongoing.
He said he is also “in litigation” with the publisher of his book, “Deep Denial,” which was canceled after his firing.
His attorney didn’t immediately get back to Page Six.

Now definitely a Red Flag for any firearm purchases; what say you Democrats?
Not a Democrat, but I will answer for you anyway.
Anybody that is exhibiting extreme anger or stress, or have a history of mental illness or a criminal background should be excluded from having any firearms.
Furthermore, municipalities should be able to set the gun restrictions they see fit for their area.
You live in Miami or in any urban environment , there is NO need for firearms unless you have a license (as I do). If you live in rural Montana, I do not care if you want to have a Gatling gun and shoot critters for fun, but I definitely do not want you for a neighbor.
I am not a fan of Chris Coumo. I do not miss his show.
Harmful action does not means killing yourself or others It could be legal action, spilling the beans on other people, etc. By taking a vindictive legal route, he would also damage any possibility of a return.
