What did Jeffrey Toobin do?
FORMER New Yorker contributor Jeffrey Toobin made headlines of his own in 2020 for all the wrong reasons. Toobin made his comeback to CNN as a legal analyst on June 10, 2021, after being fired by the New Yorker last November. Back in October 2020, Toobin, 61, was caught masturbating on a Zoom call between members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio. Shortly after the incident, Toobin apologized in a statement saying, I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends, and co-workers.  New Yorker editor David Remnick, issued a statement to staff in regards to the incident saying, "As you may have read in various news reports today, one of our writers, Jeff Toobin, was suspended after an incident on a Zoom call last week. Please be assured that we take such matters seriously and that we are looking into it. Best, David." Shortly after he was suspended, the writer of 27 years was fired from the New Yorker. CNN granted him a leave of absence but said he was "too good to fire," from their network. Eight months after his zoom incident, Toobin has returned to CNN to resume his role as their chief legal analyst. Toobin spoke with CNN's Alisyn Camerota on CNN Newsroom to discuss the incident again. "I'm sorry to the people who read my work and who watched me on CNN who thought I was a better person than this. And so, you know, I got a lot to rebuild, but I feel very privileged and very lucky that I'm going to be able to try to do that," he said. "I am trying to become the kind of person that people can trust again," he continued. As part of his rehabilitation of himself, Toobin mentioned therapy and public service like working a food bank to help better and humble himself.
