Allison Gollust, the CNN executive in a relationship with former network head Jeff Zucker, has resigned after an investigation found the duo – along with Chris Cuomo – violated company policies, according to a memo from the company’s CEO.
The probe, performed by a third-party law firm, examined “issues associated with Chris Cuomo and former Governor Andrew Cuomo,” according to the letter from WarnerMedia boss Jason Kilar.
“Based on interviews of more than 40 individuals and a review of over 100,000 texts and emails, the investigation found violations of Company policies, including CNN’s News Standards and Practices, by Jeff Zucker, Allison Gollust, and Chris Cuomo,” Kilar wrote in the memo.
Kilar said the investigation kicked off in September and concluded last weekend.
“I realize this news is troubling, disappointing, and frankly, painful to read. These are valid feelings many of you have,” Kilar wrote.
Zucker resigned in disgrace from his post as CNN president earlier this month after acknowledging a years-long “consensual relationship” with Gollust, the network’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer.

Sources have told Page Six that Zucker moved Gollust into the building where he lived with his then-wife of 21 years, Caryn Zucker, before the two divorced in 2019.
