Want some solid career advice? Don’t show your dick on Zoom!
Vice is reporting that The New Yorker has suspended staff writer Jeffrey Toobin after he exposed his dick to New Yorker and WNYC radio staffers during a Zoom call last week.
“I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers,” Toobin said in a statement. “I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video.”
In addition to being a writer for the New Yorker, Toobin also acts as the Chief Legal Analyst for CNN. His last CNN appearance took place on Saturday and while he hasn’t been suspended from the news network, we doubt we’ll be seeing him on there anytime soon. CNN hasn’t directly mentioned to the exposed penis incident, but they did release a statement saying Toobin will be taking some time off.
“Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted,” a CNN spokesperson told AdWeek.
If you ask us – Jeffrey really should have just watched and lived vicariously this Zoom-themed Men.com scene instead of actually exposing himself to a bunch of staffers. Would have saved him a lot of trouble and public embarrassment!
UPDATE:
Vice updated their story to report that Toobin was in fact masturbating on the Zoom call. The news outlet originally reported the situation as a “dick incident.” We have updated our headline to reflect this new development.
Per Vice:
Both people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely, noted that it was unclear how much each individual person on the call saw, but both of the people we spoke to said that they saw Toobin jerking off. The two sources described a juncture in the election simulation when there was a strategy session, and the Democrats and Republicans went into their respective break out rooms for about 10 minutes. At this point, they said, it seemed like Toobin was on a second video call. The sources said that when the groups returned from their break out rooms, Toobin lowered the camera. The people on the call said they could see Toobin touching his penis. Toobin then left the call. Moments later, he called back in, seemingly unaware of what his colleagues had been able to see, and the simulation continued.
He’s: old, fat, ugly, and a sex offender. Yeah he works for CNN alright. These creeps should get dragged and canceled and these are only the perverts that we ARE aware of.
Fire the idiot !
So where’s the video?
Goes to show you even the smartest legal minds can make big mistakes thinking w their dicks. No more Cock n Nookie News!
Ready? Aim. FIRED. SPLAT!
smart?
Apart from not even pretending to be independent, he is a moron from whom I would not seek legal advice or analysis.
I am surprised CNN is even on air anymore with their ratings. One by one they fall.
