Former CNN anchor
Chris Cuomo
is seeking at least $125 million from his old employer, claiming the network wrongfully terminated him and smeared his journalistic integrity in the process.
Mr. Cuomo contends he is owed at least $15 million in salary and bonuses because of the network’s decision to fire him without cause, in violation of his contract, according to an arbitration demand filed with dispute-resolution provider JAMS on Wednesday. He was fired by CNN in December after an investigation into his efforts to help his brother, former New York Gov.
Andrew Cuomo,
respond to allegations of sexual harassment. Chris Cuomo is also owed at least another $110 million in damages stemming from the network’s failure to prevent employees from disparaging him, the complaint said.
