Chris Cuomo is ‘Sorry’ for
Helping His Governor Brother
Craft Response to Scandal.
On Thursday night,
Chris Cuomo issued a
statement to his colleagues
and viewers live on CNN. .
He apologized for helping his older brother,
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, craft a strategic response
to recent sexual harassment allegations made against him. .
Nine women have accused
Gov. Cuomo of sexual harassment,
inappropriate behavior and
non-consensual kissing. .
The ‘Washington Post’ broke the news earlier that
day that Chris had participated in a series of conference
calls discussing his brother’s response strategy. .
Now, today there are stories out
there about me offering my brother
advice. Of course I do. This is no
revelation. I have said it publicly, and
I have certainly never hidden it… , Chris Cuomo, via Huffpost.
In his apology, Chris defended his decision, saying he cannot be “objective” when it comes to “family.”.
I can be objective about just
about any topic. But not about
my family … Like you, I bet, my
family means everything to me.
And I am fiercely loyal to them.
I am family first, job second, Chris Cuomo, via Huffpost.
He went on to call his
involvement a “mistake” that
“[would] not happen again.”.
It was a mistake because
I put my colleagues here, who I believe
are the best in the business, in a bad spot. 
I never intended for that, I would never
intend for that, and I’m sorry for that, Chris Cuomo, via Huffpost.
CNN acknowledged in a statement that the journalist's
involvement was “inappropriate,” but he
won’t be facing any disciplinary action
