Shelley Ross, the veteran TV producer who previously came forward to accuse Chris Cuomo of sexual harassment, offered her reaction to his firing from scandal-plagued CNN. «It is always disturbing to watch someone’s fall from grace,» Ross told Fox News. «Many people lost very important jobs in the wake of the sexual harassment scandals surrounding Gov. Cuomo.» «I am glad that CNN will fall on the right side of history. Those who harass women, strategize to silence or smear those who come forward must be held accountable,» Ross added. Ross, who earlier doubted that the liberal network would sever ties with Cuomo, went public in September penning a guest essay in the New York Times alleging that Cuomo squeezed her buttock at a work function in 2005 while the two of them were colleagues at ABC News. She shared the email he had sent to her apologizing for the incident. The scandal-plagued network issued a statement Saturday evening announcing it had terminated Cuomo «effective immediately,» coming just days after he was suspended pending a review of the damning revelations from the New York Attorney General’s office about his involvement in protecting his scandal-plagued brother, ousted Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo. «While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light.
