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.
