In announcing his resignation to staff, Zucker admitted that he failed to disclose the relationship with his underling to his superiors. Zucker resigned from his post as CNN president on Wednesday after acknowledging a years-long “consensual relationship” with Allison Gollust, the network’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer. “For a lot of us, the feeling is that, for Jeff, the punishment didn’t fit the crime … There are so many people who work here and got a second chance, because that’s what Jeff believed in, and … it feels like he didn’t get that chance,” Bash said.
