With A $125 Million Arbitration Claim, Chris Cuomo Responds To CNN’s Smear Campaign
Chris Cuomo has officially fired the first volley in what appears to be a protracted legal battle with CNN over not just $125 million in cash, but also his character and family drama, following his December 2021 termination by Jeff Zucker.
Chris Cuomo Hits Back At CNN Smear Campaign
Chris Cuomo’s Freedman + Taitelman LLP and Clayman Rosenberg Kirshner & Linder LLP attorneys filed a petition for arbitration on Wednesday, claiming that “As a result of Turner’s indefensible choice to unceremoniously fire him, Chris Cuomo has been damaged in countless ways,”
“Cuomo has had his journalistic integrity unjustifiably smeared, making it difficult if not impossible for Cuomo to find similar work in the future and damaging him in amounts exceeding $125 million, which includes not only the remaining salary owed under the Agreement but future wages lost as a result of CNN’s efforts to destroy his reputation in violation of the Agreement. Cuomo now seeks to recover the full measure of his damages against Turner and CNN,”
Out of the claimed “Turner and CNN’s breach of the express provisions of the Agreement,” the $125 million is broken down into “consequential damages” of at least $110 million. Cuomo and his team believe the additional $15 million was due to him under his existing contract when he was fired “effective immediately” on December 4 by then-CNN president Zucker after sexual misconduct allegations were brought against the already-suspended presenter.
With Zucker’s bungled termination and compensation, as well as talent tub-thumping and future Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav’s appointment of Late Show EP Chris Licht to now skipper the cable news ship, CNN has experienced an avalanche of changes recently. All of this has made the ongoing Cuomo saga a dusty affair at times. Up until today, it felt like old news that Chris Cuomo’s on-again, off-again connection with his elder brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, was what led to the young sibling’s suspension on November 30 last year and kicked off the chaotic sequence of events.
Why did CNN suspend Chris Cuomo?
With terminology like “smear campaign” being utilized, that attitude will undoubtedly flip with this new filing against CNN America Inc. and Turner Services Inc., both of which are represented by Daniel Petrocelli.
According to the arbitration complaint, one provision, in particular, was played out in public:
An additional, and similarly significant, legally unjustifiable breach of the Agreement was the complete failure by Zucker to abide by the terms of the Agreement by failing to instruct CNN employees not to disparage Cuomo. The Agreement requires that CNN “make reasonable efforts to instruct its employees not to make any intentionally disparaging comments regarding [Cuomo] in the context of [Cuomo’s] business and professional activities.”
In fact, not only did Zucker and CNN fail to instruct CNN employees not to disparage Cuomo, as required by the Agreement, but they themselves openly disparaged Cuomo in violation of the Agreement, with Zucker leading the charge. Before Cuomo was terminated, Zucker at first claimed that he had been unaware of Cuomo’s discussions with Gov.
Cuomo’s aides, when Zucker had done the same thing himself. After Cuomo’s termination, Zucker claimed that Cuomo had broken his word and that Cuomo misrepresented the extent of his support for his brother. Other CNN staff joined in the calculated campaign to smear Cuomo and destroy his reputation.
“It should by now be obvious that Chris Cuomo did not lie to CNN about helping his brother,” attorney Bryan Freedman said.
“In fact, as the limited information released from WarnerMedia’s investigation makes clear, CNN’s highest-level executives not only knew about Chris’s involvement in helping his brother but also actively assisted the Governor, both through Chris and directly themselves, As CNN has admitted, network standards were changed in a calculated decision to boost ratings. When those practices were called into question, Chris was made the scapegoat.” the founding partner of Freedman + Taitelman noted.
“The legal action filed today makes clear that CNN wrongfully terminated Chris and further violated the express terms of his employment agreement by allowing its employees to disparage him. Chris is owed a full apology from those responsible.”
Will terminating Chris Cuomo help CNN partially regain its credibility?
If the contractually required arbitration fails, the former Chris Cuomo Prime Time presenter appears intent on opposing the extremely well-compensated Zaslav’s goal for billions in savings from the planned WarnerMedia and Discovery merger on his own. Whether the arbitration is conducted behind closed doors or not, today’s bold action will undoubtedly be nasty for the merged firm, as Cuomo’s team makes good on their previously suggested threat to lift the filthy curtain on what was actually going on during Zucker’s rule.
CNN’s next move will be to react to today’s filing with its own documentation on whether it feels there is a legitimate disagreement to arbitrate here — which may bring the case into the public eye.

After just one season, Nick Cannon’s self-titled syndicated daytime talk program will terminate. The two episodes being filmed today will be the talker’s final ones, the show’s producer-distributor Debmar-Mercury of Lionsgate is anticipated to inform the cast.
The program was supposed to take a five-week sabbatical while Nick Cannon was busy filming Fox’s The Masked Singer and VH1’s Wild ‘N Out, with the crew receiving a week’s compensation. Instead, Nick Cannon will permanently halt production, with the staff receiving severance.
There are enough episodes in the can to last the program through the season, according to insiders, so it won’t immediately go off the air.
The Fox Television Stations serve as the anchor group for the New York-based weekday talker. Two spots on the Fox Stations are now available for the upcoming season thanks to this week’s cancellations of Nick Cannon and The Good Dish on Sony Pictures TV, which in January took over for the venerable The Dr. Oz Show. A chat show with Jennifer Hudson was just picked up by the station group for the upcoming season; the time slots have not yet been determined.
Nick Cannon’s The Real could be canceled
Multiple sources claim that The Real, a seasoned panel chat program that airs on Fox duopoly stations, is likewise in danger of being canceled. Producer-distributor Warner Bros. denies this information.
The following season of Debmar-Mercury on the Fox Stations will have Sherri Shepherd as the host. It will replace The Wendy Williams Show, which will conclude its run this season after its host Williams was forced to take a leave of absence due to health difficulties.
The season’s lowest-rated single-host daytime syndicated talk program in terms of household ratings is Nick Cannon, which has averaged a 0.4 rating.
Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein, co-presidents of Debmar-Mercury, said “It’s never easy to cancel a production with clear potential but, after a great deal of deliberation and examining various options, we have made the difficult business decision to end production on Nick Cannon. We plan to offer viewers original episodes of the daytime talk show through the remainder of this season. Our thanks go to the very talented Nick Cannon and our wonderful production team, and we wish Nick continued success with his many hit ventures.”
Initially scheduled for an autumn 2020 debut on the Fox stations, Nick Cannon’s cancellation was also revealed by The Sun. When it was suspended in July of that year due to backlash from the actor-anti-Semitic comedian’s comments on his podcast, it was already in production and had received 90% of the nation’s clearances. In the end, the program premiered on September 28, 2021.
Along with his longtime manager, Michael Goldman, and the show’s creators, Katy Murphy Davis and Matt Strauss, Cannon executive produces the chat show The Masked Singer, which he presents for Fox and which airs on the Fox stations.
Former The Mandalorian actor Gina Carano said today that she will be starring in the Robert Davi-helmed film My Son Hunter, which will chronicle the son of the American president and his scandalous business activities and lifestyle. The image shows the youngest son of Vice President Biden living a high life while accumulating millions of dollars from international companies controlled by Chinese, Ukrainian, and Russian billionaires.
In the film, which is presently in Serbian production, Gina Carano will portray a jaded secret service agent. She joins the previously revealed cast of John James (Dynasty), who plays President Joe Biden, and Laurence Fox (Lewis, Victoria), who plays Hunter Biden.
Producer Phelim McAleer: “She is a world-weary secret service agent present at most of the Biden family’s dodgy dealings. She provides a voice of truth and Sardonic comedy over the absurd dealings of the Biden family and various Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian oligarchs. She is present throughout the film – commenting and sometimes narrating the absurd life and party lifestyle of Hunter Biden and the dodgy dealings of his father.”
Gina Carano said “The story, the cast, the crew, the people, this is what makes art great and this is what we’re doing. I feel excited to be working with incredible actors, a visionary director, and some newfound friends as producers. The script was instantly intriguing and side achingly hilarious to me, especially after being newly exposed to the political realm in 2020. Robert Davi is someone who reached out to me as soon as I was ‘canceled’ in Feb. 2021.
I signed on in support of him and one of my favorite humans Laurence Fox. They both have always been actors I adore watching and now they both have become my friends and mentors. The icing on the cake was getting to meet John James, a wildly funny charismatic, and lovable human. It is such a pleasure to be at the forefront of groundbreaking storytelling.”
Davi said “When we think of the modern female, we look to women that are intelligent, feminine, strong, nurturing and vulnerable and have a sense of humor. I have been blessed by knowing women who have served our nation … I wanted an actress who the audience would believe is capable of protecting such an iconic figure as Joe Biden.”
Following her contentious social media remarks, particularly on TikTok where she equated the political split in the U.S. to that of Nazi Germany, Disney announced earlier this year that Gina Carano wouldn’t be returning to further seasons of The Mandalorian. After her divorce from Disney, she was cast in Terror on the Prairie, a film she is also producing alongside The Daily Wire. The actress was also fired by her agency, UTA.
The producers of My Son Hunter are the Irish filmmaker and journalist duo Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney (Gosnell, FrackNation).
License to Kill, The Goonies, and Die Hard are just a few of Davi’s acting credentials. He also directed and produced the films The Dukes and Magic. Additionally, he has the EP “New York City Christmas” performed.

“We Don’t Talk About Bruno”, Oscars hit From Encanto, Is Selected For Prime Production Number; Cast From The Movie Will Feature
Another important movie song, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Encanto, which was not even submitted by Disney and songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda for consideration in the category, will be performed on the big show as part of the Best Original Song performers announced Tuesday for the 94th annual Academy Awards. Miranda is up for a nomination for “Dos Oruguitas,” another song from the same movie.
The word is spreading that this is planned to be a major highlight of the show, promoted as the first live performance of the song, which has topped music charts for weeks, according to promos running on ABC, an official press release today, and confirmation from producer Will Packer at the recently concluded Oscars press conference.
As well as in advertisements airing on ABC, a press statement issued today, and confirmation from producer Will Packer at the Oscars press conference that just ended. The idea that this will be a significant feature of the concert is starting to spread. It was promoted as the song’s debut live performance after weeks at the top of the charts.
Adassa, Stephanie Beatriz, Mauro Castillo, Carolina Gaitan, and Diane Guerrero, from the film Encanto, as well as Becky G and Luis Fonsi, will sing “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” during the Oscars, according to Packer, who explained why at today’s press conference.
“If there is a song that unites people this year it is this one, and that is kind of the epitome to me of what movies can do, because people of all stripes, ethnicities, ages, colors, backgrounds, around the world, are singing it ad nauseum, and we are going to help them out so they sing it a little bit more. Our apologies to the parents,” Packer laughed.
Sebastian Yatra will also perform “Dos Oruguitas,” another Encanto song that was nominated for an Oscar, so it won’t be the only Encanto song to be played during the ceremony. For Best Original Score and Best Animated Feature, the Disney movie is also up for nominations.
The 94th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday at the Dolby Theatre and will be broadcast live on ABC at 8 p.m. EDT/5 p.m. PDT in more than 200 countries around the world. There will be live closed captioning and audio descriptions accessible during the live broadcast, as well as American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation given by certified deaf interpreters.
The Tomorrow War 2 sequel sci-fi film with Chris Pratt is reportedly being discussed by Skydance and Amazon Studios in reaction to The Tomorrow War’s phenomenally successful worldwide streaming launch this past weekend.
There are plans to reunite the whole creative team, including Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski, Betty Gilpin, Sam Richardson, Edwin Hodge, and Oscar winner J.K. Simmons, both in front of and behind the camera. The studio that was initially assigned to theatrically release the first movie, Paramount, is also participating in the sequel.
Is the movie The Tomorrow War as bad as movie critics are saying it is?
According to Screen Engine’s PostVOD, the international sci-fi actioner debuted at No. 1 across streaming platforms during the holiday weekend after premiering on July 2nd in over 240 countries and territories exclusively on Prime Video. Since Screen Engine’s PostVOD summer reporting in May, the movie has been the most popular live-action streaming movie of the season.
The Pratt movie had 20,55K reviews on Amazon Prime, with a 4.5 out of the 5-star average. This is one of the greatest numbers and ratings for a recent release throughout the first week of the program.
Along with holding the top spot among streaming services in the US, Prime Video also had record-breaking viewership in countries across the world, including Brazil, India, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Australia, Mexico, Argentina, and Japan.
Streaming analytics corp. reports that in 3M Smart TV terrestrial homes Another successful weekend for Amazon followed Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse (2.3M U.S. households over three days, according to Samba TV) and Borat: The Next Movie, with 2.4 million U.S. households tuning in to Tomorrow War (1.6M).

Is The Tomorrow War coming to Amazon’s own Prime Video platform?
As previously informed, Skydance sold The Tomorrow War to Amazon for $200 million. In the aftermath of their acquisitions of Skydance, Paramount’s Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, and Paramount’s Coming to 2 America, which is supposedly Prime’s most-viewed movie ever, Amazon is committed to building up an arsenal of streaming tentpole titles.
The news of the upcoming The Tomorrow War follows the previously revealed Netflix sequel for Skydance’s The Old Guard, making Skydance one of the few production companies to debut an original movie franchise on two distinct streaming services. The sixth most viewed movie on Netflix, The First Old Guard, starring Charlize Theron, attracted 78M WW homes in its first four weeks.
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is a series that is also available on Amazon from Skydance and Paramount Television Studios.
Chris Pratt’s standing as a prominent actor is further solidified by Tomorrow War’s widespread popularity. The Tomorrow War is entirely original IP, even though Pratt has seen enormous success with the Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World franchises.
The information concerning Tomorrow War 2 was not confirmed by Amazon or Skydance. Pratt is shown here reveling in the viewing data from earlier this week:
