Jeff Zucker, who has recently been in the news for stepping down from CNN over an undisclosed relationship with a colleague, had served as the president of CNN prior to resigning.

Zucker said he acknowledged the relationship when asked about it as part of the investigation of Chris Cuomo, which revealed that the now-fired anchor had aided his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, as he navigated a sexual harassment scandal.

“I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t,” Zucker wrote in a memo announcing the end of his nine-year tenure. “I was wrong.”

Jason Kilar, CEO of WarnerMedia, told employees in a memo that an interim leadership plan would be announced shortly.

Zucker, 56, has been an industry leader since he was executive producer of the “Today” show in the 1990s. In the following decade, he ran NBC’s entertainment division, where he was instrumental in putting Donald Trump on the reality show “The Apprentice.”

He rose to become chief of NBC Universal and left in 2010 when Comcast took over.

In a statement, Zucker said he wished that his tenure at CNN had ended differently but, “it was an amazing run. And I loved every minute.”

Allison Gollust, CNN’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer, acknowledged the relationship in a memo of her own.

“Jeff and I have been close friends and professional partners for over 20 years. Recently, our relationship changed during COVID. I regret that we didn’t disclose it at the right time. I’m incredibly proud of my time at CNN and look forward to continuing the great work we do everyday,” she said.
