CNN said it would bring legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin back to its roster of contributors after he was suspended from his main place of employment for exposing himself during a Zoom call with colleagues.
“I hope to be a better person off camera as well as on camera,” Toobin told anchor Alisyn Camerota in one of the more bizarre segments CNN has broadcast in recent memory. Toobin in October was fired from Conde Nast’s The New Yorker after being spotted masturbating on camera during a business call on Zoom. At the time, CNN said the writer had asked for time off, but made no mention of a suspension or termination. Toobin, an attorney, has become a celebrated writer over the years, and one of his books became the basis for a popular FX series about the trial of disgraced football great O.J. Simpson.
The decision is likely to spur mixed reactions.
