Jeffrey Toobin has been fired from the New Yorker after allegedly being caught masturbating on a Zoom call with magazine staff.
Toobin, 60, took to Twitter to announce his departure from the magazine after working there for almost three decades.
Toobin tweeted: ‘I was fired today by @NewYorker after 27-years as a Staff Writer. I will always love the magazine, will miss my colleagues and will look forward to reading their work’.
According to TMZ an internal memo from Conde Nast chief Stan Duncan was sent to staffers this week, letting them know that as a result of their investigation Toobin was no longer affiliated with the company.
Toobin was suspended by the New Yorker for exposing himself on a Zoom call with New Yorker staff members as well as staff from WNYC radio.
Toobin called the incident “embarrassingly stupid”.
He was allegedly masturbating, and insists he thought he was muted and his camera was off.
