The former CNN anchor was fired last year for violating CNN's journalistic standards when he helped his brother, ex-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, navigate the sexual harassment allegations against him.

Chief marketing officer Allison Gollust quit after the end of a probe of former prime-time star Chris Cuomo. Gollust, Cuomo and former CNN chief Jeff Zucker were all cited for violating standards.

"My client came forward at this time because she felt in sharing her story and related documentation, she could help protect other women," said attorney Debra Katz on Sunday.

"It hurts to even say it," the popular cable news anchor told listeners of his SiriusXM show on Wednesday. Cuomo has been suspended by CNN indefinitely, pending an evaluation by the network.

CNN said new documents "raise serious questions" about the anchor's role in trying to help his brother, former N.Y. governor Andrew Cuomo, respond to sexual misconduct allegations.
