CNN has seen some major shakeups in recent years. The arrival of CEO Chris Licht, for example, led to several switch-ups in the company, along with certain anchors getting pink slips.

Licht came on board after the company struggled with a series of scandals and declining ratings. Several of these scandals dealt with the conduct of individuals employed by CNN.

One of those individuals is Chris Cuomo, the current host of News Nation and younger brother of former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The younger Cuomo found himself sacked from CNN after using his connections in the press to help his brother dig into women making accusations of sexual impropriety against him.

Now, over a year later, Chris Cuomo is sharing how he dealt with the aftermath of his firing.

Cuomo spills the beans

On a podcast run by Anthony Scaramucci, a former press secretary of the White House, Cuomo didn't hold back at all.

The former CNN news anchor said after losing his job, he struggled to truly accept and come to terms with it. Cuomo also noted that he wrestled with the "passionate" nature tied to his Italian heritage.

In a somewhat hyperbolic fashion, Cuomo went on to say he once reached a state of wanting to kill himself, along with everyone else.

On Twitter, the former news anchor for CNN shared some follow-up remarks to the interview. Cuomo explained each individual has to learn how to deal with negative feelings. He likewise said emotional struggles and hardships are something each human being faces.

Landed on his feet

Despite the fallout from Cuomo getting canned from CNN in 2021, one can say he landed on his feet, all things considered. He secured another job working in the media, this time for News Nation.

In remarks about News Nation, Cuomo's stated it appeals to the silent majority of Americans whom he describes as Independents without affiliations to either major political party.

Cuomo's slot on News Nation is viewable all five weeknights, starting at 8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. He also maintains an active social media presence that covers his work with the company.
