LA TimesJeff Zucker, from left, Tom Brokaw and Allison Gollust attend the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press’ 2016 Freedom of the Press Awards at the Pierre on May 17, 2016, in New York City. Allison Gollust, the chief marketing officer at CNN whose romantic relationship with the network’s former President Jeff Zucker led to his ouster, resigned Tuesday after an internal investigation found that she violated company policies. But WarnerMedia Chief Executive Jason Kilar announced her departure to staff in an email obtained by The Times, saying that Gollust, Zucker and fired CNN host Chris Cuomo had run afoul of company policies, including the network’s journalistic standards and practices. But I do so with my head held high, knowing that I gave my heart and soul to working with the finest journalists in the world.” News of Gollust’s exit circulated quickly after the New York Times published a detailed account of her and Zucker’s relationship with the Cuomo brothers and the circumstances that led to Zucker’s resignation.
