![]() ![]() Haven’t we all done something on a work call that, in normal circumstances, we’d never do during a meeting? Let he without sin cast the first stone the benefit of working from home is in the comfort to do whatever you want. ![]() Jeff toobin zoom video full#We’re almost finished with our seventh full month of quarantine, a hellscape of endless Zoom happy hours (no one likes them and I’m glad we all seemed to agree, at the same time - month three? - to just cut it out) and Zoom work calls (a lot of me not wearing pants and trying to figure out new ways to explain why I can’t go into another room to get a notebook I forgot because, again, I am usually not wearing pants). Most striking of all, though, is how bizarre it is that we haven’t read a thousand stories like this during the pandemic. ![]() It has everything: a high-profile media person, his penis, a Zoom nightmare come to life, and an inexplicable “election simulation” that remains unexplained throughout all of this. Loath as I am to relish someone else’s mini scandal, this one is.particularly tremendous. (Toobin told Motherboard that he didn’t know he was visible on the call while allegedly making mayonnaise.) He left the call, and then later returned, apparently unaware that colleagues caught the whole thing. At one point, Toobin seemingly joined a secondary call, lowered his camera toward his penis, and allegedly - and I believe this is the technical term here - cranked it real good. According to Vice, the call was “an election simulation featuring many of the New Yorker’s biggest stars,” including Jelani Cobb, Jane Mayer, Masha Gessen (playing Donald Trump), and Toobin (standing in for the courts), among others. (Except, maybe, leg-washing Twitter, which I have decided we shall never speak of again after the end of this sentence.)Įarlier on Monday, Vice reported that writer and CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin had been suspended by the New Yorker for masturbating on a Zoom call that took place last week between New Yorker staffers and WNYC. "Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted," a CNN rep said at the time.Yesterday was a fun day on Media Twitter, routinely the worst of all Twitter subcultures. Meanwhile, he also took a break from the airwaves. I will always love the magazine, will miss my colleagues, and will look forward to reading their work." In a since-deleted Tweet, Toobin addressed the termination: "I was fired today by after 27 years as a Staff Writer.

I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers. Toobin apologized to his family in a statement to Vice that month: "I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. The hiatus was related to an October 2020 Zoom call in which Toobin masturbated in front of his New Yorker and WNYC radio colleagues. It's been 14 months since Toobin returned to CNN following an eight-month break. This content is not available due to your privacy preferences. ![]()
