ONE ’MO GONE

CNN cans conflicted Cuo bro Chris

CNN fired anchor Chris Cuomo on Saturday in the wake of revelations that he secretly aided the defense of his embattled older brother, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — and now the ousted host faces a sexual-misconduct allegation of his own.

“This is not how I want my time at CNN to end,” Chris Cuomo, 51, said in a statement about his firing. “But I have already told you why and how I helped my brother.”

CNN confirmed the firing and said that Cuomo had been “terminated . . . effective immediately” as an outside law firm continues to investigate “his involvement with his brother’s defense.”

But the network was also notified of an unrelated sexual-misconduct allegation against Chris Cuomo himself, The New York Times reported. The accuser’s attorney, Debra Katz, had reached out to CNN Wednesday while the host was suspended, according to the Times. Katz also represents Andrew Cuomo’s former aide Charlotte Bennett, who accused her onetime boss of sexual harassment.

CNN said during a review of Chris Cuomo’s involvement with his brother, “additional information has come to light,” without specifying the nature of that info. “Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate,” the network added.

The “Cuomo Prime Time” star was suspended Tuesday when documents released by state Attorney General Letitia James showed that Chris used his press connections to help his brother’s staff pry into the past of a woman who accused him of inappropriately touching her — and then participated in strategy sessions aimed at helping the then-governor beat the sexual-harassment scandal that eventually forced him to resign.

Dozens of text messages showed Chris Cuomo and Melissa DeRosa, then Andrew’s top aide, discussing how to respond to the mounting allegations.

Chris tried to find dirt on at least one accuser, Anna Ruch, after she told the Times that Andrew 63, had made inappropriate advances toward her during a wedding reception at which she was photographed cringing as he held both sides of her face while looming over her.

“I have a lead on the wedding girl,” Chris texted DeRosa on March 4, two days after the Times report. On March 1, the documents show, the younger Cuomo critiqued a statement his brother issued a day earlier and sent DeRosa what he thought should have been the response to harassment allegations by former aide Bennett.

The revelations came after months of public claims by the anchor that all he did was “listen” and “offer my take” regarding his brother’s political troubles.

But James’ Aug. 3 sexualharassment report on Andrew revealed that Chris received “confidential and often privileged information about state operations” as the scandal unfolded — a detail that sparked outrage among some CNN employees.

In September, former ABC executive producer Shelley Ross accused Chris Cuomo of sexually harassing her at a 2005 work party.

Ross claimed that he grabbed her posterior at an Upper West Side bar in front of her husband and co-workers, and later called it a “hearty greeting.”

Chris told listeners of his SiriusXM show last year that he had renewed his CNN contract, which is worth $6 million a year, according to the Celebrity Net Worth Web site.
