Jeff Zucker is walking away from CNN with a cool $10 million — as long as he doesn’t sue.
The former news boss has settled with WarnerMedia after his abrupt exit in February over a consensual relationship with an underling, Deadline reported Tuesday night.
The one-time payout should be in Zucker’s pocket by late next week, but with one contingency: he can never sue the company, an option he’d reportedly been weighing. But after “waves of bad press over the weeks,” Zucker had written off a civil lawsuit as a possibility, according to Deadline.
