Top CNN star to leave network ahead of Paramount takeover and possible Bari Weiss leadership

CNN’s Chief Legal Affairs Correspondent Paula Reid is poised to leave the network ahead of Paramount’s takeover, according to reports.

Her exit comes as Paramount, which owns CBS, is set to acquire CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, in a massive $111 billion deal that has left some CNN staff reportedly feeling uncertain about the network’s future.
