The career of Jeffrey Toobin at the New Yorker and CNN is hanging in the
balance after the famous journalist was reportedly seen masturbating on a
Zoom call with colleagues, sources told Media Ink.

The New Yorker — where Toobin has been a legal correspondent for decades,
writing on everything from the O.J. Simpson trial to the Trump-Ukraine
controversy — suspended the 60-year-old scribe on Monday after a report
in Vice that he was seen masturbating toward the end of a Zoom call last Thursday.

One former staffer at the magazine said she believes his 25-year career
will come to an end over the incident.

“How do you go back and look your colleagues in the eye?” she said. “When
you end up on the front page of the New York Post, it’s bad.”

But another insider said that while the cringeworthy incident showed poor
judgment, its main victim was Toobin himself and his family, with perhaps
minor damage to the magazine’s reputation.

“The punishment has to fit the crime,” said one media executive. “Has the
public humiliation been enough?”

It’s a sticky situation for Toobin’s boss at the New Yorker,
editor-in-chief David Remnick. Both were hired as writers in the early
’90s and Remnick succeeded Tina Brown as E-I-C in 1998.

“Please be assured that we take such matters seriously and that we are
looking into it,’’ Remnick wrote in a terse memo to staffers on Monday.

The magazine has declined further comment pending an internal
investigation, and CNN said only that their star legal analyst had taken
leave to “deal with a personal issue.”

A former Harvard-trained assistant US Attorney, Toobin has become a
best-selling author in addition to his gigs at the New Yorker and CNN.
One of his books, “The Run of His Life,” about the O. J. Simpson murder
trial, inspired the award-winning 2016 FX series, “The People vs O.J.
Simpson: American Crime Story”.

“Damn, Jeffrey Toobin. At least Pee Wee Herman was in an X-rated movie
theater,” Simpson tweeted on Monday....

Great OJ tweet.

LOL, yeah. I caught that too
