The New Yorker has fired the writer Jeffrey Toobin after he was caught masturbating on a Zoom call last month.
“As a result of our investigation, Jeffrey Toobin is no longer affiliated with the company,” a New Yorker spokesperson told TheWrap on Wednesday.
In a tweet, Toobin also announced he was fired by the magazine after 27 years as a staff writer.
“I will always love the magazine, will miss my colleagues, and will look forward to reading their work,” Toobin wrote.
As first reported by VICE last month, Toobin was on a call with staff from the New Yorker and WNYC radio for an election simulation.
