Writer Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended by The New Yorker — because he exposed himself on a Zoom call between magazine colleagues and WNYC workers, a report said Monday.

Sources told the website that the suspension stemmed from Toobin — a Harvard Law School grad who also serves as CNN’s chief legal analyst — showing his privates during the online meeting.

Yeah, but to be fair, he thought he had "muted the Zoom video". We all make mistakes like that, right...

[–] sslssg (35179) 4 years ago

I just don't get it. He was masturbating? While on a work call?

this has never happened to me.

Yeah, right. When you mute the Zoom video your picture goes away and the message "video muted" comes up. So he didn't recognize his own head.

Caveat: I have only used Zoom once

I'm guessing one of the girls (or guys) he was on the Zoom call with was so hot that he just couldn't wait.

Do they show it? Lol. Not that I want to see it but wtf was he thinking??

[–] samoanjoes (58587) 4 years ago

The wrong head did the thinking.

Assume nothing. In this climate, anyone can say anything and it seems to have credibility.
Maybe he's a jo but I won't charge into that convo.

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 4 years ago

lol. Imagine a world where women did crap like that.

[–] samoanjoes (58587) 4 years ago

I mean, they would at least have sense to make sure the camera was completely off. Then masturbation would ensue.

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 4 years ago

Haha! The fact that he had the camera on suggests he’s done this a thousand times and he just got sloppy, no pun intended.

Story is growing in creep factor......turns out now he may have been pleasing himself.....

Looks like his career is over. It's kind of disappointing because he is able to write clearly about complex legal issues in a readable way...

We went to the same middle school and high school. Back in the 70s. He was in the class behind me. We weren't friends but I knew who he was, it was a small school. I'm not so sorry to see his downfall because i think he's been a "liberal elite" "do as I say not as I do" jackass on CNN (though I feel bad for his kids).

[–] Filmtenk2 (4137) 4 years ago

I'm one of the non elite liberals he catered to but I was never a fan. He seemed to be wrong about issues so many times I lost count. What a dumbass.

[–] nyctc7 (44104) 4 years ago

I thought so too. A Harvard educated dumbass.

O.J.: Damn, Jeffrey Toobin, at least Pee-Wee Herman ws in an X-rate movie theater.

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 4 years ago

Lol. Around the same time as that Pee Wee scandal a friend of mine also got busted for the same thing, also in Florida. Funny thing was that this guy was gay but it was a straight porno. Go figure.

[–] kwestmo (4385) 4 years ago

Hilarious

Early footage of Jeff Toobin uncovered!

I only just saw the video. I got the impression he was jerking off while watching his female coworkers in the online meeting call. How creepy for them. The guy in the lower left was hilarious.

Meanwhile, here in Australia some coworkers see a guy they work with accidentally undress for a shower in front of everyone on cam and the employer offers them all counselling:
