Longtime New Yorker staff writer Jeffrey Toobin was fired Wednesday after exposing himself on a video call last month.
The Daily Beast first reported that New Yorker employees had received a memo from the chief people officer at Cond" Nast, which owns The New Yorker, who told them Toobin was fired following an investigation.
Toobin quickly confirmed the news on Twitter, writing that he was fired, but "will always love the magazine, will miss my colleagues, and will look forward to reading their work.
I was fired today by @NewYorker 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.
