*Author and legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended by The New Yorker for masturbating on a Zoom video chat between staffers and WNYC radio last week.
Toobin says he did not realize his video was on.
“I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers,” Toobin told Motherboard.
“I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video,” he added.
As noted by vice.com, Toobin’s Conde Nast email has been disabled and he is also taking some time from CNN as the network’s chief legal analyst.
“Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted,” CNN said in a statement.

Toobin wrote the book, “The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson,” which was adapted into the FX TV series “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” about the murders of Simpson’s wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.
In a video shared to his Twitter account (see clip above), the former NFL star said, “Damn, Jeffrey Toobin…At least Pee-wee Herman was in an X-Rated movie theater, I’m just sayin’.”
Simpson is referring to Pee-wee actor Paul Reubens, who was arrested in 1991 for masturbating inside an adult movie theater in Florida.
