Losing a job can be difficult for a person in many ways, including mentally. After Chris Cuomo came to Andrew Cuomo’s defense, CNN decided to fire the journalist, and it took a toll on his well-being. he revealed on “Open Book with Anthony Scaramucci,” “I had to accept [my firing] because I was going to kill everybody, including myself. Things can consume you.”
The journalist then shared he has “made a lot of mistakes” and knew that he had to work on himself in therapy to move past them. Cuomo said, “There is damage that is relatable, there is damage that is unrelatable to people that I have to deal with, that I am working on.” However, he is still human, and sometimes things remain difficult for him.

Cuomo landed a job with NewsNation after he departed from CNN, however, NewsNation is not as popular amongst the masses as CNN. Cuomo revealed that he was somewhat “embarrassed” by his NewsNation viewership, which is slightly over 60,000. His viewers are a fraction of those who watched him on CNN, which got over a million people watching a night, per Page Six. Cuomo said, “It’s hard to keep perspective on that because it’s kind of embarrassing. I will never be [No. 1] again.” Although the journalist may sometimes reflect on the past, he’s doing his best to move forward with his life and his new career.
