According to TMZ.com, an internal memo from Conde Nast chief Stan Duncan was sent to staffers this week, to inform them about the outcome of their investigation and the decision of the company to part ways with Toobin.
The email which was posted by The Daily Beast said Conde Nast would not countenance any conduct that threatens the company’s standards.
Before his sacking, Toobin had been suspended by the New Yorker and CNN weeks ago after he exposed himself on a Zoom call with New Yorker staffers as well as folks from WNYC radio, reports say.
The teenager took the stand Wednesday to testify in his own defense. During cross-examination by the prosecution, Rittenhouse broke down in tears as he recounted the events that led to the shootings.
The trial has proved contentious, as Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger's attempts to ask questions Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder has ruled were beyond the scope of the trial have repeatedly angered the judge.
According to him, he thought he had muted the camera while easing himself. It is unimaginable how urgent the urge to masturbate was that Toobin could not wait until he finished the zoom call.
He took to Twitter to confirm his sack, expressing how badly he would have loved to continue working with the New Yorker.
"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."
Rittenhouse is charged with first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, and first-degree attempted intentional homicide for shooting three people — killing two and injuring the third — during a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year. Defense attorneys argue Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time, acted in self-defense. He has pleaded not guilty.
