Chris Cuomo is seen remaining incognito behind the wheel of his truck in the Hamptons

Former CNN host Chris Cuomo was captured driving out in the Hamptons after requesting a $60 million settlement from his former employer amid exit by network head Jeffery Zucker.

Cuomo, 51, was seen showing off his new moustache while donning a pair of sunglasses and a grey cap as he sat behind the wheel of his Ford truck on Wednesday.

The disgraced former network host had been fired from his position in December for supporting his brother Andrew and helping him to handle the sexual assault allegations made against him by 11 different women.

Since Cuomo’s termination, he has kept a low-profile and has moved from NYC to the Hamptons with his wife Cristina.  

He has since asked for ‘Megyn Kelly money’ with a request of a $60 million payout in favor of the $18 million left on his contract, a source told Page Six.

Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo wants a settlement worth up to $60 million from the network after they fired him in December, sources tell Page Six 

Chris Cuomo had been fired from his position as a CNN host on December 4 after his involvement with helping brother Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo amid the sexual assault allegations made against him.

The former CNN host even hired an attorney in December when he had been let go following a network investigation.

He was also previously accused of sexual harassment in September 2021 by his former boss Shelley Ross.

Attorney Debra Katz claimed that the allegation had been a significant factor in Cuomo’s termination from the network.    

CNN President Jeff Zucker previously said that Cuomo wouldn’t get a severance package, but WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar declined to address the issue during a virtual meeting with CNN’s New York-based hosts on Monday.

‘Chris insists he never did anything for his brother Andrew that Zucker didn’t know about. His camp believes Zucker wasn’t fired for an inappropriate relationship with Allison Gollust. Everybody knew about that and nobody cared,’ a source told Page Six.

‘What he believes happened is WarnerMedia found something in their investigation into Chris, perhaps internal memos or documents which revealed more about Zucker’s involvement with Andrew Cuomo. Gollust was just a convenient excuse.’   

A source added: ‘Chris intends to fight for every dollar on his contract, and loss of income from the 15 to 20 years left in his career, had Zucker not orchestrated a “f***-job” on him. He could ask for as much as $80 million but CNN isn’t going to pay that. But there’s an argument he could ask for as much as $60 million.’

Another source told Page Six: ‘Chris is telling people in the Hamptons he was wrongly fired, humiliated, his career has been ruined, and he wants Megyn Kelly money.’   

Zucker himself resigned on February 2 after revealing his romantic relationship with executive Allison Gollust.

Meanwhile, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo regrets resigning over ‘bogus’ claims he sexually harassed multiple women, and says he will not rule out running again but only once he has ‘exposed’ Attorney General Letitia James for going after him.

Cuomo stepped down last year after James issued a long report which labeled him a serial sex harasser. 

She based her findings on the accounts of 11 women who said Cuomo had at best made them feel uncomfortable or at worst, groped them. 

A criminal charge against him has since been dropped, and the last of five criminal investigations ended last week after a District Attorney in upstate New York ruled that there was insufficient legal grounds to bring criminal charges.

He has always maintained his innocence and says he stepped down because he did not want to be a ‘distraction’ for the state. 

Now, he says he regrets that decision and should have stood his ground. He also believes that James is responsible for the turmoil at CNN.

In an interview with Bloomberg published on Monday, he said: ‘I never resigned because I said I did something wrong. 

‘I said, I’m resigning because I don’t want to be a distraction.

‘It turns out in a remarkably short period of time that it did become all bogus. 11 became zero. 

‘If you do an honest summary, which is what I get from people on the street, I have been vindicated,’ he said, referring to the 11 women who accused him in the original report. 

He believes James was politically motivated to remove him from office – something that was briefly confirmed when James announced she was considering running for Governor – and he wants to ‘expose’ her for it. 

The allegations against Cuomo were mostly non-physical.
