CNN's Jim Sciutto is absent from the air. Suffered a 'serious fall' in Amsterdam and ordered to 'address personal issues'

Hmmmm......Amsterdam. A Fall. In Amsterdam with his producer. Amsterdam. Sex. Drugs. Sumptin's up

Assuming he has a drug or alcohol problem and he was inebriated when he fell?

I wanna know what?!

So, stinking drunk and fell down?

Shit, no! He’s an impressive fellow. I hope he’s ok.

Wow, classic BDF! Mama likey.

He was on this week…might even been yesterday and he hasn’t been in the Ukraine for months. CNN is pretty random with their daytime anchors. Not a day goes by when a host of one of their daytime shows has a fill in. Just today Kate Bouldan and Jake Tapper were out. And don get me started on Alison Camerota and Victor Blackwell…it’s rare when they’re both together for a solid week.

Fell... on a hooker and got syphilis?

Glug glug puff puff kaboom

Looks like a nice tight bod under those suits. Any nudes?

Bit of VPL in gym shorts:

Sciutto is fine, but I've been crushing on John Berman for years. Something so sexy about Berman. Any info on him ???

Can Boris Sanchez take over his hour?

Was this a male producer?

And did he fall onto his cock?

He's married with kids but looks quite sassy in his younger photos on Instagram.

Cocaine?

A drunk?. People fell off during the quarantine

Slip and fall, too much fuck’n jizz on the floor.

R13 The things I would do with that man!

He fell into the red light district?

His big Italian dick was finally too much for him to carry.

R12 I'm another John Berman fan. I've crushed on him since his early show with Christine Romans. Is it his great hair or his sense of humor?

Jim and Nick Parton Walsh for my mouth

CNN anchor and reporter Jim Sciutto has been off the air this week for a “personal leave” after an investigation by the network related to a serious fall he had earlier this year in Amsterdam, according to reports.

Sciutto had been traveling back to the United States after covering the war in Ukraine and was injured during a stopover in the Dutch city, according to The Daily Beast. Sciutto had since recovered, and CNN directed Sciutto to deal with a “personal situation,” the report said.

CNN has since given him leave, The Daily Mail reported on Wednesday. He accordingly did not appear on Tuesday’s or Wednesday’s editions of CNN Newsroom, the 9 a.m. ET show he anchors alongside Poppy Harlow. CNN did not respond to a request for comment, according to The Daily Mail report.

Sciutto has traveled to Ukraine three times for CNN since the start of the Russian conflict and ensuing invasion to report on the war. According to The Daily Mail, the most recent trip came in April.

The Daily Beast noted the network’s staff typically travels back from Ukraine through Poland. So it was unclear why Sciutto was in Amsterdam. Details of his fall or injuries were also uncertain.

The developments come as CNN aims to revamp much of its news gathering and production under new president Chris Licht. The initiative has seen the network make new hires and elevate executives to new positions while also jettisoning on-air talent, including most notably former “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter, who was fired in August.

The story above makes no sense.

[quote] Sciutto had been traveling back to the United States after covering the war in Ukraine and was injured during a stopover in the Dutch city, according to The Daily Beast. Sciutto had since recovered, and CNN directed Sciutto to deal with a “personal situation,” the report said.

This is word salad and gobbledygook.

Why don't these assholes at CNN just come out and say what the fuck is the problem?

I wish his dick was in my mouth right now! 👅

I bet Jim Sciutto can hit like a rock star!! :-)

CNN network bosses have reportedly pulled veteran anchor Jim Sciutto off the air and ordered him to “address a personal situation” following a bad fall in Amsterdam.

The Daily Mail reported on Wednesday that Sciutto, 52, had not been on the air on Tuesday or Wednesday to host “CNN Newsroom” with his co-anchor Poppy Harlow — and that he had been placed on personal leave by the higher-ups.

The report tied Sciutto’s apparent personal leave to an internal CNN investigation into a “serious fall” he suffered in Amsterdam on the way home from one of three trips to Ukraine. Sciutto, who is also the network’s chief national security correspondent, traveled to the Eastern European nation three times — in February, March, and April — to cover to ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

According to a report published last week by The Daily Beast’s Confider, on at least one of those trips — despite the fact that CNN offered a more direct flight back from Poland to the United States — Sciutto and his producer apparently opted to make a stop in the Dutch capital on his way home. While there, he suffered what was described as a “serious fall.” Confider noted that the anchor had “since recovered,” but was then “directed by CNN to address a ‘personal situation.’”

Neither CNN nor Sciutto has publicly addressed his absence from the airwaves.

WTF????

What in the world happened? Falling down and then addressing personal situations? Super fishy. He was fucked up or could it be domestic violence? Either way, he has a big dick and that's all that really matters.

I love him and never thought of him as particularly “troubled” so this is surprising.

I’m over here horny as hell.

This story makes no sense.

I mean, why even report on it, if there's NO STORY there?

He slipped on a glace cherry & found himself inside the man

I’m horny. Please help me.

R12, he's a munchkin. But at least someone's crushin' on him.

^^^^^

Munchkin ????? I don't care - he's hotter than Hell.

jim we love you please get up

also please let me ride your cock until the sun comes up

They want him out. You don't leak this shit unless you really want to damage an anchor's credibility.

But why?

Why did ABC keep lightweight drunken homophobe Elizabeth Vargas's showing up blotto to interviews secret but CNN is leaking this? Jim always seemed to do a solid job, including risking his life in war zones.

QUITE good-looking.

They're dropping like flies at CNN.

Poppy Harlow, what a name.

R39 I miss Cuomo :(

R40 her name sounds like it should belong to a 1930s starlet

I was just watching him last week and was impressed how professional he was. Maybe he was fucking a Dutch hooker upside down and they toppled over.

So what's our takeaway from this story?

I mean, it kind of titillates me to think that Jim Sciutto is some kind of blackout drunk sex freak, when he's not working.

That's hot!

R39..I, Miss Cuomo, or i miss cuomo. Which one?

I once took a bad fall on an Amsterdam street, with a trolley approaching, bikes, and cars. My glasses had also flown off, and Mary, I was scared! Luckily I scrambled to safety. I can believe this guy fell without any added alcohol!

But WITH alcohol on cobblestones and trolley tracks? Goodnight, Vienna!

His last trip to Ukraine was in April—six months ago.

Has he been Jessica Savitch-ing on the air lately? If so, I missed it.

This seems like a smear campaign. He pissed off the big conservative shareholder with his previous reporting and they want him gone.

Oh no Hot Daddy in trouble

Hot? He's an old!

Another sassy young Sciutto shot.

We're the same age, and I would have "experimented" with him back then so fast...

[quote]So what's our takeaway from this story?

He's fallen and he can't get up!

Add me to the list of people who think CNN leaked this to pressure him into resigning. They want him gone but don't want the bad press they'd get for firing him.

This is garbage, and it is so curious to me that it is happening under Chris Licht.

Licht created the Morning Joe format at MSNBC—the roundtable—which he was hired away to replicate at CBS This Morning, which he did to decent ratings.

Then, when Colbert's late-night show was in trouble, they moved him over there, and he let Colbert be full-bore anti-Trump, which brought him to #1 in the ratings.

So now he's at CNN and seems to be eliminating anyone who was critical to Trump.

[quote]Falling down and then addressing personal situations?

This sounds exactly like "drunk and fell down and needs to sober up" EXCEPT he fell down months ago.

This absolutely sounds like a smear campaign, which doesn't make sense. They're firing left and right at CNN because new management wants the station to attract MAGA, so why bother with a smear? Just let him go.

About a year ago, I was watching CNN, probably AC360, and they cut to Jim Sciutto in some European location (I can't remember where) for comment (I can't remember the topic) and I thought he looked possibly high or maybe a little drunk. His responses were slow, and he seemed a little off. Not out of it by any means, but he was definitely "off". It was just a quick cutaway, like they often do in news stories. I didn't think much about it, but when I saw this thread, I remembered it. Hmm. It wasn't really obvious, but it did stick in my mind. I like him, he's very professional, and I wonder if there's something to this story. I hope he's doing ok.

This is actually scandalous. When is the last time a major anchor or correspondent has been removed from the air and told publicly to get their shit together?

Never.

Plenty of major news personalities have had problems and been benched by their organizations to deal with them off-air. But this is NASTY. Like, he's broadcasting one day and pulled off the air with this explanation the next? Gross.

David Zaslav, the new overlord of Warner Bros and CNN, is a MAGA freak and he wants CNN to take a hard right turn. I was expecting expecting tons of firings, leaks making people look bad, and pressure resignings, and Sciutto seems to be the first major one.

R50: he must have experimented during his Yale undergraduate days

Painkiller addiction following the fall?

Last week, the new boss made me dress up like a leprechaun and dance a jig just to try and get Clarissa Ward to smile. It was humiliating, but I'm an Irish fatty in a newsroom full of beautiful people, so I'm just happy to be here.

Watch your harsh language! Don't make me uh ...

uh ...

*splat*

When is his chaturbate starting, and will he take requests?

Daddy

Salt and pepper

Agree with R57.

Did Big Dick Jim start pushing back on CNN's pro-Trump narrative so the boss decided he had to go? And, just like any dickweasel, he wants to ruin Jim while he pressures him into resigning? No one would be shocked if this was the case.

I don’t understand the link between the “serious fall” earlier this year and whatever personal issues he has going on now. If he’s drunk all the time, fine. Let him take some time, maybe go off to rehab, and get this shit together. But why bring up one incident that presumably occurred months ago? People fall down all the time - drunk and sober. I saw a guy take a tumble yesterday at 8:30 am. He didn’t look or seem drunk. And the fall could not have been all that serious if he didn’t have to take time off them. It’s not like he broke both legs.

Clearly they are all just jealous of his huge, thick, pendulous swinging cock and heavy bull balls.

I haven't watched CNN in a while -- are Phil Mattingly and Boris Sanchez still around?

Phil Mattingly is a stud.

^Painkiller addiction following fall. Wasn't street savvy enough to have a good dealer on speed dial. Wasn't honest with some Dr. or friend who could get him the drugs he needed. Got caught out. Tried to make a deal. Dumb white boy got BUSTED. Law enforcement involved.

Given a shot by powers that be to get his shit together. Oldest story in the book..Sheesh some of you folks forget to take the hayseeds out of your hair when you got off the bus!

r41 Chris Cuomo has a new weeknight show on NewsNation.

maybe he needed to have an surgical procedure?

^Surgical procedure to take the needle outta' his arm!!

Jim is a druggie..sorry to bust you dick pull fantasy!!

A painkiller dependence after an injury makes sense. Somebody leaked this to the Daily Beast, presumably, to damage him. It must be like Game of Thrones around there these days.

Excessive drinking and then taking a serious fall can lead to bad consequences

Mid life crisis

Especially bad for men of whatever orientation

Substance addition in men of a certain age: it can happen to the best of us

[quote]They're firing left and right at CNN because new management wants the station to attract MAGA,

No they don’t. The people they’re keeping are hardly MAGA magnets.

Love,

Someone who actually watches CNN and doesn’t get my info from social media.

Aren’t they just trying to make CNN the Jake Tapper network? Everyone seems to be getting fucked over there but him.

Here's the good news: Erica Hill is covering the show. I don't know why CNN doesn't give her a show of her own. They pull her in to cover for all the biggies -- Anderson, Don, Brianna, etc. Maybe she doesn't want to have her own show? But why would she prefer being called in on short notice to be a substitute?

I'm going with the fall / painkiller addiction. I think it's more than obvious, and has been leaked by CNN so he resigns.

Let them get rid of Jim so he can go to MSNBC where he'll fit in better. Get rid of Joy Reid and replace her with Jim in the 7 pm hour. Watch ratings go up.

I always thought he was a bit misplaced as an anchor. Neither liked nor disliked him. He's a good reporter but the chase has to wear you down.

"... he wants CNN to take a hard right turn."

Then I'll be taking a left and not watching them anymore.

You CANNOT get a handle on a painkiller addiction by having two days off from work!!

R67 as well as his huge, copious loads of virile semen.

Jim was obviously a little bit high when he was on location and slurred "back to you, Poppers..."

So John King was drunk on election night and that was ok - but something that may or may not have happened privately - he’s forced to resign.

Makes sense.

I don’t think a painkiller addiction after a fall in 2022 is likely. Maybe 2010. They just don’t give that stuff out like they used to.

I read this as alcoholism. Nothing else is as plausible.

I hope he lands on his feet. When I watched that station more often, I always enjoyed watching him.

I like Sciutto. He seems nice and mild-mannered. A good reporter

as an anchor though, sometimes he stutters. Maybe I'm reaching but I wonder if he ever drinks or takes something before going on air to be less nervous?

Fell, chasing prostitutes again I see…

A better anchor and better looking than Tapper. It's a shame he doesn't have more viable options in his field if he's unhappy or struggling in some way. If he's become addicted to something,I hope he can get help.

If it is drugs and/or booze, I wouldn't blame him. I couldn't imagine having to put up with the insufferable Poppy Harlow every weekday morning. You could feel the chill between them. Terrible combo. Even at the time I was wondering why they moved him to a spot as part of a sunny morning-show couple. He seemed pissed.

[quote]Get rid of Joy Reid

No. Joy is great. You just hate successful black women.

I tend to think that he’s dealing with some issues with drinking, due to what happened on the air several months ago — maybe even late last year. Jim was filling in for Anderson Cooper and he was obviously drunk. He was slurring his words, making erratic arm and hand movements, taking long pauses between statements and he had a wonky, smiley look on his face the entire time. It was even all over his Twitter with people asking in real time if he was drunk. At the time, I assumed that he had probably gone home, had a few libations and was unlucky enough to get called in last minute to fill in for Anderson, and instead of telling his bosses that he’d had a few and wasn’t on-air ready, he decided to just go in anyway and try his best to hide his inebriation. Didn’t work. And the next morning, he was right back on the air and back to normal (but with a massive hangover I’m sure). I’m sort of pissed that I didn’t record that episode because it really was something to see.

And add me to the list of those who think he’s hung. Not only is he tall, thin and bow-legged (which is a classic build for a guy with a big cock), but look at that package. His nuts alone look huge…

Okay, it was March 2021 when he was on-air drunk. I was way off on when it happened, but I remember it vividly.

Even Lipstick Alley was talking about it!

Sciutto drunk on-air

He has pinholes in OP's pic. Heroin, I'm guessing. Would explain the sudden detour to Amsterdam.

[quote]as an anchor though, sometimes he stutters.

That's a d-d-d-deal b-b-b-br-breaker.

Was he there with his good friend Al? Al Co Holic?

what happened was he was drunk with a amsterdam hooker, who convinced him to allow her to make a replica of his huge harder than a rock erection and as he was waiting for the cast to be dry and be made making a perfect exquisitely detailed replica of his erection, he passed out and fell off the chair and injured himself and his boner and damn, ruined the cast too!..

"I WISH!" laugh...

R99–wow. Bombed. Just bombed.

Thanks for posting.

Gosch! I could do [italic]that![/italic]

Deadly erection

^ OMFG

Don Lemon bid adieu on Friday night with tears in his eyes (of course) and a very emotional reflection of the past 8 years. No set date on his morning show.

Echoes of the Bob Saget incident?

By the way, there never was a concluding cause of death that made sense .

He’s probably “seen some things that a woman ain’t s’posed to see” and has a hard time dealing. War zones fuck you up.

When I worked as a field journalist I learned quickly that this is the hardest drinking group of wandering gypsies on the planet.

There's pressure to join in and eventually drop one's trousers at some point during the night even if only to amuse colleagues.

It's no place for someone predisposed to addiction.

I want to taste his cum

A fall can really derail a career. Just ask me.

That's why I came out as gay. I need all the attention I get get, for fuck's sake

You're not alone.

Boris is so fuck’n hot. I would drink his sweet seed is a second.

He’s back.
