CNN anchor Chris Cuomo said being suspended by the network was embarrassing, addressing the controversy over his role in the sexual-harassment scandal involving his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, for the first time since the network took him off the air.

Chris Cuomo made his remarks on Wednesday during the beginning of his radio show, “Let’s Get After It With Chris Cuomo,” broadcast by Sirius XM Holdings Inc. After asking for the introductory music to be cut, the anchor addressed his suspension, saying, “It hurts to even say it.”
