#New Yorker suspends Jeffrey Toobin for showing penis during Zoom call

The New Yorker star writer and CNN chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin exposed himself on a Zoom call — and has now been suspended from the magazine, a report said Monday.

The incident happened during an online meeting between magazine colleagues and WNYC workers last week, sources told Vice.

“I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera,” Toobin later copped to Vice in a statement.

“I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video.

“I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers.”

A spokeswoman for the New Yorker said, “Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended while we investigate the matter.”

CNN added in a statement that Toobin, a Harvard Law School grad, would be taking time off from the cable network, as well.

“Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted,” CNN said in a statement.

Toobin is a staff writer at The New Yorker and famously covered the OJ Simpson trial for the mag in the 1990s.

He turned his Simpson coverage into a book, which fueled FX’s “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story’’ in 2016.

He is a prolific author who has written about everything from the US Supreme Court to presidents to onetime kidnapped heiress Patty Hearst.

Toobin didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
