Allison Gollust And Jeff Zucker’s Relationship

Allison confirmed the affair in a statement and said she would remain at the network in a statement released to the New York Times. He shared, “Jeff and I have been close friends and professional partners for over 20 years. Recently, our relationship changed during COVID. I regret that we did not reveal it at the right time.
