It\u2019s an incredible loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJeff is a remarkable person and an incredible leader, Camerota continued. \u201cHe has this uncanny ability to make \u2014 I think \u2014 every one of us feel special and valuable in our own way, even though he is managing an international news organization of thousands of people.

And I don\u2019t think that comes around all the time, and again, I think it\u2019s an incredible loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Camerota went on to say that the way Zucker had resigned felt \u201cwrong\u201d to her as well, adding, \u201cThese are two consenting adults who are both executives \u2014 that they can\u2019t have a private relationship feels wrong on some level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stelter pushed back somewhat, saying that his sources appeared to believe that Zucker had not been given a choice, as evidenced by the fact that he had offered to stay on and assist with the transition to new leadership and had been told that was not acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly responded to Camerota\u2019s comments, noting that the colleague with whom Zucker had a relationship \u2014 Allison Gollust \u2014 had followed Zucker up the ranks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTell it to the women who got passed over for a promotion so the boss\u2019s lover could have the spot.
