Recently, an embarrassing news came out where a journalist got suspended for exposing himself during an official meeting. With the pandemic, everyone has been working from home as it has disrupted everyone’s work. The American lawyer Jeffrey Ross Toobin, the legal analyst for CNN and the New Yorker was suspended after he was caught masturbating during a meeting with his colleagues. The virtual meeting was being held on a zoom call when they caught him. After the news started spreading, Toobin came forward saying that he was really embarrassed about the stupid mistake he did. He apologized to everyone saying he thought that he had turned off his camera and the audio was on mute. He said that he would have never behaved the way if he knew he was online. Many went on to say that his argument is valid and his work was intruding on his bedroom.
How did the journalist and his colleagues react to this?
The Vice went on to question everyone who was present at the meeting. Some said that although it was unclear, they were sure he was jerking off. In between, they had a break when Toobin was seen on another call and the camera angle was lowered. They saw him touching himself after which he left the meeting and joined back not knowing what had happened. The next day Natalie Raabe confirmed that he has been suspended and they are investigating what had happened.
Nobody—NOBODY—deserves the level of humiliation that Jeffrey Toobin is being subjected to. I don’t even think Trump does, although I hope that he and his kids all do prison time.

Today we landed a spacecraft on an asteroid 200 million miles away and instead of talking about that we're all here on Twitter talking about Borat and Jeffrey Toobin's penis

All of these “actually what Jeffrey Toobin did is fine and the real problem is society” think pieces are barf worthy

Tobin has stepped down from his position asking for some time off. He said that whatever happened is a personal issue and he will come back once everything is settled. Few similar incidents have happened earlier also. One such is of judge Donald Thompson who was accused of masturbating during a trial and was later suspended. Also, a lawmaker was seen fondling his partner’s breasts during a video conference of a parliamentary session. As a result, he was also suspended after the video went viral. Clearly, work from home is not really suitable for many it seems.
