Update:
3. Lizza, in a statement to CNN's @TomKludt, says the firing is a terrible mistake and involved "a respectful relationship with a woman." He also says the decision was made hastily by the New Yorker (which is owned by Conde Nast) https://t.co/5okJll8eJd

Hmmm.
I'd like to see a guy who says he didn't do anything wrong also not apologize. https://t.co/4GNjlflyzO
