Career

[edit]

Ross was a segment producer of The Tomorrow Show in 1981. In 2016, she accused her boss, Roger Ailes, of sexual harassment shortly after she was hired in 1981.[8]

Ross was a producer for ABC News.[9] For her work on prime time, in 2005, she won a shared Gerald Loeb Award for Television Deadline.[10] Ross was a producer of The Early Show.[11][12]

In September 2021, she accused her previous employee, Chris Cuomo, of sexually harassing her in 2005 during an employee's farewell party at a bar in Manhattan.[9][13][14][15] Stopping short of asking him to be fired from CNN, she said she would "like to see him journalistically repent." Cuomo admitted to the incident and apologized in a statement: "As Shelley acknowledges, our interaction was not sexual in nature. It happened 16 years ago in a public setting when she was a top executive at ABC. I apologized to her then, and I meant it."[16]
