Viacom Is Reportedly Optimistic That They’ll Work With Nick Cannon Again

Well, well, there may have been a change of heart.

During a Monday town hall meeting with employees, Chris McCarthy, president of entertainment and youth brands at ViacomCBS, commended former employee Nick Cannon on his recent moves to right his wrongs, Variety reports.

“I struggle with the fact that Nick, a longtime partner, and friend of ours, is on this journey, and we’re not part of that journey,” McCarthy said after Cannon’s name was brought up.

He also mentioned that he was open to have a reunion, saying,” I am hopeful we find a way to bring these two things together, and hopefully, we will have the opportunity to do that with Nick again.”

In July, Viacom announced it was ending their long-standing relationship with the ex-Wild ‘n Out host over anti-Semitic remarks he made during his Cannon’s Class podcast. As a result, Cannon demanded full ownership of his former show and an apology.

“If I have furthered the hate speech, I wholeheartedly apologize,” he wrote in a Facebook post titled “Truth and Reconciliation.”

“But now I am the one making demands,” Cannon continued. “I demand full ownership of my billion-dollar Wild ‘N Out brand that I created, and they will continue to misuse and destroy without my leadership! I demand that the hate and back door bullying cease, and while we are at it, now that the truth is out, I demand the Apology!”

In an attempt to reconcile, Cannon invited Rabbi Abraham Cooper on his podcasts to discuss his anti-Semitic comments and conspiracy theories. Rabbi Noam E. Marans then interviewed him for the American Jewish Committee. After the interview, Rabbi Marans acknowledged in an article for the Jerusalem Post that through their discussion, Cannon “understands why his words were blatantly antisemitic and has begun the process of undoing the damage he has caused.”

Now, according to Cannon’s team, the media mogul is focused on” bringing people together and fighting bigotry, racism, and hate.”
