Chris Cuomo spoke publicly Wednesday for the first time since being suspended from his job at CNN.

He discussed his indefinite suspension on his SiriusXM show "Let's Get After It."

"It hurts to even say it, it's embarrassing," Cuomo said. "But I understand it."

The Southampton resident says he only wanted to help and never wanted to compromise his colleagues.
