CNN suspended contributor Paris Dennard Wednesday following a report that the conservative commentator and Donald Trump supporter was fired from a university job in 2014 for sexually harassing women.

We are aware of reports of accusations against Paris Dennard , a network spokeswoman said in response to a Washington Post report on the allegations , CNN s Brian Stelter reported. We are suspending Paris, effective immediately, while we look into the allegations.

Dennard got canned as events director for Arizona State Universitys McCain Institute for International Leadership for making sexually explicit comments and gestures toward women, the Post reported, citing a university official and documents.

In one incident, Dennard reportedly told a recent graduate who worked for him that he wanted to have sex with her. The Post cited an ASU report indicating Dennard had pretended to unzip his pants in her presence, tried to get her to sit on his lap, and made masturbatory gestures.
