CHRIS Cuomo's upcoming book has been pulled after he was reportedly forced out of his SiriusXM slot and dumped from CNN – as his wife is spotted hiding out in the Hamptons.

The axing of the book, originally titled Deep Denial, was confirmed in a statement by HarperCollins spokesperson Kelly Rudolph on Tuesday, who told the NY Post, "we don't intend to publish the book."

Deep Denial was due to be published in the fall of 2022 after its initially slated release for January was pushed back.

Prior to Rudolph's confirmation, a report surfaced that a listing for the planned hardcover was recently removed from Amazon.

Cuomo's book was touted as “a provocative analysis of the harsh truths that the pandemic and Trump years have exposed about America — about our strength and our character — and a roadmap of the work needed to make our ideals match reality.”

News of its canning comes in the wake of successive knock-backs for the 51-year-old over the last few days.

MOUNTING WOES

Cuomo's misery began on Saturday when he was fired from his prime-time CNN slot just four days after being suspended for secretly helping his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, fight a slew of sexual harassment allegations.

Then, the fired anchor revealed on Monday that he’s dropping his SiriusXM radio show – a decision that followed a sexual harassment allegation.

"While I have a thick skin, I also have a family, for whom the past week has been extraordinarily difficult,” Cuomo said in a Twitter post on Monday. He said he’s stepping back to "focus on what comes next."

However, sources told the NYPost that Cuomo "really wanted" to stay, but was told he needed to leave.

After the announcement, SiriusXM said that Cuomo’s “Let’s Get After It” will no longer air and thanked him for his work. The show began in 2018.

Cuomo was criticized for breaching journalistic ethics by assisting his older brother during his own harassment scandal, which forced Andrew Cuomo out of office in August.

CNN had suspended the younger Cuomo after learning that his actions were more extensive than previously thought.

The network said that documents released by state Attorney General Letitia James last week gave the company “cause to terminate” him.

The documents revealed that Chris Cuomo has passed along and discussed passing along potentially negative information about women who had accused Andrew of misconduct.

CNN also said that it took action against Chris Cuomo after receiving “new allegations” of sexual misconduct that date to when he formerly worked for ABC News.

SEXUAL MISCONDUCT CLAIM

His accuser, who has chosen to remain anonymous, took her allegations to CNN on Wednesday through her lawyer, Debra Katz.

Katz did not give any specifics about the allegations.

Chris Cuomo, through a spokesman, has said the harassment claims were untrue. “If the goal in making these false and unvetted accusations was to see Mr. Cuomo punished by CNN, that may explain his unwarranted termination,” the spokesman said.

Katz was first to tie Cuomo’s firing to the accusations, saying in a statement that “CNN acted promptly on my client’s complaint and fired Mr. Cuomo.”

In his post on Monday, Cuomo said the way his time at CNN ended was "hard."

He was grateful for the support he’s received from SiriusXM, Cuomo said, thanking his ”loyal listeners” and adding that he looks forward to “being back in touch with you all in the future.”

As her husband's woes continue to mount, Chris' wife Christina Cuomo was pictured hiding out at the couple's home in East Hampton, Long Island, on Tuesday.

Christina, who has been married to Cuomo for two decades, appeared stern as she pulled over to take photos of vehicles driving near the property.

Security crews were also seen patrolling the luxe area.
