Second Former Aide Reportedly Accuses Andrew Cuomo Of Sexual Harassment
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING A second aide who worked for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo last year has come forward publicly to accuse him of sexual harassment, The New York Times reported Saturday. He also reportedly complained then of being lonely during the pandemic, adding: “I can’t even hug anyone.” When Bennett said she missed hugging her parents, she said he responded: “No, I mean like really hugged somebody.” Bennett told the Times: “I understood that the governor wanted to sleep with me, and felt horribly uncomfortable and scared. Bennett on Wednesday tweeted a link to Boylan’s accusations, adding: “For those wondering what it’s like to work for the Cuomo admin,” read Lindsey Boylan’s story. The governor said he “never made advances toward Ms. Bennett, nor did I ever intend to act in any way that was inappropriate.” Cuomo didn’t deny asking her personal questions.
