Boylan first spoke out about Cuomo’s abuse in December, writing on Twitter that he harassed her for years and that “many saw it” and did nothing. She wrote that she was motivated to speak out again after hearing about the harassment and intimidation New York assemblymember Ron Kim says he faced after criticizing the governor’s alleged cover-up of COVID-related deaths in nursing homes.
In her post, the former staffer went into greater detail about the kinds of harassment she and her female colleagues allegedly faced. Cuomo, she said, would touch her on the lower back, arms, and legs. Boylan also says her boss told her the governor had a “crush” on her and that Cuomo would make comments about female staffers’ weight and appearance.
double-check the wording of this tweet, looks like its missing the words 'said he' before the quote
