A former aide to New York Gov. Cuomo says the governor subjected her to 'pervasive harassment' during her years of working for him, including numerous inappropriate comments in front of other people and a kiss on the lips while they were alone.

In the Medium essay, Boylan said her problems began after her first encounter with the governor at an event in Manhattan in January 2016.As time went on, she wrote, she complained to friends that Cuomo"would go out of his way to touch me on my lower back, arms and legs."

"He was seated facing me, so close our knees almost touched. His press aide was to my right and a state trooper behind us," Boylan wrote. She said that after he made the crude comment, she responded sarcastically,"That’s exactly what I was thinking." She said the harassment"extended beyond just me. He made unflattering comments about the weight of female colleagues. He ridiculed them about their romantic relationships and significant others. He said the reasons that men get women were 'money and power.'"

"As I got up to leave and walk toward an open door, he stepped in front of me and kissed me on the lips. I was in shock, but I kept walking," she wrote.

If he did, IF he did, she couldn't turn her head away? Gov Cuomo must have spent a lot of time lying on the floor in wait, all to touch her legs. According to her, it was her 'beauty' that drove Gov Cuomo wild. What an imagination!!!

這是要拿褲摸開刀了 為什麼逍遙那麼久呢 跟中共的選擇性反腐類似

I give it 20 years and women will be more single, divorced, depressed or miserably married than they are now lol. Its easy to accuse men of sexual anything because its easy to believe. Speak up when it happened like a strong woman or it never happened. Remember: 'Allegations'.

But she worked for him for “years” And “numerous “ occasions 🤔Not feeling it 🤷‍♀️

She didnt even go through proper channels such as reporting it to law enforcement so its hard to find her credible.

Is this being investigated? If not, why not?

If she was broken up about it why did she wait so long? This is fishy.

She should have a tough skin if she is in politics. Where is her evidence?

Where’s the report when it happened

Did he just run up to her and kiss her? There’s more to the story that she’s not telling us..she needs recognition now as she’s running for office...

When you have to Saturday morning recycle a one sided hit piece on NYGovCuomo it must be a sign that Americans aren’t relying on you to use your platform writing about vaccines, available appointments, economic relief, small businesses in need, food distribution locations, etc👌🏻

I've been Harassed at the workplace as Well!!! Other Guys inviting me to the Homo Hop at the University, showing me Playgirl mags, I need to find New Friends....

Wait a minute NBC news. You are not supposed to be reporting on this. OANN Newsmax liebart and Fox have all told us that main stream media is sweeping this under the rug. Who is lying?😂

it’s funny everyone screaming the timing the timing. How could you wait so long . I can only imagine how many of you saying this now, said the same thing about the kavanaugh hearings and his accuser.

Sound advice from the Governor:

Don't understand why a Female or Male takes years before stepping out telling the Media and commenting on Inappropriate behavior by public officials...

A kiss on the lips

The crusifixing has begun for the governor.

She's a republican op trying to put the last nail in his careers coffin. 'He kissed me!' Stfu.

HowardStern your boy NYGovCuomo is in deep do do

Waiting for the book, mini series, lecture tour, merchandising, some new slogan.

Without credible evidence this is just she said/he said.

Why come out now? You worked for that prick. Makes me think you were dumped and then you got mad

BBQ his arrogant hiney.

This old guys that go around thinking that they still got it must be treated medically.

Here we go AGAIN!

Sorry, but if Trump can be president, Cuomo can be NY Gov!

Live by The Press, die by The Press. Wonder who hated him so much they raised enough money to pay The Press to print all this.

Really? But she was tweeting how proud she was of him?

How much did Trump pay this woman in her campaign to lie? It's strange that she's coming out now. Her timing is suspicious. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. She is grimy.

He’s done. In the end, no different than most privileged politicians Ho get corrupted by their power.

Afterthought. Election is near.

Try anything to destroy leadership that you can’t win fairly. Another show of dishonor of the GQP republicans!

Another Pervert

Lock him up

Someone gave her a lot of money!

Yes but as a country like UK national and actions speak leander then words and nobody understands whatever they say or they do because of political and selfish propaganda and racism and hypocrite and dictatorship and nazi and BLACK LIVES MATTER for myself in England

And she just decided to tell it. These women are killing me. The first time I it happened should have been revealed.

Here we go again, this will be interesting, who’s going to sign a witness statement, that’s the real test, a name to the allegations.

Am I’m wrong that trump threatened Cuomo to destroy him? Or was that someone else? So many threats from him —they all blur.

Sounds to me like someone is doing a number on Cuomo. I’ve gone through sexual harassment at work. I do not take it lightly

If it’s true, he shld resign. I’m not a Republican, so I actually take this seriously.

I’m so disappointed in him now it’s all about Game Over Dude, Game Over! I wonder if Chris is even reporting on this as it put him on the spot! Chico Marx would be proud of Andrew

This makes me sad and disappointed. I wanted to believe in Cuomo. Even considered him for Prez.

Why are most people saying this is true got next to 0 followers

Seems there’s always appropriate timing for allegations.

Women like this are the reason real victims don't get their voices heard.

Well, you should have spoken up sooner. I’m about sick of women who don’t stand up for themselves in this day and age.

My darling girl, “years”? May I be so bold to ask why you did not quit? HRS? File a police report? Were you being held hostage? This vague innuendo harms women who have serious complaints.Not funny.

Everyone saying, “why didn’t she report it IMMEDIATELY” has clearly never been assaulted or on the negative end of a power dynamic. AND IT SHOWS.

Sometimes men have to call it the way they see it! Why call Cuomo out for civil or political wrong doing, with appropriate public support? Then she turns it into a sexual harassment issue! NOW I DO NOT BUY EITHER!

Shame on MSNBC for choosing to resort to the same type of tabloid journalism that is normally perpetuated by Faux News and other conservative media outlets.

I may be wrong, but the timing of this raises questions. A lot like the Al Frankenstein smear.

Doesn't look good for Gov. Cuomo

Ohooo nooo pls not again....

Why is it coming out now 🤔

Interesting timing... right doing the nursing home scandal. Hmmmm....

This I'd a witch Hunt!

So why did she keep working for him

Trump would have her pu$$y grabbed thousands times during her years

Why not quit 🤷‍♀️

Here it comes. My man is done done.

100% unprovable she's looking to extort a big $$$ payoff to go away.

Why don't these women take a lie detector? Ford took one right off...Tara ran when it was mentioned..I know they are not admissible in court, just saying why not?

Republicans take notes see how democrats hold other democrats accountable for their actions ... maybe it’s time for Republican supporters and republicans in office to hold every republican who’s spreading trumps big lie accountable that also includes Trump.

Well, looks like the 2 loudest voices on mask shut down, and vocal about having to get their own protections for medical workers who happens to be from BLUE STATES are getting it from all sides. Could this be the plan from Trumpy allies

During her Years of working for him she now comes out with this...why wait till now?....sounds suspicious to me.

I call bs. After all these years where he is supposedly harassing her and she suddenly decides NOW is the time to come forward?

WTH is Cuomo thinking and doing what a dumbass man o man he's really turned the tables on himself self-inflected...

MeghanMcCain has it out for him. Maybe she knows this person

Sounds like orchestrated activity.

She must really think she's 'hot stuff.' Or is it she's trying to win election?

I don’t believe this woman.

Wonder how much Trump paid her for another dirty deed😡

The Cuomo kiss

Check out why this liar left. She was abusing and harassing African American co workers. She’s lying because she can’t get votes

That sound you hear is his career imploding.

Obviously Cuomo has a lot of explaining to do. I’m getting pretty tired of influential men thinking the f’cking rules don’t apply to them.

So every cat and mouse are coming out of the woodworks. Why not do it before he made sure NY had PPEs to save lives. This is BS and it stinks. Come on guys, use some common sense before posting.

We believe her. See how that works. See how that works democrats? GFY democrats.

Has his brother interviewed him yet since the explosion on this?

BelieveAllWomen

Ashamed NYer here... I'm not feminist but shouldn't you use her name? That or just call them both by their title at work. Seems right.

Not these comments victim blaming

Wait! Fugly Fredo Cuomo did this? Yikers!
