The Shady Side Of Andrew Cuomo

New York governor Andrew Cuomo has enjoyed more than his fair share of fawning media coverage — but when it comes to politicians, things aren't always what they appear. Let's take a deep dive into the shady side of Andrew Cuomo. On Dec. 13, 2020, former Cuomo administration aide Lindsey Boylan accused Andrew Cuomo of workplace sexual harassment. She wrote on Twitter, "Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched. I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation? This was the way for years." In the same Twitter thread, Boylan alleged that she wasn't the only woman in Cuomo's office to suffer harassment. In another thread, Boylan called working for Cuomo "beyond toxic" and "endlessly dispiriting" if you weren't part of his inner circle. Cuomo denied the allegations two days later at a press conference, telling reporters, "I fought for and I believe a woman has the right to come forward and express her opinion and express issues and concerns that she has, but it's just not true." According to The New York Times, Cuomo had a testy exchange in 2017 with reporter Karen DeWitt who asked him about the sexual harassment allegations against his former senior aide, Sam Hoyt, and how he could stop this from happening in state government. He said, "You do a disservice to women, with all due respect, even though you're a woman. It's not government, it's society."
