Accuser says talk of Cuomo as AG spurred her to come forward
One of the women who accused New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexually harassing her at the workplace said she was motivated to come forward after another woman contacted her sharing similar allegations and following the Democratic governor’s name being floated as a potential nominee for a cabinet position in President Joe Biden’s administration.
“I woke up the next day, and the governor was being floated for attorney general, the highest law enforcement position in the U.S.,” former Cuomo aide Lindsey Boylan told Harper’s Bazaar in an article published Thursday. “And I didn’t think about it at all … I began tweeting about my experience.”
The 36-year-old Boylan, who worked for Cuomo’s team from March 2015 to October 2018, first tweeted about an abusive workplace environment in the administration.
