On Wednesday, former aide to Gov. Cuomo opened up on her experience of sexual harassment. She has accused him of going out of his way to touch her inappropriately. She says that one time he even found a way to kiss her during a one-on-one meeting.

The former deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to the governor has claimed that the environment at the work place was suffocating and toxic. According to her, the culture was so toxic that even the top management at the workplace normalized their boss’ behavior. She was once told that Cuomo had a crush on her.

She didn’t just try to create a narrative – she has come with receipts! She has shared the screenshots of emails and text messages that took place between the two.

Lindsey feels compelled to share her story and no longer wants to hide her experiences of workplace intimidation, harassment, and utmost humiliation. She wouldn’t let this behavior go unreported – even if it’s committed by a Governor.

Boylan was promoted to the position of senior adviser in 2018 and, during one of those meetings, Cuomo stepped in front of her and kissed her on her lips without consent. The unwanted advances kept on coming, contributing to workplace harassment.

From the apparent screenshots, it can be seen that Cuomo’s executive secretary Stephanie Benton used to pass along messages from the governor, suggesting that Boylan was “his type” and that she resembles one of his former girlfriends.

One emails reads: “He said look up Lisa Shields. You could be sisters. Except you’re the better looking sister.” After this, Cuomo continued to refer to Boylan as “Lisa” in front of her colleagues.

Boylan confesses that she had shared her experiences of discomfort with her friends – when the Governor used to keep a tab on her whereabouts and touch her on her lower back, arms and legs.

In addition to all this ridiculousness, it has also been revealed by Boylan that Cuomo would comment on the weight of women and belittle them regarding their romantic affairs and significant others.

The actual confession of harassment was made in December last year, but she refused to talk about her experiences with the press. At the time, Cuomo had declined all the allegations.

In 2016, Boylan was utterly scared of Cuomo when she was invited to his office in Albany during the holiday season. She had called up her husband and messaged her mother just in case.

He had called her alone to give her a tour of the office, and she had tried to maintain distance throughout. At that meeting, she had shared a story concerning a cigar box and said that it was given to him by President Clinton.

In her essay, Boylan has said that the Governor used to pass comments and they were all followed by inappropriate actions. Like, he once gave roses to all female staffers and then went on suggesting to play a game of strip poker while on a flight from an event in 2017.

Her mother called him a sexist pig in one of the text messages and told her daughter to try and avoid him at all costs.

New York Governor Cuomo doesn’t have much to say on this topic. He gave a one liner in his defense,saying that her claims are “simply false”.

Boylan has revealed that she served as deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to Cuomo from 2015 to 2018 – however, she also said that she was afraid of taking up this position as she didn’t want to be in close proximity with him. 

Records from September 2018 show that two officials have formally requested Boylan to be removed from the office for requesting the resignation of an employee without having authorization. In addition, it was to ordering other colleagues who failed to report to her.

There were additional concerns regarding her attitude at work. Apparently, she used to bully three African-American women and treat them like children.
