After years of denied allegations, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is being sued by one of his accusers who claims he repeatedly sexually harassed her.
Brittany Commisso, who began working for Cuomo in 2017, filed the lawsuit in Albany on Wednesday under the Adult Survivors Act that, for a year, removed the statute of limitations and allowed alleged victims sue regardless of when the incident in question occurred. .
That window of opportunity closed at midnight on Thursday, Fox News Digital reports
After becoming a media darling for his COVID-19 updates, Cuomo is famous resigned for governor in 2021 amid allegations that he had sexually harassed 11 women.

“I think, under the circumstances, the best way I can help now is if I stand by and let the government go back to the government, and so that’s what I’m going to do, because I work for you and doing the right thing, it’s doing the right thing for you,” Cuomo told New Yorkers at the time.
“I’m a New Yorker, born and raised,” he continued. “I’m a fighter and my instinct is to fight this controversy because I really think it’s politically motivated, I think it’s unfair and it’s not true and I think it demonizes behavior that’s unsustainable for society.”
In her lawsuit, Commisso accuses the disgraced governor of “ongoing sexual harassment” and claims Cuomo retaliated against her.
She is asking for financial compensation.
Cuomo was criminally charged as a result of Commisso’s allegations, but the case was dismissed last year at the request of Albany County District Attorney David Soares. Soares described Commisso as credible, but claimed he could not prove the case, according to Fox News Digital.
Cuomo’s attorney Rita Glavin downplayed Commisso’s claims in the lawsuit, calling them “probably false, which is why the Albany district attorney dismissed the case two years ago after a thorough investigation.” .
“Ma’am. Commisso’s transparent attempt to get cash will fail,” Glavin said in a press release. “We look forward to seeing her in court.”
“Commisso was identified as the ‘No. 1 executive assistant’ in Attorney General Letitia James’ 2021 report that accused Cuomo of sexually harassing 11 women, including current and former state employees, from 2013 to 2020, in violation of state and federal law,” Fox said. news
During her testimony, Commisso accused Cuomo of grabbing her from behind in 2019 while they were taking a selfie in the executive mansion. The governor also reached under her blouse and grabbed her breast in 2020, she claimed. He rubbed her “ass” for “at least five seconds” during the selfie incident, she testified.
She said Commisso’s physical appearance was regularly discussed at the Albany mansion, and Cuomo often made sexually suggestive comments. He often asked her about her divorce and wondered if she had ever had sex with other men while married.
AX, the support for Cuomo is falling.
“This is what he gets for saying he could run for mayor of NYC or that if he hadn’t been falsely accused of sexual harassment, he would have run against Biden,” one user said. “Obviously the Democratic mob wants him out.”
