His senior staff began keeping tabs on my whereabouts. \u2018He is a sexist pig and you should avoid being alone with him!\u2019 my mother texted me on November 4, 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boylan mentions a plane flight in October 2017 when, she claims, she and Cuomo were seated \u201cso close our knees almost touched\u201d and Cuomo allegedly stated, \u201cLet\u2019s play strip poker.\u201d Boylan adds, \u201cHis press aide was to my right and a state trooper behind us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Governor\u2019s pervasive harassment extended beyond just me,\u201d Boylan alleges. \u201cHe 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 \u2018money and power.\u2019 I tried to excuse his behavior. I told myself \u2018it\u2019s only words.\u2019 But that changed after a one-on-one briefing with the Governor to update him on economic and infrastructure projects. We were in his New York City office on Third Avenue. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-selectable-paragraph>Boylan opines, \u201cGovernor Andrew Cuomo has created a culture within his administration where sexual harassment and bullying is so pervasive that it is not only condoned but expected. His inappropriate behavior toward women was an affirmation that he liked you, that you must be doing something right. He used intimidation to silence his critics. And if you dared to speak up, you would face consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-selectable-paragraph>Boylan writes that on the morning of December 13, after \u201cenjoying a weekend with my husband and six-year-old daughter, I spontaneously decided to share a small part of the truth I had hidden for so long in shame and never planned to disclose. \u2026 In a few tweets, I told the world what a few close friends, family members and my therapist had known for years: Andrew Cuomo abused his power as Governor to sexually harass me, just as he had done with so many other women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParts of a supposed confidential personnel file (which I\u2019ve never seen) were leaked to the media in an effort to smear me,\u201d Boylan claims. \u201cThe Governor\u2019s loyalists called around town, asking about me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boylan concludes, \u201cI am speaking up because I have the privilege to do so when many others do not. No one should have to be defined or destroyed by this kind of sexual harassment. Nor should they be revictimized if they decide to speak their own truth. I hope that sharing my story will clear the path for other women to do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
