We quickly left.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ross provided a copy of an email Cuomo sent her an hour after the incident. The subject line read, &#8220;Now that I think of it \u2026 I am ashamed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Though my hearty greeting was a function of being glad to see you \u2026 as a husband I can empathize with not liking to see my wife patted as such,&#8221; Cuomo wrote in the email. &#8220;So pass along my apology to your very good and noble husband. \u2026 Next time, I will remember the lesson, no matter how happy I am to see you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ross said she was spurred to reveal the harassment incident in the wake of the sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo&#8217;s brother, former New York governor Andrew Cuomo (D.), who resigned in August following a state attorney general&#8217;s report that found he harassed 11 women. After his brother&#8217;s resignation, Chris Cuomo expressed concern about sexual harassment and wore a T-shirt with the word &#8220;Truth&#8221; printed on it\u2014both of which, Ross said, were &#8220;provocations in this era of personal accountability.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The New York attorney general&#8217;s report also revealed that Cuomo advised his brother on strategy to counter the sexual harassment accusations, helping to draft a statement that the governor&#8217;s team released. CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/juliareinstein\/chris-cuomo-cnn-andrew-harassment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called<\/a> Cuomo&#8217;s actions &#8220;inappropriate&#8221; but declined to discipline him. Even though Cuomo interviewed his brother on his show on numerous occasions, the network said the interviews were not a breach of journalistic ethics because he did not report on the allegations against his brother.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media &#8216;I can do this now that you&#8217;re no longer my boss,&#8217; Chris Cuomo reportedly told former producer before grabbing her buttocks  Chris Cuomo \/ screenshot &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-809439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=809439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=809439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=809439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=809439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
