Another former Cuomo aide accuses him of harassment
By Celine Castronuovo - 03/06/21 10:05 PM EST A third former aide of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has come forward with allegations of sexual harassment, including inappropriate remarks and unsolicited touching while she worked in his office.
Ana Liss, who served as a policy and operations aide in Cuomo’s office from 2013 to 2015, told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Saturday that Cuomo asked if she had a boyfriend and also called her “sweetheart.â€
Liss, now 35, also said that Cuomo on one occasion touched her lower back at a reception, and also once kissed her hand when she sat up from her desk, which was near the governor’s office in the Executive Chamber of the New York State Capitol in Albany.
The former aide told the Journal that while she initially saw Cuomo’s behavior as harmless, she eventually perceived it as patronizing, adding that she felt diminished from an educated professional to “just a skirt.â€
“It’s not appropriate, really, in any setting,†Liss said of Cuomo’s alleged behavior.
