- Cuomo accuser Lindsey Boylan slams Chris Cuomo, asks whether he 'also harassed and assaulted' women
-
This report falls into the interesting sidebar category among Andrew M. Cuomo's multiple scandals. The story involves Lindsay Boylan's remarks on Twitter calling out CNN's Chris Cuomo. Boylan was the first woman to come forward to accuse Andrew M. Cuomo of sexual harassment back in December 2020. CNN's Chris Cuomo is Andrew M. Cuomo's brother, who has often functioned as his brother's Cheerleader-in-Chief at CNN, taking down the news network's journalistic credibility with his extraordinarily biased coverage and his role in advising Governor Cuomo how to handle the news media as it covers his multiple scandals.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo accuser Lindsey Boylan slammed CNN anchor Chris Cuomo Saturday for using "absolutely all his power" to "smear" and "destroy" her and questioned whether it was because he had also harassed and assaulted women....
Boylan, 36, a former aide to Gov. Cuomo, was the first accuser to go public with accusations that he had sexually harassed her. She is also running as a candidate to be borough president of Manhattan in New York City.
Boylan's tweet came shortly after the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division announced it would not launch investigations into nursing homes in New York and other states whose governors forced facilities to admit COVID-19 patients despite their vulnerable populations.
Following Boylan's and other's accusations, in May, Chris Cuomo was forced to address a stunning report from The Washington Post that revealed he participated in strategy sessions with Gov. Cuomo. The "Cuomo Prime Time" host admitted it was a "mistake" to participate in the calls, and offered an apology to his CNN colleagues for putting them in a "bad spot."...
Last year, Cuomo was also heard denying apparent sexual misconduct allegations on a secretly recorded audiotape amid a conversation with former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
Here's Boylan's 23 July 2021 tweet calling out CNN's Chris Cuomo:
Precursor: @ChrisCuomo used all his power, absolutely all his power (@cnn 😉), to smear & try to destroy me. (In ways you haven’t heard). Sad.

Curious minds would ask: is it bc he loves his brother or bc he also harassed & assaulted women.
I’m not curious. I already know. pic.twitter.com/Dchm9AliJhAt this writing, there's very little information in the news media regarding any particular alleged sexual misconduct incidents involving CNN's Chris Cuomo. The article linked in the report above is to a September 2020 piece that references an internal investigation undertaken by news network ABC when Chris Cuomo was employed there, but doesn't provide much detail on any specific allegations.
Right now, your guess is as good as ours for whether anything comes from Boylan's tweet. We're presenting it as a sidebar item in the timeline because it provides context for Andrew M. Cuomo's larger scandals.
