A seventh woman has now come forward to accuse the New York governor of inappropriate behavior. A former aide who was identified only as “Kaitlan” told New York Magazine that Cuomo had been “verbally and mentally” abusive to her.
The most egregious allegation to date comes from another unnamed aide who said Cuomo groped her at the gubernatorial mansion in Albany, N.Y.
In his call with reporters, Cuomo insisted that he had not done what was alleged, though he sidestepped a question about whether he had relationships with any of the women that he considered consensual.
Cuomo also implied that there was political or personal animus behind the allegations, arguing that “a lot of people allege a lot of things for a lot of reasons.”
