Cuomo’s former assistant – Brittany Commisso – filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the ex-governor on Thursday.

According to the lawsuit, Commisso alleged that Cuomo tried to engage in sexual acts with her and sexually harassed her. She also claimed that her former boss made “unwelcome sexual advances” and “sexualized comments” about her appearance.

Commisso, 32, alleged that Cuomo, 65, subjected her to "humiliating and demeaning tasks, hugs, kisses, sexual touching of the buttocks and forcible touching of the breast” after she joined the governor’s office in 2017.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Commisso initially accused Cuomo of sexual harassment shortly before New York Attorney General Letitia James launched a sexual assault investigation into the then-governor in 2021.

The AG’s 165-page report indicated that Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and even retaliated against one former employee who complained about his inappropriate behavior.

Cuomo ultimately resigned as New York’s governor on August 24, 2021 as a result of the bombshell report.

Commisso, who was dubbed Executive Assistant #1 in the AG’s investigation into Cuomo, then filed a criminal complaint against her former boss. She claimed he “groped her breast” during one incident.

“The governor needs to be held accountable,” she told CBS after coming forward publicly in 2021. “What he did to me was a crime. He broke the law.”

"I mean it was—he was like cupping my breast,” Commisso continued. “He cupped my breast.”

Cuomo resigned as New York’s governor on August 24, 2021 as a result of the New York Attorney General's probe into the allegations against him.

"I have to tell you it was—at the moment I was in such shock that I could just tell you that I just remember looking down seeing his hand, seeing the top of my bra and I remember it was like a little even the cup—the kind of bra that I had to the point I could tell you doesn’t really fit me properly, it was a little loose, I just remember seeing exactly that,” Cuomo’s former executive assistant alleged further.
