“The woman said in a statement said she never felt uncomfortable…and never made a complaint,” why yes because society has made it so very safe for women to voice their discomfort and file formal complaints.

One more thing: this is classic DARVO. Deny (I didn’t do it/do anything wrong) Attack (I’m going to sue you) Reverse Victim & Offender (You’re trying to tank my amazing career and job prospects)

Making fun of the harassment, bullying, and abuse that staffers and even reporters experienced at the hands of Cuomo (and his circle) isn’t funny.

After months of pushing, HFNY’s original co-founders secured NY’s first public hearing on sexual harassment in 30 years. Survivors, experts, & advocates spoke openly for 12+ hours. And we secured multiple legislative wins as a result. Listen to survivors. Lift up survivors. Let survivors lead.

Every person deserves a harassment-free workplace. A strong investigative process is one that centers the person who was hurt. And when they experience harassment, they deserve support and guidance. @hfny.bsky.social is here to provide support if you need it.

I’m glad Brittany will close this chapter, but the settlement clause banning her from seeking employment in the Gov’s office is absolute bull. These blackball clauses (which the Gov. also imposed on Charlotte) should be banned. @hfny.bsky.social has a bill that will do just that.

@gothamist.com reported yesterday that Small was already investigated for his treatment of staff. The fact that he was still in a position to allegedly sexually harass someone is deeply concerning. Gov. Hochul must transparently remedy the gaps in the executive chamber worker protections policies.

Last week, HFNY Founding Director @ericaforny.bsky.social joined @lindseyboylan.bsky.social, @char-bennett.bsky.social & @biaggi4ny.bsky.social to call on state leaders to take urgent action against Cuomo’s continued abuse of taxpayer resources and legal intimidation tactics. 1/
