Shelley Ross, a veteran television producer and the former boss of Chris Cuomo at ABC News, accused Cuomo of sexual harassment Friday, saying the CNN anchor grabbed and squeezed her buttock at a party in 2005.
In May, Chris Cuomo admitted that he had"inappropriate" strategy conversations with his older brother and promised to steer clear of CNN's coverage of the scandal. After the governor's resignation, the broadcaster said in August he urged his brother to resign"when the time came," but"never attacked nor encouraged anyone to attack any woman who came forward."
In response, Ross recalled she said,"No, you can't." She said she pushed him away at the chest while stepping back to reveal her husband, who had seen the entire interaction unfold. Ross said that she “never thought that Mr. Cuomo’s behavior was sexual in nature,” but described it as “a hostile act meant to diminish and belittle his female former boss in front of the staff.”
