A former executive assistant of then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has filed a lawsuit against her ex-boss.

Brittany Commisso alleges that Cuomo subjected her to “humiliating and demeaning tasks, hugs, kisses, sexual touching of the buttocks and forcible touching of the breast,” the New York Post reports.

In 2021, 11 women accused Cuomo of sexual harassment. Commisso, a married mother of one who was hired in 2017, was among the accusers.

She accused her former boss of groping her inside the governor’s mansion. A misdemeanor criminal complaint was filed against Cuomo related to the incident, which the Albany County district attorney dropped in 2022.

As of Friday, a lawyer for Cuomo had not returned a request for comment.
