Lindsey Boylan has accused Gov. Cuomo of sexually harassing her and even kissing her on the lips when they were alone in his office. Some of those accusations first surfaced last year on Twitter and yesterday Boylan put up a tweet comparing Cuomo to the monstrous slug Jabba the Hutt from the original Star Wars trilogy.

Gov. Cuomo has denied accusations of sexual harassment but has said he does hug and touch his co-workers and people he’s just met. For instance, this photo shows Cuomo grabbing Anna Ruch. He also allegedly asked if he could kiss her. Honestly, she looks about as thrilled as Princess Leia in that screengrab above.

Ana Liss, another of Cuomo’s accusers, responded to the image of Cuomo the Hutt by comparing Cuomo to another famous movie monster: The T-Rex from the original Jurassic Park.

This isn’t the first time Liss has called Cuomo a monster. She did it more directly in an interview last week:
Liss, now 35, spent two years working in the governor’s office – a dream job in what she describes as a toxic environment. She served as a policy and operations aide to the governor from 2013-2015.
“I don’t think the average person in New York would like to know that their governor is an absolute monster,” she said, speaking exclusively Thursday to 13WHAM News.
Liss accused the governor of asking about her boyfriend, touching her on the lower back and kissing her hand once when she was at her desk. But again, Cuomo’s defense is that he’s just a warm person.
