“He was to my left. I was on the right. With my right hand, I took the selfie,” Commisso recounted. “I then felt, while taking the selfie, his hand go down my back onto my butt, and he started rubbing it. Not sliding it. Not, you know, quickly brushing over it—rubbing my butt.”

Commisso said she was so shocked by what was happening that her hand started shaking and she couldn’t take the photo. “I was embarrassed,” she said. “Not only embarrassed for what was going on; I was embarrassed that a governor wanted a selfie and I couldn’t take it. I was so nervous.”…

Months later, Commisso says she was summoned to the mansion again and was groped once more. The second incident took place in November 2020, when Cuomo allegedly hugged Commisso in what she described as a “sexually aggressive manner” while his office door was wide open.
