Andrew Cuomo and his then-married top aide, Melissa DeRosa, were in an “emotional romantic relationship” while he was New York governor, according to bombshell testimony obtained by The Post.

But Cuomo — who is running for New York City mayor — seemingly failed to disclose any such relationship to Attorney General’s Office investigators probing sexual harassment allegations that prompted his resignation in August 2021.

Another former Cuomo aide, Josh Vlasto, told the AG’s office that June that DeRosa had confided in him about the relationship, according to an unredacted transcript of his testimony.

“There was a conversation with Melissa where she told me at one point that she had an emotional romantic relationship with the Governor,” Vlasto said under oath, in a portion of the transcript that was later redacted by the AG’s office

Cuomo will most likely be NYC’s next mayor, and it will serve as his springboard for the 2028 race. He will be a serious contender and not one we can take lightly despite all of his personal issues.

For those with short memories his nickname was “The Undertaker” when he was HUD Secretary.

That was due to his brutal management style and alleged ties to organized crime.

He is making a comeback in politics! Whoever is his chief nemesis will throw everything including the kitchen sink, so he is not successful!! Will be interesting to watch this play out.

Yes indeed. But this was a first-a polo player.

Actually I have a loose rule about who not to vote for: find out who the polo players and their fans are supporting for office and vote the opposite.

This is just to clear the way for the Mayor’s race. He probably paid her off to admit this.

True story...Cuomo and then wife kerry kennedy used to work out at the same gym as me in Mount Kisco, NY. In fact RFK Jr also worked out at the gym as he used to live a few miles from me.

Cuomo used to walk around the gym wearing his HUD windbreaker think he was big sheet despite the fact this was around 2003 and he was unemployed at the time. The running joke was as he was walking in the front door of the gym wearing his HUD windbreaker, his soon to be x-wife was walking out the back door to go shag the polo player!!!

“...seemingly failed to disclose any such relationship to Attorney General’s Office investigators probing sexual harassment allegations...”


Don’t care for Cuomo, who “set the Gold Standard™ for putting Covid patients in nursing homes”, but why would he be obligated or even expected to disclose any relationship to the Attorney General’s Office?

I hear you, the dims care deeply about personal issues of Rs, but not at all about their own. I sometimes forget that so we all need the reminder.

I don’t think he’s going to be Mayor. He’s too much of a known, phony speechifying hypocrite. He was governor and what did he fix ?

A platonic “emotional romantic relationship?”

What does that even mean?
