As OK! previously reported, Attorney General Letitia James — via independent investigators — found that Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women, violating state and federal laws. The investigation also found that the former lawyer instructed staff to retaliate against one accuser who came forward and fostered a "a toxic workplace," for his employees.
Back in March, more than 55 Democratic members of the New York State Assembly called for the 56th governor of New York to step down, to which he has refused. He has also denied ever touching anybody inappropriately.
As OK! previously reported, one of his accusers and former employees Lindsey Boylan, is planning to sue Cuomo and his team. Her lawyer Jill Basinger, announced that she is putting together the claim and plans to move forward with the lawsuit.
She explained "Because Lindsey was first, the governor needed to send a message. He needed to send a message to every other survivor out there that this is what happens when you go against the machine of the governor's office."
