NEW YORK -- A veteran TV news executive says CNN anchor Chris Cuomo sexually harassed her by squeezing her buttocks at a party in 2005.
Shelley Ross said in an opinion piece in The New York Times on Friday that Chris Cuomo, who had formerly reported to her at ABC News, greeted her with a bear hug “while lowering one hand to firmly grab and squeeze the cheek of my buttock" while she was at a party with her husband.
Ross said Cuomo told her, “I can do this now that you’re no longer my boss," and she responded, “No you can’t,” pushing him off while stepping back to reveal her husband, who had witnessed the episode.
Cuomo sent an email shortly afterward saying he was “ashamed." He mentioned a celebrity who had been arrested for similar behavior recently, and apologized to Ross and her husband.
