New York City Mayor Eric Adams called a local beat reporter a “dark, sick person” over a story about a book written by a woman who alleged she had a romantic relationship with him.
Former City Hall official Jasmine Ray’s new tell-all memoir, Political Humanity, describes an alleged secret relationship with Adams from 2014 to 2016 while he was serving as Brooklyn’s borough president, according to The New York Times. Adams went on to appoint Ray as the city’s first director of the Mayor’s Office of Sports, Wellness and Recreation in 2022. She resigned from the role last month.
