New Andrew Cuomo accuser Sherry Vill speaks out alongside Gloria Allred
 [NYPOST] A woman described in detail Monday how Gov. Andrew Cuomo grabbed her face, “manhandled” her and forcibly kissed her while touring her flood-damaged home in 2017 — saying he did so in a “highly sexual manner.”“The whole thing was so strange and inappropriate and still makes me nervous and afraid because of his power and position,” said Sherry Vill, a 55-year-old married mother of three, as she spoke out in an afternoon briefing alongside lawyer Gloria Allred. “I am still afraid of him, but I am no longer willing to remain silent.” The alleged encounter occurred in May 2017, while Cuomo was touring Greece, NY, which had recently been ravaged by floods. Vill, whose house was among those damaged, invited Cuomo into her home and expressed dismay at its condition. “That’s when the governor looked at me, approached me, took my hand and pulled me to him,” Vill said. “He leaned down over me and kissed my cheek. I was holding my small dog in my arms and I thought he was going to pet my dog. But instead he went to squeeze between the dog and mine and kiss me on the other cheek in what I felt was a highly sexual manner.” Cuomo tried to explain the inappropriate contact as a cultural norm. “He said, ‘That’s what Italians do, kiss both cheeks,'” recalled Vill. “I felt shocked and didn’t understand what had just happened,” said Vill. “But I knew I felt embarrassed and weird about his kissing me. I am Italian, and in my family, family members kiss. Strangers do not kiss, especially upon meeting someone for the first time.” Related: Gloria Allred: 2020-01-21 Crying Chucky Schumer Throws Tantrum as 'Midnight Mitch' McConnell Lays Down the Law on Impeachment Gloria Allred: 2019-09-10 Lisa Bloom offered to plant stories about Rose McGowan for Harvey Weinstein: book Gloria Allred: 2017-11-17 Stepson of Roy Moore Accuser: Accusations ‘One Hundred Percent a Lie’ Posted by: Fred 2021-03-31 |
