In November 2017, CNN’s Chris Cuomo struck an optimistic tone about the #MeToo movement. “I just feel like we have an opportunity here. Women are coming forward.” They are indeed, and this time, the target is … Chris Cuomo.
“When Mr. Cuomo entered the Upper West Side bar, he walked toward me and greeted me with a strong bear hug while lowering one hand to firmly grab and squeeze the cheek of my buttock.”
That anecdote comes from Shelley Ross, who spent decades in TV journalism and worked at both ABC and CBS. In a New York Times opinion piece, she recounts this instance of sexual harassment from 2005, when she and Cuomo saw each other at a going-away party for an ABC colleague. That is "a going away cheek press type of thing."
Ross had previously served as executive producer on “Primetime Live,” a show on which she served as Cuomo’s supervisor. Just a "cheeky" thought.
