A former boss of Chris Cuomo is coming forward and accusing him of sexually harassing her at a 2005 work party in front of both her husband and her friends. Chris Cuomo might be an on-air personality, but he doesn’t have much common sense; he only characterized as a “hearty greeting.”

The anchor was recently caught up in controversy in regards to his alleged involvement in the sexual assault controversy that took down his brother, former Democrat and liberal Governor Andrew Cuomo. Apparently, Cuomo now has his own snadal to account for.

Shelley Ross worked as Cuomo’s Executive Producer at ABC News, and she detailed some of the anchor’s inappropriate actions in a guest column for the New York Times in a published piece Friday morning.

This is how she recalled her harassment going down:

My husband and I were at the party and he was sitting behind me on an ottoman sipping his diet coke and I was speaking with work friends. Mr. Cuomo entered the Upper West Side bar, he walked toward me, greeting me with a strong bear hug and lowering one to grab and firmly squeeze the cheek of my buttock.

“I can do this now that you’re no longer my boss,” he said to me with a tremendous amount of cocky arrogance. “No you can’t,” I said, pushing him off me at the chest while stepping back, revealing my husband, who had seen the entire episode at close range. We quickly left.”

Chris later apologized via email, Ross claimed, but she also pointed out that the email left her wondering, “Was he ashamed of what he did, or was he embarrassed because my husband saw it?”

“Now that I think of it…I am ashamed,” is what the subject line of the reported email said.

“Though my hearty greeting was a function of being glad to see you … Christian Slater got arrested for a kind of similar act though borne of an alleged negative intent, unlike my own…and as a husband I can empathize with not liking to see my wife patted as such,” Cuomo went on to say.

The incident that Cuomo was referring to at that time was in 2005 when Christian Slater was arrested in New York City for harassing a woman on the street by grabbing her butt. They eventually dropped the charges.

“So pass along my apology to your very good and noble husband … and I apologize to you as well, for even putting you in that situation … next time, I will remember my lesson, no matter how happy I am to see you,” he added.

Ross acknowledged “she never thought that Mr. Cuomo’s behavior was sexual in nature,” but said that “his form of sexual harassment was a hostile act meant to diminish and belittle his female former boss in front of the staff.”

The veteran journalist added that the main reason she raises the incident now is not so much so that Cuomo will be terminated from his job. Rather, she is hoping that it is going to serve as “an opportunity for him and his employer to show what accountability can look like in the #MeToo era.”
