  • The mayor’s office said Eric Adams dated Jasmine Ray roughly a decade ago and maintains there was no romantic relationship while they worked together at City Hall.
  • Ray resigned from her director of sports, wellness and recreation role days before Adams announced he would end his 2025 reelection bid.
  • Ray is self-publishing a memoir titled Political Humanity and has promoted it with AI-generated materials, including an Instagram trailer featuring avatars.
  • The New York Post published intimate excerpts from an advance copy, with the book scheduled for release on Sunday.
  • Government watchdog John Kaehny criticized the hire as nepotistic and said the Conflicts of Interest Board should have been consulted, while the board declined comment.
