Former Cuomo Aide Drops Federal Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

Charlotte Bennett withdraws her federal case against Andrew Cuomo, citing aggressive legal tactics and ongoing personal toll.

Charlotte Bennett, a former aide to Andrew Cuomo, has voluntarily dismissed her federal sexual harassment lawsuit against the ex-governor, filed in 2022.
Bennett and her attorney accused Cuomo's legal team of exploitative tactics, including invasive discovery requests, which they claim caused her significant emotional and financial strain.
Cuomo's representatives called the dismissal a 'complete capitulation,' maintaining that Bennett's allegations were baseless and unsupported by evidence.
Bennett plans to continue pursuing justice through a separate lawsuit against the State of New York in Manhattan Supreme Court, where settlement discussions are reportedly ongoing.
The former governor, who resigned in 2021 following a state attorney general report on harassment allegations, continues to deny all claims and faces additional lawsuits from other accusers.
