A former aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo was accused Wednesday of allegedly seeking to examine the woman who sparked the sexual harassment scandal that’s threatening his political profession.
In a sequence of tweets, Lindsey Boylan claimed that Abbey Collins — a former Cuomo spokeswoman who’s now leader communications officer for the MTA — “was calling round asking our former colleagues about me after I got here ahead.”
“Is that allowed? And why did you care such a lot, Abbey?” Boylan wrote.
Boylan added, “Maybe the org chart modified since I left state provider? Any specific reason why you were calling different former feminine colleagues @abbey_e_collins ? I’m looking to piece all of it in combination. Hopefully some people can lend a hand me.”
Boylan — a former Cuomo aide who’s now a Democratic candidate for Manhattan borough president — additionally puzzled whether Collins was performing on the request of present Cuomo administration officers, including Linda Lacewell, the state’s superintendent of economic services, and finances director Robert Mujica.
When contacted through The Post, Collins said of Boylan’s allegations, “It’s faulty.”
Collins declined to remark further.
In a observation issued Tuesday night, Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi stated that the governor’s workplace “proactively reached out to a couple former colleagues” after Boylan, her attorneys and newshounds started contacting former staffers in the wake of her preliminary allegations towards Cuomo in December.
