In “What’s Left Unsaid,” Melissa DeRosa alleges that Jesse McKinley, a Times reporter, grabbed her on the wrist and pulled her toward him.
Melissa DeRosa, who served as a top aide, with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo at a news conference in September 2018. New York Times reporter Jesse McKinley helped to bring down New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo. In February 2021, McKinley, then Albany bureau chief, was the sole byline on an interview with a former Cuomo aide who alleged that the governor had made. Allegations from additional accusers followed quickly, amping up pressure on the governor.
The chippy exchange left an impression on DeRosa. So she rang up McKinley to arrange an air-clearing meeting. Conscious of pandemic social distancing, they met in McKinley’s backyard. They also drank, with McKinley downing more than a bottle of wine on his own, according to DeRosa’s book. Believing that she’d accomplished her goal, DeRosa started gathering her things to go. “Wait, are your eyes blue or green?” McKinley asked. “Blue,” DeRosa replied.
The Erik Wemple Blog spoke with three of DeRosa’s former colleagues in the New York executive chamber and an Albany insider, all of whom said they received a rundown of this episode from DeRosa shortly after it occurred. DeRosa writes that she also recounted the incident to another Times reporter, Nicholas Confessore, a longtime friend who expressed his sympathies, according to the book.Nearly a year later, the Cuomo scandal was all over the news.
