Lindsey Boylan, who is now running for Manhattan borough president, said the governor would often discuss her physical appearance when she worked for him.

Ms. Boylan declined multiple requests for further comment. She has thus far discussed no specific allegations, nor did she provide any immediate corroboration.
“There is simply no truth to these claims,” the governor’s press secretary, Caitlin Girouard, said on Sunday.
On Twitter, Ms. Boylan explained her policy of not taking questions from reporters on the topic.

“And as @FKAtwigs said yesterday, my second worst fear is having to talk about and relive this,” she said, referring to the musician, who on Friday sued an ex-boyfriend, actor Shia LaBeouf, alleging he physically and emotionally abused her.
