"In the tell-all tome, called "Political Humanity," Ray alluded to a sexual encounter with Adams in Borough Hall in Brooklyn. The charge led to Adams calling the reporter "sick and dark" and holding a vendetta against him. Chris Sommerfeldt is the Senior City Hall reporter for the New York Daily News whose article was at the center of the kerfuffle. He appeared on 710 WOR's Mendte in the Morning program to express his surprise at the mayor's sudden rage against the media machine."
"I will say the mayor has been very bitter about media coverage of his administration for quite some time... I just know that ever since he was indicted on corruption charges last fall, he's been very, very angry about the ways on which the indictment, the fallout from it, and everything that came with it was portrayed in the media."
Mayor Eric Adams angrily confronted a Daily News reporter after a story reported allegations from Jasmine Ray's book that alluded to a sexual encounter in Borough Hall. The mayor called the reporter "sick and dark" and appeared to hold a personal vendetta over the coverage. Senior City Hall reporter Chris Sommerfeldt said he stood by the reporting and sought clarification from the mayor at a press moment, but the mayor denied the claim and refused to clarify. Sommerfeldt noted Adams has shown longstanding bitterness toward media coverage, intensifying after an indictment and related fallout last fall.
