Lindsey Boylan, the first of six women who has accused New YorkGov.Andrew Cuomoof sexual harassment or misconduct, says former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is no longer her personal "hero."

In a new interview with theNew Yorkerpublished Thursday, Boylan --a candidate for Manhattan borough president who worked as an adviser to Cuomo from 2015 to 2018 -- details a memory of the governor showing her a cigar box that was a gift from former President Bill Clinton and recalls idolizing her.

Boylan described Hillary Clinton as "the great hero" of her life but said that is not the case anymore after the former first lady released a response to the allegations against the governor.

"These stories are difficult to read," Clinton had said in a March 1 statement of accusations against Cuomo,"and the allegations brought forth raise serious questions that the women who have come forwardand all New Yorkers deserve answers to."

Clinton added that she was "glad to see that there will be a full, independent, and thorough investigation."

That response from Boylan's idol left her "dismayed," according to the New Yorker.
