In his resignation announcement, <a href="https://longisland.news12.com/gov-cuomo-resignation">Gov. Andrew Cuomo </a>denied intentionally showing any disrespect toward women, saying in his mind he never crossed the line with anyone.

"The most serious allegations made against me had no credible factual basis," says Cuomo in his response to Brittany Commisso's criminal complaint filed against him.

Commisso, an executive assistant on Cuomo's staff, detailed her interactions with Cuomo in a joint interview with CBS and The Times Union of Albany that was broadcast Monday. Commisso accused Cuomo of groping her breast under her blouse.

"In my mind I've never crossed the line with anyone," says Cuomo. "But I didn't realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn. This is not to say that there are not 11 women who I truly offended, there are. And for that I deeply, deeply apologize."

Attorney and executive director for Parents for Megan's Law Laura Ahearn says his apologies do not get him off the hook.

"He was making excuses for his inappropriate behavior," says Ahearn. "These violations of boundaries are exactly the definition of sexual harassment."

Ahearn also pointed out that Cuomo is the governor who signed legislation years ago giving women in the workplace relief from sexual harassment.

LIFORECAST

Something homemade. It's much appreciated, happy holidays, everyone. I'm Janice Lieberman and that's the real deal. All right, thanks to inflation, you will have to pay more for those turtle doves and partridge in a pear tree. The PNC Christmas price index measures the gifts included in the holiday classic, the 12 days of Christmas. Now, the research suggests the cost has now hit a record high because of inflation. They find the pear tree is going to cost 15% more. This Christmas, the price of the partridge did not change. I'm sure the five golden rings didn't have anything to do with it. I was just thinking about, I was going through the list, my golden rings. I wonder what lords are leaving, how much they cost this time of year. And you know, I really realized that we are in the holiday spirit when we saw the flurries yesterday. Yeah, you know, it's that time of year and you know, Thanksgiving was so early this year, next year, it's the 28th. So we're looking at a big change there. We have extra time this year to get into the Holiday Spirit and we had the festive flakes yesterday. A couple of snow shoes, hours flurries and a few squalls yesterday. And now the sunshine, dry, cold weather conditions around the island out there for today. Sunny skies over towards Riverhead as well. Going throughout the day, our friends in Brentwood sunshine this morning, some clouds come in during the afternoon. But notice those hour by hour temperatures only in the upper thirties, you got to have, uh, the gloves, a hat and a scarf, especially if you're going to be working outside all day long. It's been a dry rush for the day. We're going to be looking at some quiet weather through this evening and quiet Nassau County. Seven County, you're looking ok for today. Again, the big story, everyone's talking about the chill, the wind that is just going right through you. So you dress in layers. Now, during our afternoon hours, 345 kids coming home from school running some errands ss are in the mid thirties. Now, one thing I want you to notice you see these arrows, that's our wind direction. Wind is always the direction it's coming from. So this is a west southwest wind and that is indicative of some warmer weather on the way. So overnight, not as cold, we have a dry evening rush hour tomorrow morning, twenties to around 30 degrees and not as bad as a wind coming through. Then going throughout the day on Thursday, mid to upper forties, dry weather. Now, temperatures on Friday, get into the fifties, but a lot more clouds moving on through. Take a look at our weather map. Friday morning. We're in the mid and upper forties here. Then the clouds come in low fifties for highs, showers late in the day. Towards the evening hours. We'll have the wet weather and gone very quickly into your Saturday highs today in the thirties, it is cold for today. Tonight, twenties to around 30 degrees and take a look at the extended forecast. We start our warm up on Thursday, rain Friday afternoon through Friday evening, more rain, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Thanks for.
