The leader of Time’s Up, the #MeToo-era organization devoted to fighting sexual harassment, has resigned under fire for advising Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration behind the scenes in its effort to discredit one of Cuomo's accusers. Both Kaplan and Alphonso David, leader of the Human Rights Campaign, were consulted over a letter the Cuomo administration had drafted attacking Boylan's credibility. According to the attorney general's report, Kaplan told the administration that with some adjustments, the letter would be fine to send out. Kaplan's role in advising the Cuomo administration stunned sexual assault victims and others.
