WASHINGTON (TNND) — Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams told a woman, who allegedly booed and harassed him, to “go f–k yourself” while they were exiting a flight.
A 30 second video posted to Reddit showed a woman wearing a N-95 mask asking Adams to punch her in the face.
“Eric Adams, please punch me in the face. I would like it if you punched me in the face,” the woman said.
“Go f*** yourself I’m not the mayor anymore,” Adams said, walking a few steps behind the woman.
“Ok, you can get f***** too,” the woman said. She proceeded to raise her middle finger in the air at him as Adams walked past her.
Adams then turned around to face her, and attempted to block her walking path.
“You’re gonna see the Brooklyn in me,” Adams said.
The video did not show the beginning of the altercation between the pair, who just returned to New York from Dallas.
The anonymous Reddit poster, who claimed to have recorded the video alleges that the woman recognized Adams and proceeded to boo.
The New York Post first reported on the Reddit video. Adams responded to an X post of the story by writing “Exactly.”
Todd Shapiro, Adams’ spokesperson told the Post that the video posted “is selectively edited, lacks critical context, and misrepresents what actually occurred.”
Adams, who faced federal corruption charges which were later dropped by the Trump administration, dropped out of the mayoral race in late September last year.
As for his latest endeavor, Adams launched on Monday his plans to combat antisemitism with cryptocurrency through “NYC Token.”
