Eric Adams apparently got into it with a heckler at the airport, according to a video of the exchange that was posted to Reddit<\/a> on Tuesday. The footage seemingly shows the two getting off a plane, apparently in Dallas, after flying in from New York.<\/p>\n \u201cEric Adams, please punch me in the face! I would love if you punched me in the face,\u201d the woman can be heard saying in the video. Snapping back at her, Adams said, \u201cGo fuck yourself.\u201d \u201cOkay, you can get fucked, too, fuck you,\u201d she replied. Adams then retorted, \u201cI\u2019m not mayor anymore,\u201d to which the woman said, \u201cThank God.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re gonna see the Brooklyn in me,\u201d the former mayor added.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear what led to the heated back-and-forth, but a spokesperson for Adams, Todd Shapiro, defended him in a statement to the New York Post<\/a>, saying he is \u201ca private citizen and was harassed.\u201d \u201cThe clip is selectively edited, lacks critical context, and misrepresents what actually occurred,\u201d Shapiro said without sharing any further context on the interaction.<\/p>\n Whatever it is that happened, it seems that Adams stands by<\/a> his response \u2014 on Tuesday, he shared a link to a New York Post article about the incident on social media, simply writing, \u201cExactly.\u201d Hey, I\u2019d probably be in a bad mood too if my antisemitism-fighting cryptocurrency<\/a> had just crashed.<\/p>\n Stay in touch.<\/p>\n Get the Cut newsletter delivered daily<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
