Sandra Lee, who dated Andrew Cuomo for 14 years, took to her Instagram Story in April 2020 to let the public know that the focus on Cuomo’s nipples was unnecessary and rude. Furthermore, she claimed that it is straight-up bullying. She also dismissed the articles about the possible piercings as “nonsense.”
“I just want to take a moment and say I woke up this morning to a lot of stuff going online. A lot of stories being written, and a lot of nonsense being said,” Lee told her followers in the Instagram video (via Just Jared). “And I just want to say, body shaming is not okay. It’s never going to be okay.”
Lee went on to praise Cuomo for his hard work amid the coronavirus pandemic, doubling down on her stance against body shaming. She explicitly admonished those who focused on his body, telling them to “knock it off.” Lee also encouraged people to take their minds off Cuomo’s nipples and instead focus on the important issues at hand.
“When people are out in the front lines and working so hard for all our benefits, to turn around and body shame, shame on you. Knock it off,” Lee said. “Do something to uplift people and make the world a better place. Not take cheap shots that are unnecessary.”
