TV Academy revokes Cuomos Emmy amid scandal, resignation
August 24, 2021
NEW YORK (AP) Hours after leaving office, scandal-tainted former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo suffered another defeat Tuesday, losing the special Emmy Award he received last year for his daily, televised briefings on the coronavirus pandemic.
The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said in a statement that given Cuomos resignation amid a torrent of sexual harassment allegations it was taking away the prize and removing any reference to him in its official materials.
A message seeking comment was left with Cuomos lawyer.
Cuomo left office at 12 a.m. Tuesday, two weeks after he announced he would resign rather than face an impeachment battle that seemed inevitable after a report by independent investigators overseen by state Attorney General Letitia James concluded he had sexually harassed 11 women.
The report marked a stunning downfall for Cuomo, whose leadership during the COVID-19 crisis drew widespread praise and accolades, including from the television academy, and led to a book deal for him worth at least $5 million.
