ANDREW Cuomo’s ex-wife slept in a lockdown bathroom when he was home as the couple went through their divorce, it has been claimed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cuomo<\/a>\u00a0biographer Michael Shnayerson revealed the claims about Kerry Kennedy, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, as the\u00a0New York<\/a>\u00a0governor remains under fire after a\u00a0slew of sexual harassment allegations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The author recounted the allegations in a 2,500 article for\u00a0Vanity Fair<\/a>\u00a0as he claimed the high profile\u00a0Democrat<\/a>\u00a0has a history of “physical abuse”.<\/p>\n

Cuomo’s spokesman dismissed the allegations as “false” and “tabloid fodder” in a response published as part of the lengthy piece.<\/p>\n

Kennedy allegedly told the family that on “more than one” occasion she would sleep in the locked bathroom as the couple worked out divorce proceedings before their separation in 2005.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve been a human rights activist, and for women who have abusive husbands and here I am enduring this abuse,\u201d Kerry told a friend, claims Shnayerson.<\/p>\n

Shnayerson started work on his Cuomo biography, The Contender, in 2012 and published it in 2015 – and it was direct rival to the governor’s own book All Things Possible.<\/p>\n

He claims for six months Cuomo refused to move out or respond to his wife’s lawyers as proceedings were ongoing in the divorce.<\/p>\n

Kerry is said to have told the public they were seeking an “amicable divorce” – but Cuomo is alleged to have leaked to the press that she had an affair with a “Republican polo player”.<\/p>\n

The politician is also alleged to have made her life “miserable” by “constantly sticking it to her” – such as by refusing to make Christmas plans until December as they shared responsibility of their daughters, twins Mariah and Cara, and Michaela.<\/p>\n

“We tried to be gracious, but \u2026 it turned on his lack of humanity. That\u2019s where I started to think, This is a bad guy. He\u2019s just a bully,” one Kennedy sibling told Shnayerson about the family’s relationship with Cuomo.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Cuomo’s team said: “The divorce was over 15 years ago and was tabloid fodder for weeks with all sorts of untrue rumors circulating. Time has proven them all false.<\/p>\n

“Andrew is a great father, and his daughters will be the first to say that Kerry and Andrew have been great co-parents\u2014and time showed those who spread the rumors\u200e were actually the problem.\u200b”<\/p>\n
