New York City Mayor Eric Adams attacked a reporter from the Daily News at a press conference Friday, describing him as a “dark, sick person” for co-bylining a story that said Adams and his ex-girlfriend Jasmine Ray had sex for the first time at Brooklyn Borough Hall years ago.

“You are a dark, sick person, man, you know that? You are a dark, sick person,” Adams said, addressing Daily News reporter Chris Sommerfeldt directly, denying that the sexual act was described in a memoir written by Ray. “Some of you have been covering me for three-and-a-half years, some of you are so sick and dark, and you are the leader of that. You are one of the most dark writers that I’ve ever seen in this city. Your personal, sick vendetta and the sickness of how you think of oversexualizing a Black man.”
