"It's true that the book didn't say they had sex that night, though it did imply that some sort of romantic encounter took place. Ray wrote there was a moment in which "there was no turning back," as Adams "made up his mind," "closed the distance like a man stepping into something he couldn't walk back from" and told Ray, "fuck it." "After we crossed that line, the love and the fun only intensified," she wrote."
""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.""
Mayor Eric Adams publicly attacked Daily News reporter Chris Sommerfeldt at a press conference, calling him "a dark, sick person." Adams denied that a sexual act occurred at Brooklyn Borough Hall and disputed that the encounter was reported in Jasmine Ray's account. Ray described a moment implying a romantic encounter, saying there was "no turning back," that Adams "closed the distance" and said "fuck it," and that "after we crossed that line, the love and the fun only intensified." The relationship occurred between 2014 and 2016, before Adams appointed Ray to a senior administrative role. Adams had posted an endorsement of Ray's account on X shortly before the confrontation.
