"The video, first shared on Reddit, showed the passenger taunting Adams as they walked off the plane. She said, "Eric Adams, please punch me in the face. I would like if you punched me in the face." Adams responded immediately. "Go f*ck yourself, I'm not the mayor anymore," he said. The woman shot back, "F*ck you." Then Adams leaned toward her and added, "You're gonna see the Brooklyn in me." Shortly afterward, the woman pushed past him and walked away."
"Meanwhile, Adams' spokesperson, Todd Shapiro, defended him in a statement to the New York Post. Shapiro said Adams was "a private citizen and was harassed." He added, "The clip is selectively edited, lacks critical context, and misrepresents what actually occurred." On X and Reddit, people shared blunt reactions to the encounter and Adams' behavior. Some focused on the tone he used toward a woman."
