"In the 30-second clip, which was shared to Reddit before widely being circulated online, Adams is seen talking to a white woman who says the former mayor threatened to punch her in the face. "Eric Adams, please punch me in the face," the woman says. "Eric Adams, I would love for you to punch me in the face." "I'm not mayor anymore, so go f-k yourself," Adams tells the woman. "I'm not mayor anymore, those days are over.""
"A spokesperson for Adams says the video does not show the full context of the exchange, and Adams, now a private citizen, was being harassed by the woman. "The clip is selectively edited, lacks critical context, and misrepresents what actually occurred," Todd Shaprio said. Adams' public spat with the woman is the latest in a series of unflattering headlines toward the former leader of New York City. According to Fortune,"
Former New York City mayor Eric Adams engaged in a public confrontation during deplaning at DFW airport. A 30-second clip shared online shows a woman taunting Adams to punch her and saying she was glad she no longer had to see his face. Adams replies, "I'm not mayor anymore, so go f-k yourself," and later tells the woman, "You're gonna see the Brooklyn in me." A spokesperson said the clip is selectively edited and that Adams, now a private citizen, was being harassed. A cryptocurrency labeled NYC Token that Adams promoted crashed amid rug-pull allegations and reported withdrawals of about $2.5 million. Adams faced felony indictments in 2024 on counts including bribery and fraud.
