"[Cuomo had] given me a job in 1995 and then worked to undermine me in it. Day to day, he made me feel as if I were no good at my job and thus totally dependent on him to keep it. In Cuomo's worldâhe would never admit this even to himselfâworking for him is like a 1950s version of marriage," Hinton wrote in the op-ed. âHe made me feel as if I were no good at my job and thus totally dependent on him to keep it. He always, always, always comes first. Everyone and everything else â your actual spouse, your children, your own career goals â is secondary. Your focus 24 hours a day is on him. Escaping Cuomo is tough because he has to exercise total control."
