Roberta Kaplan, co-founder of the Time’s Up legal defense fund, has resigned from the MeToo organization after she was named in the New York state attorney general’s report as having consulted on an op-ed about one of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s accusers.

According to The New York Times, Kaplan submitted her resignation to Time’s Up, where she serves as chairwoman, on Monday — the same day a previously unnamed executive assistant to Cuomo came forward for an interview with “CBS This Morning” and accused the governor of seeking “personal sexual satisfaction” through his hugs with her.
