Adams supports City Hall tell-all revealing affair with woman he later hired for 0,000 position.

Mayor Eric Adams has recently engaged with literature, expressing his appreciation for a memoir penned by Jasmine Ray, which details their romantic relationship prior to her appointment to a senior position within his administration. During a social media post from Albania, where he is currently visiting, Adams stated that he admired Ray’s commitment to sharing her experiences and insights from their time together.

Ray’s memoir, titled “Political Humanity,” emerges in the wake of Adams’ recent suspension of his reelection campaign, a move prompted by historically low approval ratings and the complications stemming from a federal corruption indictment. The mayor’s endorsement of Ray’s book signifies a notable moment, as she previously served as the director of sports, wellness, and recreation—a newly created role she held until resigning just before her book’s release.

The memoir recounts how Ray and Adams began dating between 2014 and 2016, a period during which Adams was serving as Brooklyn’s borough president. At the time of their initial meeting at a Brooklyn Nets game, he was involved with Tracey Collins, a former Department of Education official who resigned after coming under investigation.

In her book, Ray provides a candid account of personal moments, revealing that their intimacy first occurred in Adams’ Borough Hall office. As their relationship deepened, Adams expressed intentions of a future together, famously stating that she would become his wife. Despite their eventual breakup, Ray has maintained a friendship with Adams and offers a perspective depicting him as a compassionate leader who has faced undue negative scrutiny from the media.

Ray’s appointment in the administration marks a significant career opportunity, with her salary approximating 0,000. She also worked simultaneously as a consultant for a private childcare service, a role for which Adams granted her a waiver.

Since the release of “Political Humanity,” Adams has limited his public appearances. Recently, he traveled to Albania for discussions with local government officials, partially funded by the Albanian government. As he prepares for his return to New York, speculation surrounds what the future holds for him, especially following his decision to withdraw from the mayoral race.

In an era where personal narratives often intersect with political landscapes, Ray’s memoir has added a layer of complexity to the understanding of Adams’ leadership and the intricacies of his personal life. The book not only sheds light on their past but also raises questions about the dynamics of relationships in the public sphere and their influence on political careers.

As the mayor navigates potential new paths, constituents and observers alike will be watching closely to see how these revelations impact his legacy and future engagement in New York’s political arena.
