Now that he’s no longer mayor, Eric Adams can devote his time and energy to his true passion: partying. Over the weekend, the former mayor went to a Sports Illustrated party at Cipriani, where, according to “Page Six,” he was “flocked” by women — a couple of whom even got his number. Just because Adams no longer lives in Gracie Mansion doesn’t mean he can’t mix and mingle with the good people of New York!
“Page Six” reported that Adams was looking “chummy” with several women who were trying to chat with him. One partygoer told the outlet that Adams exchanged numbers with two brunettes. “I don’t think he knew people could see him in action,” the source said. “His table was right by the stage.” Sounds like Adams had a great time! Besides, his longtime partner, former NYC Department of Education staffer Tracey Collins, wasn’t with him, so who else was he supposed to talk to?
While it may sound like Adams was getting flirty with his former constituents, a spokesperson for the politician promised that couldn’t be further from the truth. “Eric Adams didn’t earn the nickname ‘the Nightlife Mayor’ by sitting home on Saturday nights,” Adams’s rep told “Page Six.” “Eric arrived on his own, greeted people, met new faces, and like he’s done for more than 40 years, exchanged phone numbers. That’s called networking.”
Adams’s rep went on to insist that “there was absolutely nothing improper” about what the former mayor was getting up to at Cipriani. “Eric Adams has always enjoyed meeting people from all walks of life, and Saturday night was no different,” he said. Is the spokesperson doth protesting a little much? Who’s to say? Maybe he really was just networking and those women will be joining him for a super buttoned-up meeting at Zero Bond next week.
