"She told the outlet that she spoke with the candidate during a one-on-one Zoom call and said that the meeting was "initially courteous, substantive, even inspiring." But, according to the woman, Schlossberg suddenly slammed his hands on the table and moved closer to the screen and began using the woman's name and telling her repeatedly that he "wanted her" and "needed her." She told the Times that while she thought he was referring to the job, his tone appeared suggestive and made her uncomfortable. The woman ultimately did not take the role."

"Phillips, Schlossberg's campaign manager, said this incident "did not happen" and that she sits in on every campaign interview. However, the woman says Phillips was not part of her call with Schlossberg. The Times opens its piece recounting the scene from the launch of Schlossberg's campaign, writing that his staff had arranged calls with donors, news outlets and other prominent individuals to mark the beginning of his congressional bid."

"But three sources tell the Times that Schlossberg suddenly changed course and said he "needed a nap." The candidate then "effectively disappeared for the day, leaving his team reeling," per the report. According to the outlet, Schlossberg's occasional absences extended beyond that first day and that the political influencer would skip weekly strategy meetings and would often be unavailable without explanation. The Times noted that Schlossberg "did carve out time to swim or paddleboard in the Hudson most days.""
