“The difference between me and Andrew Cuomo?Neither of us is governor, but I still have my Emmy(s),” she tweeted.

Two weeks afterannouncing his resignation, Cuomo, 63, was stripped of his Emmy hours after officially leaving office at midnight on Tuesday.

Astatement from the International Academysaid “that in light of the New York Attorney General’s report, and Andrew Cuomo’s subsequent resignation as Governor, it is rescinding his special 2020 International Emmy Award. His name and any reference to his receiving the award will be eliminated from International Academy materials going forward.”

Though he has denied intentionally acting inappropriately, Cuomo agreed to step down in a press conference.

“I would never want to be unhelpful in any way,” he said at the time. “And I think that given the circumstances, the best way I can help now is if I step aside and let government get back to governing.”
