Time’s Up leader Roberta Kaplan has resigned over fallout from her work advising New York governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration when the first allegations of sexual harassment were made against him last year.

Ms Kaplan cited her work counselling the administration last winter and her more recent legal work representing Melissa DeRosa, a top aide to Mr Cuomo who resigned on Sunday, nearly a week after a report by the state attorney general concluded that the governor had sexually harassed 11 women.
