High-ranking NYC officials start fighting, throwing phone at Adams event

Here’s a catfight worthy of “The Real Housewives of City Hall.”Two high-ranking New York officials have been caught on camera wrestling with each other over a phone at an official event at Gracie Mansion on Tuesday night.City Department of Corrections press secretary Annais Morales and DOC member Mariam Singh struggled with each other in a diva donnybrook that was finally stopped by two uniformed corrections officers, a video posted to X revealed.City Hall blasted the pair for their reality show behavior.“We expect all city employees to act with the highest level of integrity.This matter is under investigation by the Department of Correction,” Deputy Mayor of Communications Fabien Levy told The Post. The DOC officials started their cellblock-level scuffle after getting into a verbal argument near a fern on the side of a packed room, as dancers could be seen in the background of the Hispanic heritage event.
