A former aide accusing ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment has decided to drop her federal lawsuit, just days before she was due to give a marathon deposition.

Charlotte Bennett announced that she had voluntarily withdrawn her lawsuit against Cuomo late Monday and claimed the former executive had used “unlimited” taxpayer funds meant for his defense to attack her to the point that she felt she’d be “better off dead than endure more of his litigation abuse.”

“Andrew Cuomo is going to claim this as some kind of victory, which should be viewed, of course, as pathetic,” said Erica Vladimer, co founder of the Sexual Harassment Working Group. “Instead, New Yorkers will see him for what he is: an abusive, empty pit of a man who wasted $25 million of taxpayer money to cover up his own mistakes.”

Just days ago, The Post reported that Cuomo had sought a gag order to prevent Bennett from publicly discussing the $28 million in taxpayer funds paid out to defend him and others related to his cases, money to which the former governor is legally entitled.
