Former NYPD detective Bo Dietl was dropped from New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s (D) legal defense fund after telling a reporter to go suck dick somewhere.”

Dietl was a longtime NYPD detective who transitioned into entertainment and politics. He wrote an autobiography titled One Tough Cop in 1998 that was turned into a movie, and he made appearances in films like Goodfellas and Wolf of Wall Street. In politics, he previously unsuccessfully ran for New York City mayor. He’s also worked as a private investigator for people like Steve Bannon.

Dietl and his security firm were hired to vet donors to the mayor’s legal defense fund.

Politico reported on Thursday that Dietl’s firm was dropped just a couple hours after a testy exchange with one of their reporters. The reporter, Irie Sentner, asked Dietl by phone about the payments the legal defense fund was paying him.

“Why don’t you do me a favor. Go suck somebody’s dick, because I don’t want to talk to you, okay? You like to suck dick? Go suck dick somewhere,” Dietl said before hanging up the phone.

The mayor’s legal defense fund is a fundraising group started in 2021 in response to a federal probe into campaign fundraising.

“The mayor believes that that language is unacceptable, and that no person should talk to another person in such a disrespectful way,” Vito Pitta, counsel for the organization, told Politico afterward.

The New York Daily News reported this week on the spending by Adams’s legal defense organization. When Dietl was reached, he offered a vulgar response when asked to elaborate on the legal fees his firm had been paid in light of other firms being paid to provide the same vetting services. Pitta said multiple firms were needed at the time because of the time-consuming work.

“I wouldn’t f**king tell you any f**king thing,” he said.
