Weinstein accuser Jessica Mann testified that their relationship was complicated, but 'he raped me' We will delete an earlier tweet that contained insensitive language regarding the nature of Mann's testimony and an incorrect ID
NEW YORK - A woman who says Harvey Weinstein raped her told a Manhattan jury on Tuesday that her relationship with the Hollywood producer was “complicated” but said that did not change the fact that he had raped her.
The 67-year-old former producer has pleaded not guilty to raping Mann, 34, and to sexually assaulting another woman, Mimi Haleyi. The trial is widely seen as a milestone in the #MeToo movement, in which women have accused powerful men in business, entertainment, media, and politics of sexual misconduct.
Mann, a onetime aspiring actress, said her contacts with Weinstein continued into 2017, when she emailed him, “I love you, always do. But I hate feeling like a booty call.” Mann’s testimony on Monday was cut short after she began weeping uncontrollably as she read aloud an email she wrote in 2014 describing Weinstein as a “pseudo father.”In one email in 2013, Mann told Weinstein she had just been through a breakup and was hoping to have dinner with him.
