Producer Paul Feldsher struggled under questioning about texts he sent Weinstein.
Feldsher said under direct examination that there was no reason to believe the incident was forced or violent.
Paul Feldsher is questioned by lawyer Donna Rotunno during film producer Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault trial at New York Criminal Court in the Manhattan borough of New York City, Feb. 6, 2020 in this courtroom sketch. At another point, Feldsher acknowledged texting Weinstein that"Annabella is an a------" and,"I think the dogpile of women who are suddenly recalling repressed memories is hideous."At one point the exasperated witness blurted out,"Listen, I'm learning a lot now and I had no idea that my text messages would end up in a courtroom."
Harvey Weinstein leaves a Manhattan courtroom during his rape trial in New York, Thursday, Feb. 6, 2020.Illuzzi asked Feldsher if it was true that"in the middle of telling Harvey Weinstein she's a liar and an a------," he texted Sciorra herself.It was not immediately clear from the testimony exactly when Feldsher sent the texts to Weinstein and Sciorra, but their content indicated they were sent after Sciorra's allegations against Weinstein first surfaced in the fall of 2017.
"The awfulness I'm talking about was Annabella was a 58-year-old woman unemployed with twins she couldn't support. I was talking about the circumstances of her life that put her in position where I felt she was making untrue allegations.""Is it correct to say that you were saying things that you thought Harvey Weinstein wanted to hear?" Illuzzi demanded.
