Weinstein Accuser: ‘Deformed’ Mogul Used Injections Before He Raped Me
When former actress Jessica Mann first met Harvey Weinstein at a party in the Hollywood Hills in 2013, she thought “God was blessing” her for all the hard work she’d put in to chase her dreams.
“I had given up a lot to be in Hollywood. It was a big fight between me and my dad and with my religious background, I thought God was blessing me by meeting him,” Mann, now 34, testified Friday at Weinstein’s sex-crimes trial. “I thought it was a blessing.”
But the seemingly fortuitous meeting turned out to be anything but, she told jurors in Manhattan Supreme Court, as months later, the movie mogul sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions, including forcibly performing oral sex on her in a hotel room after promising her lead roles in his upcoming movies.
