Brazilian Actress Says Jessica Mann Called Weinstein Her ‘Spiritual Soulmate’
A Brazilian actress testified on behalf of Harvey Weinstein on Monday, arguing accuser Jessica Mann, her former roommate, “never seemed upset” with the movie mogul—and once referred to him as her “spiritual soulmate.”
Talita Maia, 35, told jurors in Manhattan Supreme Court she was first introduced to Mann, a key witness in Weinstein’s trial, at an engagement party in the Hollywood Hills in 2013.
“She said a few times that he was her spiritual soulmate,” Maia said during cross-examination, admitting the pair didn’t talk “much about Harvey.” “She said that he was a wonderful person and that he was her soulmate, but I didn’t ask about their sexual relationship.”
