0:00It's April 28th. This is Entertainment in Celebrity News today, AI-powered stories from the Spotline. Jessica Mann took the stand for the third time in Harvey Weinstein's retried rape case, telling jurors how the former movie producer trapped her in a New York hotel room back in 2013 and assaulted her despite her repeated nose. The 40-year-old hairstylest and actor broke down in tears, saying she tried to leave but he overpowered her and treated her like he owned her. They first met at a party near Los Angeles that year when she was chasing acting gigs. Was started as career chats and industry events turned into a complicated relationship with some consensual encounters, but Mann described Weinstein. Flipping into a demanding monster whenever she pushed back, jurors listened closely Tuesday. Pans ready, as her emotional testimony stretched into a second day. Weinstein, now a 73-year-old inmate, sat steady, sipping water, while denying all assault claims. His team calls everything consensual and hasn't cross-examine her yet.

1:02This comes after his 2020 conviction for raping Mann got overturned, followed by a deadlock jury last year. He's also appealing sex crime convictions from other women in New York and California. Mann's raw account keeps the focus sharp on that hotel incident, even as she powered her through without breaks, showing the resolve that's to find this. Long fight for justice.
