Jessica Mann's Raw Testimony in Weinstein Retrial

0:00On April 29th, Jessica Mann, the 40-year-old former actress, just wrapped up tearful testimony in Harvey Weinstein's latest rape retrial. She detailed how the disgraced producer tried pushing her into a threesome with him and another actress back in February 2013 at the Montage Beverly Hills Hotel, then allegedly raped her the next month at a double-tree in Midtown and again later that year. Mann broke down in court, describing how she fought back, yelling no and trying to escape, but Weinstein held her down. She said his 300-pound frame left her unconscious during one assault and she felt totally owned in the moment. Early on, Mann admitted their encounter started consensual because she hoped for a real loving relationship, knowing his massive Hollywood pull, through all the name-dropping and connections. This marks her third-time reliving these events in court. Weinstein's original conviction for raping her got tossed in 2020 over unfair testimony, a retrial deadlocked by June 2025, leading to this third go-around that kicked off in April.

The jury's weighing it all now, and Mann's raw account could sway the final call. From the spotlight, powered by AI, this is Entertainment and Celebrity News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
