Weinstein's lead defense attorney questioned why the woman continued to have cordial interactions with the Miramax co-founder after an alleged assault.
After a once-aspiring actress claimed Harvey Weinstein repeatedly abused her during a relationship that included two instances of rape, the Hollywood mogul’s defense lawyers confronted her Monday with friendly emails and other exchanges between the two, claiming she was actually the one in control of their power dynamic.
Rotunno was quick to point out that the woman joined Weinstein for a screening of the film “August: Osage County” the day after one of the alleged rapes occurred. Five months later, the woman referenced the film in a polite email exchange with Weinstein. Though she alleged Weinstein raped her in Los Angeles and New York — including the alleged 2013 Manhattan attack that prompted some of the charges for which he now stands trial — she also said they had several consensual sexual encounters.
