Jennifer Siebel Newsom is expected to return to the witness stand in the Harvey Weinstein trial Tuesday -- one day after she gave testimony the former film producer raped and sexually assaulted her 17 years ago.
Siebel Newsom -- who was referred to in court only as "Jane Doe #4" but has been publicly identified by her attorney -- told jurors she felt like Weinstein had "taken a piece of me."but that she was "confused" and "a little hesitant" when she got a message from his assistant directing her to meet him in his suite in September 2005.
She said she recalled trying to back away and being involved in a "cat-and-mouse thing" with Weinstein, whom she said subsequently went into a "diatribe" about his childhood, his mother and his brother. "I was afraid of what he was doing, putting his body into my body and hurting me," she testified, adding that she put her hand on his penis and made some "pleasure noises" to put an end to what was happening.
"I was so violated and I don't know how that happened. I didn't see the clues and I didn't know how to escape," she said. "He like destroyed me emotionally and physically. It made being in the entertainment industry really hard and not enjoyable." The prosecutor said last month that the woman is expected to testify about the alleged attack in a hotel room at The Peninsula in Beverly Hills.
Of "Jane Doe #4," Werksman said then that she has been a prominent figure in the #MeToo movement, and said that, "Otherwise, she'd be just another bimbo who slept with Harvey Weinstein to get ahead in Hollywood."
