Defense grills Harvey Weinstein accuser at trial, says she 'manipulated' himHarvey Weinstein's defense team Monday has attempted to undercut testimony from an aspiring actress by sharing emails she sent Weinstein, after he allegedly raped her, in which they argue appeared to have a good relationship. im going with the witness.. just sayn..over forty right!! Geez, I wonder, wonder, wonder why an aspiring actress would try to butter up a vindictive sociopath that’s in a position to destroy her career and ruin her life. I don’t understand why these actresses agree to meet in hotel rooms. Then, stay even when the guy is in a bathrobe. Also pursue a relation with Weinstein and then accuse him when he finds a new toy. Something is amiss. 🤔
