After five hours of questioning, Jessica Mann was let off the stand during the HarveyWeinsteinTrial because she said she was having a panic attack

— a key witness in Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial who alleges the former movie mogul raped her twice and sexually assaulted her on numerous occasions — was let off the stand on Monday when she said she was having a panic attack during cross-examination.

Mann first appeared in court last Friday to begin her testimony, and continued Monday with cross-examination. She is expected to return Tuesday to be questioned again by Rotunno. Throughout the grueling cross-examination on Monday, Mann had trouble nailing down an exact timeline for the specific events, which Rotunno pressed her on repeatedly, noting the importance of the dates and times of the alleged sexual assaults. Many times throughout questioning , Mann wanted to give a longer explanation and told Rotunno, “We have not talked about why.”

Rotunno then directed Mann to read an email aloud that she had written to her boyfriend in May 2014, finally acknowledging her relationship with Weinstein. In the email, Mann also wrote that her childhood had an impact on her entering a relationship with Weinstein, due to her father’s dating habits. “My secret and my fear was that part of the dynamic I had with Harvey would mean you would never talk to me again,” Mann wrote.

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. 🤔
