Donna Rotunno’s interview has been referred to Justice James Burke, who had ordered lawyers not to discuss the case in public

Prosecutors in Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assault trial have called for his defence lawyer to be reprimanded after she told a reporter “we have created a society of celebrity victimhood status.”“She’s calling our witnesses liars and celebrity victimhood status, and it is completely in contradiction to your order,” Joan Illuzzi, the lead prosecutor, said, asking for the judge in the New York trial to order the lead defence to “cease and desist.

“I have not spoke to anyone in the media. Have not spoke to anyone since we started this case. That was taped a while ago, and I did not speak about any witness individually. I talked about a multitude of issues with regard to questions that were asked of me. It was done — it was really me going into the lion’s den, not the other way around.”

However, The New York Times confirmed it was recorded on Jan. 28 and that Rotunno was made aware of the air date.“I have not because I would never put myself in that position,” she said. “I’ve always made choices from college-age on where I never drank too much, I never went home with someone I didn’t know, I just never put myself in any vulnerable circumstance ever.”

Rape accuser called Weinstein 'soulmate,' ex-roomate saysThe woman Harvey Weinstein is on trial for allegedly raping spoke highly of him and once called him her 'spiritual soulmate,' her former roommate told jurors Monday. Clearly he has some sort of vampiric health condition-if he isn't raping young starlets he turns into a broken dirty old perv. News flash: it doesn't matter what the victim said outside the circumstances of their assault. All it takes is for the victim to have not consented and its rape. Stop using the pictures with his fake walker, please. If I didn't know better I would think CTV is trying to make Weinstein look better.
