Prosecutors want to call the actor to support the allegations of Jane Doe 3, who claims that Weinstein sexually assaulted her after she gave him a massage at his hotel in 2010. According to Deputy District Attorney Marlene Martinez, the woman later told Gibson about the incident during a massage, and Gibson’s testimony would help buttress her allegation.
“This created a feud between Mr. Gibson and Mr. Weinstein,” argued Mark Werksman, Weinstein’s attorney. According to the attorneys, Gibson told investigators that Jane Doe 3 had a “PTSD reaction” when he brought up the name “Harvey” during a massage. Gibson was talking about Weinstein in the context of a business deal. The woman stopped the massage, started crying and “gave the idea that Weinstein sexually assaulted or groped her,” Werksman said.
The court spent the first half of the day discussing Jane Doe 1, an Italian model who alleges that Weinstein raped her at the Mr C. hotel during the Los Angeles Italia Film Festival in February 2013. “I don’t believe there’s any case law that suggests they get to pile on fresh complaint witnesses in multiples,” Jackson said, later adding. “It dilutes the evidence. I think it’s a waste of time. I think it’s improper. I think it dilutes Mr. Weinstein’s due process.”
The “vague statement” is not a fresh complaint, Jackson argued: “None of those have the specificity to rise to a fresh complaint. It’s prejudicial.”
This entire thing is disturbing—on both sides

“Mr.Gibson you’re a proven antisemite are u aware Mr.Weinstein is Jewish?” Mel: really? I had no idea…” 🙄
Bury both of these clowns out back
I find this strangely ironic
Root for injuries?
You have to wonder about the strength of the case against Weinstein if Mel Gibson is testifying.
Y’all really gon use white supremacy to defend a SEX OFFENDER? I’m disgusted
Variety working overtime with their cancel culture bullsh*t. Bill Murray, Mel Gibson .. anyone else? 😒
It seems rather unlikely that a 'white supremacist' would have a 35+yr, loving friendship with a black man...
Defense: Mr. Gibson, you are unapologeticly antisemitic? Gibson: Yes, that’s correct. Maybe there are better witnesses.
He’s not wrong
Two wrongs don't make a right.
Mel Gibson isn’t the one in jail tho
The kettle

Ugh. Defense attorney's first question on cross: Mr. Gibson, are you aware of Mr. Weinstein's religious affiliation?
Is that right?
Another example of Mel Gibson being an anti-semite!
A nazi testifying against a rapist
He is expert in being the worst role model as celeb. Perfect for the trial.

The redemption arc for Mel Gibson is in effect.
Not the hero we deserve. But the one we need right now.
