“Is your testimony today that you can now remember things in 2023 that you didn’t remember in 2017?” Masterson's lawyer Shawn Holley asked the model and actor who is the first witness to take the stand in the Los Angeles courtroom at Masterson's trial on three rape charges.
Holley dwelled on each of these elements in her cross-examination, asking why she had not mentioned in her initial interviews with Los Angeles police detectives and a prosecutor in 2017 that she had said that she was merely trying to go to sleep when she found Masterson trying to have sex with her. “I’m trying to understand how a person’s dead weight can be on your body and how his head can be suspended above your head?” Holley said.
The woman explained that she did not reveal every detail in those initial interviews, and that she had not understood at the time how precise and careful she would need to be. Now that she has given multiple officials interviews and testified in court both at Masterson's preliminary hearing and his first trial last year, she knows better.
