“This is not When Harry Met Sally. I’m not doing that,” Gov. Gavin Newsom's wife replied during the brutal cross-examination.
“He knows this is not normal, he knows this is not consent,” Siebel Newsom continued. She said she simulated an orgasm to “get him to ejaculate faster” so that she could get away. “I could tell he just needed, he was so determined, just so scary, just all about him and his pleasure, his need for satisfaction, so I just did it to make it stop.
“I know that doesn’t make sense…But if you haven’t been traumatized, it doesn’t make sense,” she noted. Werksman eventually zeroed in on Gov. Newsom accepting money from a man his wife alleged had raped her. “He didn’t know it was bad money until the whole world knew about the #MeToo movement in Oct. 2017?” Werksman asked.
