Jessica Mann delivered an emotional and explosive testimony in a packed New York City courthouse on Friday, alleging that“The more I fought, the angrier he got,” said Mann, who choked back tears at various points during her testimony. “His anger scared me.”
“He would talk very dirty to me about fantasies and things and compare me to other actresses who were doing kinky [things],” Mann said. “He always wanted to film me.”“If he heard the word ‘no ‘it was like a trigger for him,” she said at another point. “I entered into what I thought was going to be a real relationship with him and it was extremely degrading at that point,” she said.
Before Mann took the stand, Damon Cheronis, an attorney for Weinstein, pushed for a mistrial, claiming that prosecutors had violated discovery rules.
