Miriam Haley testified against Harvey Weinstein, recalling an incident from 2006 where Weinstein invited her to his apartment. As a production assistant, she felt compelled to accept. During the encounter, he aggressively pursued her with unwanted physical advances, forcing her into a situation where she felt trapped. Haley described her thought process in that moment, choosing to endure the assault in hopes of eventually escaping. Her testimony marks a significant moment in the retrial of Weinstein, as she is the first among several women to take the stand.
As she sat on a couch next to him, he lunged, overwhelming her with kisses and groping, pressing his advances despite her refusals.
Ms. Haley recounted the moment where, backed into a bedroom, she felt trapped and devised the safest course of action to endure the situation.
