Miriam Haley, a key witness in Harvey Weinstein's retrial, testified about an alleged sexual assault from nearly two decades ago. During cross-examination, she faced questions regarding her motivations for coming forward amidst the #MeToo movement and her subsequent lawsuit against Weinstein, which settled for $475,000. Although she maintained contact with Weinstein after the alleged incident, Haley insisted her motives were professional rather than romantic. The defense is challenging her credibility by pointing out discrepancies in her statements and highlighting her ongoing communication with Weinstein.
Defense attorney Jennifer Bonjean sparred with Haley over the details of her early statements to the press about the alleged assault, getting her to admit that she didn't give interviewers back then a full picture of her relationship with Weinstein.
Haley testified that she flew to Los Angeles on Weinstein's dime a day after the alleged assault, and a few weeks later agreed to meet him at a Manhattan hotel.
