A day after her emotionally charged testimony that Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein raped her in 2005, Jennifer Siebel Newsom faced an aggressive interrogation Tuesday over dozens of friendly emails she exchanged with him in the years afterward.Weinstein attorney Mark Werksman sought to cast doubt on Siebel Newsom's credibility by questioning her statement that, after the rape, it was weird and scary to run into her assailant from time to time at film industry events.

En mi familia hablamos de cosas dificiles.Eso no quiere decir que seamos seres taciturnos.No lo somos.Ni somos especialmente profundos.Si acaso, tendemos al ridiculo, y a hacer el tonto, siempre que es posible.Al mismo tiempo, durante mas de tres anos de lidiar con el cancer hepatico de nuestra hija Orli, hemos tenido que atravesar lo inimaginable, y tambien traducirselo a nuestras hijas.
